Great
It was sad, but good to read about Lincoln’s experience when Bri was taken. Sad , but a very happy ending.

I loved this so hard!! This was incredible and amazing and so just what true fans of this series so needed!! It was absolutely heartbreaking getting into Lincoln's head and heart. I loved how he was lost but found purpose. The back and forth of his emotional pain was so realistic. I knew what was going to happen in the end, but reading his voice and taking the journey with him made me melt and cry and finally feel just so relieved that his misery was ended. I adore Ms. Stone's writing and it always leaves me wishing for more 💗💗💗

“The moment those black wings had sprouted from her back, my heart had fallen in my chest. I knew she’d never be a girl I could pursue. She was demon bound, bad, dark, evil. But she wasn’t. She was the best fucking thing that ever happened to me, and judging her in the beginning was the worst mistake I had ever made. I’d never met someone so full of love and light in my life”

What had I become?
It hit me then that the old Lincoln was truly gone. Even if Brielle was alive, and I got her back, she wouldn’t be returning to the same man.

You think your prepared for this book but let me tell you guys...nothing...and I mean absolutely nothing can prepare you for the ride of pure raw emotions this book will take you on! Its crazy good and written so perfectly. It’s a roller-coaster of emotions for sure but one that is very well crafted.
This book takes you on the journey Lincoln goes through after Brie is taken to hell. You’ll see his agonising POV come to life in this book. Your heart will break and feel everything right along side his and sometimes it’ll be so hard to read through the own raw emotion building in your own chest and throat but you just can’t help but read on because you want to know. You want to see it to the end. You want to get to that moment when you see them back together, both hearts mending each other. That even through all the changes they still love each other so wholeheartedly. There’s nothing more beautiful.
This book although focused on Lincoln does also show you more into the friendships of all our most fav characters. I loved seeing how Shea and Linc worked together refusing to let Brie go. And even his best friend Noah and Raphael standing by his side even when he tries to push everyone aside. I also loved the new addition Catia I just know we are going to see more of her in the future 😊 thank you Catia for being there for our man and helping him through the tough times. He didn’t know at the time that he needed someone to help fill that void of love and family. Can’t wait to see Brie, Shea and Catia together. That’s going to be epic! I can only imagine the trouble they could get into lol. 😆
I would like to just quickly advise that for younger readers this book is quite the emotional, raw read and does contain some more mature content such as self harm and psychological struggles as Linc tries to navigate a world where Brie is not by his side.
Thank you again Leia for such another captivating read! It was perfect being able to see the two sides of what each of our most adored couple suffered through while trying to get back to the other.
I take my hat off to you Leia Stone for all the amazing writing you create!
Anyways that’s all for now my book friends
Happy Readings 🤓❤️

Absolutely loved this POV from Lincoln, and the heartbreaking emotional journey that Leia Stone has written. Year Three And A Half is a wonderful novella and a great addition to the series.
I highly recommend Year Three And A Half, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

This is the novella in the series it seemed unnecessary since it’s the same story from book 3 through just through another characters point of view.

A Dark Journey to Redemption
This story takes place at the same time as Year 3 but follows Lincoln as he and Bri's friends try to come to terms with her apparent death.
Leia takes us down the dark path that Lincoln travels while searching for answers and how to live life after losing the love of his life.
If you've read the other Fallen Academy books then this is a must have for your collection.

Lincoln did not handle Brielle being kidnapped and possibly killed well at all (understandable). To say he went off the deep end is putting it mildly. He put himself and Shea in a ton of dangerous situations. Then when it isn't working, he puts himself in even more dangerous situations.
Eventually, he can't take much more of living without her and goes to San Fran to work the underground slave trade and rescuing women and children that have been stolen. Until that goes belly up. Which perfectly aligns with Brielle and Shea breaking in to bring him out.
Thankfully it all worked out. I'm sure the Leia Stone could have written spin off series for this part of the story alone. Or maybe one for Paris.
Still really loving these series as a whole and now looking forward to how this will all work out.
Also I think one of my favorite parts of the book was the Raph loves these kids so much that he literally gave up everything to help them. I really hope he gets a happy ever after.

When I finished reading the third book I was so upset because I wanted to know what the hell happened to lincoln while she was gone. I was so happy to find out they were making a book just for him.
With that being said, I was slightly disappointed. The storyline was great and it was awesome to see a different world from just Los Angeles and to also get more info about what was going on around the world. However, it all felt too rushed. Nothing was ever explained throughly. It was like reading a summary of his year. I think the author could have elaborated more on him working through the bidding process. There were a lot of things that could have been extended but instead it was quickly scribbled out. This was a big 'ole flop for me. It did not meet my expectations and because of that I was very disappointed.
The only thing im thankful for is that i have KU and was able to read it for free. If I would have paid a single dollar I would be a lot more disappointed. It was too quick of a read and simply just not enough for me but oh well. I guess I'll have to wait until Year 4 comes out.... Whenever that is.

When Brielle disappears to Hell and may not still be alive Lincoln is stuck in Angel City with no direction. Everyone is trying to move on and they even have a funeral for her but he can’t. He can’t accept that she is gone and definitely not that she is dead. He falls in to a pit of despair, and even goes so far as to end his life. When that doesn’t work he makes a life altering decision. He must leave all of his friends and Angel City behind. If he cannot be with the woman he loves then he will put his life on the line to save as many others as he can. The danger level is high and his moral compass will be tested. This is a thrill ride, short and scary! It was fun to find out how he spent the year!

