A Harmony of Hearts

I love Amy's books - and this one does not disappoint.the spell wrapped around Elaria's soul is tightening it's hold - it is burning hotter and she has been giving a strict time limit within to find another love to feed the spell to keep both herself and the spell alive.Her Love for Torin hasn't faded - but he's being a dick - and the others are supporting her as best they can - so seeking help from a friend and witch - a spell is cast to draw a soul mate towards Elaria to hopefully help her find her the love she needs.at the same time - magical attacks are happening in the world designed to harm the people Elaria holds dear - friends and family are not safe - and it is taking all of Elaria's skill to save them and find the culprit.I love the book - the twists and turns but Torin is a DICK - the new love is a DICK for quite a bit - but there is a lot of humor (one of the reasons I love Amy's writing, she always brings the humor)

I love this series sooo damn much ❣️❣️❣️❣️The only thing that I truly hated was that this story had to end, I know Amy (Ms. Sumida) couldn't go forever but as usual I wasn't it to stop.... Thankfully we already know there will be more ;)I'm very excited to see what the Primeval forest will be like...Not wanting a seriously good story to end (even for a moment) was kinda a minor niggle,my main one was Torin...Torin was soo WTH?!?!For me in this book,now I sooo HATED El breaking up, (it really hurt my feelings) for me they were everything you wanted in a couple)( they were on a very short list of my all time favorite couples)( Rowan and Clive are on top from goddess w/a blade)( they are one those rare couples that are soo delicious together are you need is to have them on the same page it doesn't matter what they are doing as long as they are together) but sorry I digress, anyway I asked Ms. Sumida about it,because I'd lovedTorin and El together soo much and while she was kind enough to reassure me they'd find they way back together ,it was NOT going to be an easy road...Well, she sure did NOT lie to me... Not. At. All !!!But Torin was such a dang D-bag after a while I honestly wasn't sure I wanted them back together...Seriously Torin was beyond a jerk in this and after everyone and his Mother and everyone in between told him and assured him the what happened w/El was NOT in her control and sass NOT done to hurt him , he still acted like a spoiled and angry child even when he knew what was doing was not only hurting her but could possibly kill her... he seriously needed a good reality checkPreferably upside the head,by Elaria of course...Spoiler 🚨They are back together,but I've already eluded to that haven't I,What bothers me the most how easy they came together when he finally got a clue...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, No. Now I completely get how badly you can want someone back,especially someone you love like El does Torin but he did some major damage to her trust at the very least and he might still have her heart ? But he should have to work to regain her trust and true respect after all he did, to do anything else to be honest kinda makes our h look like a bit of a doormat when we all know she's not...But Declan and Banning ? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww LOVE them !!!!Those two have been soo patient and loving and fun and amazing!!!Not sure if I personally want Torin for my RH any more but I want those two soo bad, El has something really special w/them, I tell ya..Speaking of special I wanted to smack him at 1st as well but I came to love Gage the Griffin ;)Lol, Gage the Griffin , Amy are you into comic books ? Because according to what I've seen on Big Bang Theory, isn't that the kinda name Stan Lee would give a character ?? Cue me giggling ;)Any way even though I felt Torin deserved a damn good spanking or two and a good does of sense common or otherwise , I soo loved this book and I can't wait for more❣️❣️❣️❣️

Once again, I am blown away by Amy's talent for, not just writing, but also incorporating music and lyrics to complete her literary tapestry. I try to stop and listen to the songs I do not know to really understand the spell being woven. There are times where I wonder if the song was not specifically written for the story/spell. The one that had my jaw hanging was Legendary. This blending of story and lyrics sets Amy on a higher level along with those authors that take the time and hone their imaginations to create a language for their story. Now, while we see our main(?) plot come to a relative conclusion, we have yet more to this saga than we thought. Amy keeps us on the edge of our seats as she throws some new elements into the mix to draw us into the next segment of this epic tale. I am looking forward to spring!

The author obviously is a talented writer. However, she really rushes through some of the scenes in this novel. It's sort of a less good version of the first book. I especially did not like the leading male character in this one. And at this point the orgy scenes are just grossing me out. This is the last one I'm reading in the series.

*squeal* A Griffian ❤ I'm so excited El has found so much love and I absolutely love where Amy is moving with the story.I like how the next book picks up right where the last one ended and they all flow so nicely.World and character build are great.Torin has redeemed himself, but I would have made him work for it. Maybe just a itty bitty bit of groveling 🤔
