Courting Eternity

Courtship Saga #3

by A.R. Kaufer

The Maristellar Kingdom has been under a dark cloud for over a decade. Finally, with their queen in place and a festival approaching, there is something to celebrate and look forward to. Rafe’s apprehension nearly overshadows the joy building up to the festivities. Kara and Evren try to keep spirits high, but secrets are kept, and friendships are tested.

As the festival gets closer, threats are made and enemies revealed. Magic blooms. New creatures bring unexpected chaos. Will everything go without a hitch or is something sinister lurking in the shadows?

COURTING ETERNITY returns us to Rafe and Ana’s world for book three of their epic fantasy saga. Ana makes some new discoveries about powers she holds, and learns more about her past and her mother especially (these were some of my favorite scenes!) But she still has many enemies and attempts against her life are frequent. She and Rafe have a strong connection that grows with every book in the series and even as Ana continues to struggle with her PTSD and anxiety, Rafe is always there to help her, as her support and guidance, and seeing how strong their love is provides moments of joy between the fraught times. Friends Kara Evren are there as always, and as everyone plans for the upcoming Frost Festival, there are fun trips to the market (I loved these) and perhaps even a special new pet for Ana! Flight training presents a challenge, but one knows with friends like Ana has, she’ll get it eventually. I continue to enjoy this series and look forward to book 4. 5/5 stars.

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary ARC copy of this book from the author for review purposes.

Wow the books just keep getting better and better it hardly took me a day to get through this one! I just couldn't put it down. Ana keep adjusting to her role I feel she is starting to come into her own. She is also learning to let down her walls and open up to Rafe and Kara. Be prepared for Ana to get herself into yet more sticky situations but always finding away out. Her growth from book 1 & 2 is amazing. She even gets a new pet( you will just have to read to find out what it is). Bravo to the author her descriptions are so good I feel like I'm in the story. She gives you just enough to keep you coming back for more. I for one can't wait to see what's next!

Whew! There a lot of moving parts to this story. Something is always lurking and ready to jump out at every corner if this was a haunted house. The FMC and MMC are two stubborn individuals but also the most loving. Ana the FMC almost drove me crazy in this book. After finishing I understand why she does what she does. I do love all the twists and turns in the book when it comes to it. It’s like you ask yourself “what’s next?” But the cliffhanger at the end!!!!! That threw me. I was not expecting a cliffie at all…I can’t wait to see what happens in the next one.

Book3!

It was amazing from beginning to end. I suck at the whole review thing without any spoilers so I'll just keep it sweet, truthful and to the point.
The book has me at the edge of my seat and I couldn't get enough of it. I had the honor of being an arc reader for this one and I couldn't read it in the time frame needed but I enjoyed every minute of it!
It helped me escape my reality into their world. The twist and turns - I wasn't expecting! I was so happy with the outcome and can not wait to read the next one!!

Ms. Kaufer continues to test the boundaries between science fiction and fantasy in this series. This is probably my favorite one so far. Ana's character development is outstanding, and watching her finally becoming the queen she is meant to be has been fantastic! Her dynamic with Rafe is such a balance of Ying and Yang, that I really believe it when he says they are made for each other. If you haven't read Courting Fate, go check it out and explore this wonderful series. I see big things for this author in the days to come...

The third installment of the series. I loved finding out more about where the MC came from. The FMC and MMC are both so darn stubborn and made me want to scream at them to commincate. I feel like we see some character development for Ana in this book and I'm excited to see where AR takes her in the next book. Oh, there is a special little surprise that makes the fantasy genre complete in this book too!

[Misty Blackburn]
