Average rating4.8
From award-winning author E. J. Mellow comes the third and final installment in the Mousai series, following a young woman torn between the man she loves and the kingdom she calls home.
Within the world of Aadilor sits the hidden Thief Kingdom, a land overflowing with magic and mayhem. There the Mousai, a trio of deadly sorceresses, serve the reclusive Thief King, delivering punishment and pleasure to the masses.
Arabessa Bassette is the leader of the Mousai, conducting their powerful gifts with unyielding precision. But behind her mask of control burns a desire to forge her own path—along with a tumultuous relationship with Zimri D’Enieu, her father’s right hand and the man who’s held her heart since they were children. When an unexpected invitation to vie for the Thief King’s throne pulls her into a deadly competition, Arabessa’s composure cracks as she finds herself with an impossible choice—give up her greatest love or her greatest ambition.
But sacrifices loom large in the Thief Kingdom, for the quest for power always comes at a price. With her and Zimri’s future hanging in the balance, Arabessa must decide if she’s willing to pay it.
Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where love is found between cracks and the most mesmerizing symphonies carry lethal notes. Dare to play?

I loved this book so much! E.J. Mellow really killed it with each of the 3 books in this series. The sisters all had their own quirks, struggles, and experiences that set them apart from each other and read like they had their own voices instead of feeling like more of the same thing.
This book in particular was so angsty I loved it! The struggles that Arabessa had to go through in her personal life and relationship with the MMC was the exact vibe that I wanted. I did get frustrated with her indecision at the beginning of the book but then circumstances changed that backed her hesitation and added foundation to the decisions she was making so that was forgivable.
Overall a really great read.
This has now become one of my favourite trilogies! I really enjoyed the the first two books, and this was the perfect conclusion. I had them for free through Kindle Unlimited (which I have on and off), but I have also purchased them. I might get paper versions too, if only to support this fantastic author. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
The whole series was amazing, I can't believe I actually finished something XD Mellow's writing is also !!!! Beautifully written.
This book was such an amazing way to complete the series, and I'm glad we got to see the lives of each sister and their journey and adventures with their loved ones.
Arabessa's duties and the burden she has to carry as the oldest, and her determination and selflessness were amazing, and relatable feelings throughout. I'm so happy for her, Arabessa would make a great king, and I love the relationship between her and Zimri.