The gripping emotions...I’ve read each book, devoured each story. I knew what had happened but I never expected the fierce emotions that poured from Lincoln. I had tears in my eyes as I read the beginning of this novella. Leia amazes me with her ability to pull us in and become part of the story. Each moment of heartache weighed on my soul. Each step into the darkness allowed the hope to dwindle even when I knew the outcome. Leia is that good.
Once again it’s fantastic. I can’t express how phenomenal she is at creating these magical and impressive stories. Eagerly anticipating the next one!!

This was an awesome read and I honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy it so much. Usually when an author decides to do a mid point story with another character I'm always a bit dubious as I feel it may take me away from the MCs story. However, this book is such a welcome insight into Lincoln's journey and how he coped and dealt with everything whilst he wasn't sure of the fate of Brielle. I feel that the author has really managed to feel this characters grief and despair which on turn I felt whilst reading. I thought that this was a great read and an important part of Brielle's story, as Lincoln plays an important part in it and we needed to see what he went through. Five stars from me.

Loved!
This is Lincolns story from when Brielle was taken. My heart broke so much for him as he lost her and felt like he failed to protect her. He spirals so much as first and after a while decides its time to leave and do something else. I really loved that we got to see his POV for a little bit.

The book we all needed!
While reading the 3rd book I kept finding myself wanting to know Lincoln's thoughts and feelings! I was little too excited to find out that it exists and loved every word of this book. This whole series is amazing and must read! Going to be starting 4th one later this week.

Holy friggin hell. You are going to be absolutely DESTROYED by Lincoln’s story. We get to experience his pain and heart break of everything he’s going through losing Brielle! This boy is dark and tortured. I mean SERIOUSLY TORTURED. I hardcore ugly cried like a little girl reading this. Seeing the relationships with their friends Shea, Noah, and Raphael! They’re some of my absolute favorite secondary characters!
I cannot wait to read book 4. It is going to be incredible and leave me with one outrageous book hangover!
Pick up this novella! Even if you’re not a fan of novellas you should love the in depth, heartbreaking, and seriously breathtaking view into Lincoln!

This book was just as spellbinding as the rest of them. I just couldn't put it down. I loved reading about year three from Lincoln's perspective. Catia was a fun addition to the characters. Overall, a great addition to the series and I can't wait until the next book is out.

I really should have read this before year four 😂

Love it
Oh the emotions. Absolutely love Lincoln. I love how this is from his point of view. You knew it got bad from the previous book but reading it makes it that much more real.

I’m soooo happy that I got to read a few pages from Lincoln’s view! It was short and sweet, and I finally got to see the love for Bri through his eyes.
Beautifully written, all I want is more from him.
This last book is going to be full of action, and I can’t wait!

this one hurts my soul. I loved seeing things from Lincolns POV but oh man did it hurt. Trigger warning in this book.
November 21, 2020
This was a short and ok story. I don't have much to say about this book, I think Lincoln was a little annoying and everything happend too fast, one year in about 100 pages is just no good choice in my opinion. I was hoping to get more information about the little moments we already knew from Bri's story but the moments were almost as short as they were in Bri's POV and I think that could have been made better. It was interesting to read the story from his POV but I think it would have been even more interesting in one of the first two books, because it felt like Lincoln was a completly different person in the third Fallen Academy book which leads to him being a completly different person in this book, too and I liked the old Lincoln more.
May 3, 2022
Well I am a simp for Lincoln so I really liked the novella from his point of view. The only thing that "bothered" me a bit were the allusions to Catia somehow taking up some of the space left by Brie. As much as I loved the friendship between the two, that was inappropriate in my opinion, given how much he suffered from Brie's loss

This book was good. It was smart that she put a trigger warning in it. I think other authors should. I know that with some books you can get those details from reviews but it was nice that the author put it there incase someone needs it.
But I did fine a couple things confusing. Like the talk about the sister schools around the world. How can they be a secret? I mean the ceremonies they do to release peoples ability the demons know about those too so how can they have hidden schools and how do they only have like 5 schools. There are millions of people. I’m just confused are there mostly humans out there? Because now I’m picturing the war and they came down from heaven but they came to one place and it seems like the one place would be LA. And that’s where the humans got struck with some gift from a demon or angel. So only this area is affected but then at times in other books it sounds like the whole worlds affected. Which I could see them being overrun by demons and the Fallen Army has to go out fight them. And they have those secret schools around the world so they can train without demon interference or whatever but I feel a few holes still happening.
Also, Lincoln mentions that they didn’t really speak about their time apart but in book 3 Bri tells him on there way back to Angel City what happened to her so…

This book was a fantastic listen (well, audiobook), and it felt much more polished and better written than the previous installments. For the first time, I really felt a depth of character that had been missing before.
Unfortunately, I accidentally skipped book 3 — I thought this was book 3, and went straight into the finale. That left me completely confused about the whole "year in hell," which seemed to be brushed past as if it never happened. I honestly thought the author had skipped it on purpose until I realized my mistake!
That said, this was still one of the strongest books in the series. However, as is often the case with this author, the pacing felt rushed, especially when it came to interesting plot points and tangents. I wanted so much more exploration of life for the human slaves, and especially his experience as a freedom-fighter. It was disappointing that, after such a beautifully written and emotionally raw beginning (his despair over losing his wife was genuinely moving), the story abruptly shifted gears and moved on without fully developing the more compelling aspects.
Side note: I think I enjoyed this book even more because of the male narrator, his voice was excellent. In contrast, I find Brielle’s narrator really hard to listen to, which definitely affects my engagement with those books.
