Her world is grim. Her allies are divided. Can she be the voice of peace and prevent their utter annihilation?
Bintou Sissoko misses the quiet life of ancient texts. But as the new spokesperson for one of the deadly old gods, the master translator accepts the importance of her skills. So she’s appalled when all the men are mesmerized by a beautiful and fiery goddess making a lethal play for power.
With her warnings falling on deaf ears, Bintou doubles down on researching and cataloging the true intentions of the newly risen deities. But unless she and her kind can work in tandem with their fiercest enemies, humanity could fall to its doom.
Can she help her people put their differences aside in the name of survival?
All's Fae That Ends Fae is the whirlwind third book in the Guardians of PHAE Irish urban fantasy series. If you like sweeping action, war-torn factions, and gritty worlds, then you’ll love Rowan Dillon’s last stand.

4.5! The beginning got me up to speed so yay! Human battle happening AND God war happening. SO MUCH HAPPENING! Really pulls you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I could not put it down until I read it all!
I received this ARC and am leaving this review voluntarily, all thoughts/opinions above are my own.
The alliance with the old gods leaves the PHAE with an uneasy feeling, especially with their interest in military strength and weapons. Their motives are questionable and history indicates caution should be exercised. It is hard to deny the benefits the gods bring and the power they grant to their acolytes is seductive. Reports are coming in about gods from other pantheons surfacing in countries around the world and more violence directed at the Unhidden. Chaos is building, gods are insistent, and the PHAE are struggling to heal and protect the people of Ireland.
Christy Nicholas really delivered with this book! It is well-written, flowing, and enthralling. This is the best book in the series so far. I can’t wait to read the next one. I received an advance copy of the book but my review is honest and voluntary.
All's Fae That Ends Fae: An Irish Contemporary Fantasy Novel (Guardians of the PHAE Book 3), my eleventh read from author Christy Nicholas, co-written with author Rowan Dillon (a pen name). I first heard of this author when I received an email from Green Dragon Press and read An Immigrant's Tale: A Druid's Brooch Prequel Short Story 0.5 (Druid's Brooch Series), one thing lead to another and here I am 11 books later. Well-written with a well-developed primary character, another good read. I received a Kindle edition & “I'm voluntarily reading & leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. Next up, Veiled in Ancient Shadows: A Historical Time Travel Adventure (Toronto Time Agents) due out this Saturday, the latest book in my favorite series from this author. Then I need to get & read A Nixie in the Mist: A Guardians of the PHAE Prequel Short Story to complete this series. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
I thoroughly enjoyed the Guardians of the PHAE series but then, I love anything written by Rowan Dillon. Her sense of the uniqueness of all things Irish lifts the books into a fairy world like no other.
In my personal opinion, you should read all three books in order. Each one builds a layer of the world that is struggling to survive. Each Unhidden character evolves alongside the God they are in thrall to until the situation becomes untenable.
Excellent storytelling by Rowan Dillon, it made me want to go study ancient Celtic gods.
This is the final book in the series, and brings the pieces together. The Unhidden continue to fight those who fear them. It has become a hot war around the globe, with Ireland as the PHAE center. In the midst of the human battle, the ancient gods (in Ireland, and elsewhere around the world) are waging their own war: a 2-front battle over the humans, and amongst their own. Can the Unhidden Tame the gods, and their enemies, or as mankind destined to be enslaved to the whims of the gods?
