From Shadow and Silence
This story takes place in an interesting world with good characters and plenty of action.
From Shadow and Silence by Carrie Ann Ryan is the fourth and final book in the Elements of Five series and it was full of surprises and had me captivated from start to finish. Narrated by Bailey Carr and Holter Graham, they brought the world of Elements of Five to life. All books do need to be read in order and it is so worth it. With new allies and enemies, our heroes are fighting for what they believe and stand for. I do not want to give to much away, but his was an enthralling paranormal story with a great story and characters. I could imagine this world and what our characters were facing while listening. This was a great ending to an amazing series and one I highly recommend.
Happy listening!
Book 4 in Element of fire by Carrie Ann Ryan
Lyric has been through a lot many battles and lost many friends family.
Lyric and Easten are finally a couple but still have major struggles especially with The Grey trying to destroy and kill everyone.
Absolutely loved this book and even made me cry.
Gutted that this is the last book in series but the conclusion was done so well.
Absolutely loved the audiobook especially Bailey Carr but I won’t lie Holter Graham isn’t a favourite of mine but still loved the book.
My review is written voluntarily after listening to the audio version of this book
At the very beginning of this wonderful series three friends, Lyric, Braelynn and Emory found themselves transported to The Mason Realm, a Realm divided into two Courts ruled by the Queen of Obscurité and the King of Lumière, two Courts who have been at war since The Fall. A war orchestrated by The Grey, an evil force so strong is it even possible to defeat him?
At the end of the last book a battle was fought between Lyric, her mate Easton (King of Obscurité) and all their friends and allies old and new against the King of Lumière and his allies and although many losses were suffered they won. Then Lyric and Braelynn, her familiar and best friend were taken by the Grey to the shadow realm.
The Gray believed he had the upper hand that Lyric was contained but she and Braelynn were stronger than he knew and they managed to get back to their friends and allies and a much relieved Easton. More of the prophecy was made known to Lyric making her believe that they could win the war against the Grey if they found more allies but that in the end, she would die.
Now the Prince of the Lumière, Rhodes and Easton the King of the Obscurité are allies, and together they search for more to join their family/ranks and they set out across both realms looking for more allies and defeating enemies as they go. This journey is not easy and it’s not without loss as they work to unite the whole realm under one banner in order to be able to defeat the Grey. Enemies become friends, and the battle to end all battles is fought.
There is so much more I could tell you but that would involve spoilers and I don’t want to do that, I want you to be on the edge of your seat, as I was on mine, waiting to see what the outcome was going to be. What I will tell you is that this was a wonderful conclusion to this interesting and intriguing story. All our questions were answered and peace was restored to the Mason Real.
As for Lyric, Braelynn and Emory even after everything, their friendship remains strong although none of the girls is as they were before.
The narration of this wonderful series by Bailey Carr and Holter Graham is consistently excellent, each character, and there are many, is easily recognised and the emotion they imbued lifted this excellent story to an even higher level.
Whoa, what an epic showdown, Ms. Ryan has always delivered on an amazing ending and this series was no different. We have waited for a long time to see how this series would end and I was not disappointed with how it all went down. I have loved this series from the beginning and it is bittersweet to see it end but I cannot feel too bad since this was an amazing way to end it.
I’m sorry to see that end has come to this series! The twists that I did not see coming paid off and had me hooked on the story to see what was going to happen next. Where I continue to recommend that the books be read in order, I also promise that you will not be disappointed. Overall this was a great read and series that I would recommend to others.
This is the last book in the series and must be read in order. Lyric has finally understood how to use her wielding with her mates help as well as the other friends she has made along the way on her journey to her destiny.
The journey hasn’t been easy there has been many challenges along the path but it’s helped her grow and become the Spirit Priestess.
Overall, from the start of the series until the end it keeps the reader interested and turning the pages.
Lyric, Easton and their team may have won the battle, but the war is far from over. They have disposed of one adversary in spectacular style however an even more lethal adversary has surfaced and will stop at nothing to ensure their agenda is successful.
In order to protect what they hold dear and ensure the right outcome everyone must put aside their differences as they are so much stronger together than apart.
The storyline is unique and the characters are strong as they battle not only for their happy ever after but for what is right.
I’ve been going through a funk where nothing appeals to me and I don’t want to read which just made me depressed since reading is my go to happy place. I started to read From Shadow and Silence and then my not wanting to read started. It finally dawned on me it was because I didn’t want this series to end and if I read the book it would be over. I finally picked it up again after a good talking too and WOW, it was awesome…From Shadow and Silence was everything I knew it would be and more. From the first page to the last Carrie Ann Ryan’s words grab you and take you on a magical journey. I’m so glad I finally read it and I would definitely recommend the Elements of Five series.
Fantastic conclusion to the series. Although hoping for more about the new Queen
I can’t believe this series is over! It has been a fantastic ride and there were twists I didn’t see coming. These books build on each other, so it is important to have read the previous books. I definitely recommend this book and this series.
This book was everything I wanted for this series and then some! Lyric’s long journey is finally coming to an end and she knows a sacrifice must be made. She knows she must fulfill the prophecy, but she also knows she must see Easton again. Lyric and her friends must pull together like never before, trust those they feared in the past and trust in themselves that they will prevail. This series ends with twists and turns and some surprises you never saw coming! It’s just so good and I don’t want to spoil anything, so you need to read this now!!
Wow! What a great ending to this series. I don’t gravitate to these types of stories normally but I have loved this series! This conclusion to the series will bring tears at times! You have to read it to see if Lyric is able to save her adopted realm!
You seriously don’t want to miss this conclusion to the Elements of Five series. It was everything I had dreamed of and more.
I do suggest that you have tissues nearby because you will cry. Carrie Ann Ryan will tear your heart out but yes, she will put it back together again.
Find out what happens to the Grey. If Lyric really does fulfill the prophecy…or does the worst happen?
You should definitely read them in order and do not skip this one. You won’t regret it.
The conclusion to the series Elements of Five. Lyric, Easton and their friends are gathering troops to help destroy The Gray in order to save the Maison realm. It’s one battle after another and as the final battle nears and Lyric accepts what needs to happen to fulfill the prophecy. Being her soulmate, Easton will stand with her whether they live or die. Is their army strong enough to take down The Gray or will the Maison realm be lost forever.
This is an action packed story of love, friendship and survival.
From Shadow and Silence is a great conclusion to the Elements of Five series by Carrie Ann Ryan. Readers are kept on the edge of their seats until the climatic conclusion. Lyric has grown up through the series with tremendous amount of pressure weighing on her shoulders from the prophecy, enemies, love, and friendship. Twists and turns will reveal secrets. From Shadow and Silence is an amazing story with great characters that will keep the reader on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. Carrie Ann Ryan is a fantastic author and never disappoints. I would highly recommend getting From Shadow and Silence and the other books in the Elements of Five series by Carrie Ann Ryan. I received an ARC of this book, and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
From Shadow and Silence is the exciting conclusion to Carrie Ann Ryan’s Elements of Five series. While most of her stories are standalones, this entire collection is the exception and must be read in order.
I found myself thinking I need to read faster to find out what happens next but then thinking no, nope I need to read slower and savor the story more. There was so much going on in this book. At times I wasn’t sure my heart was going to take it but I persevered and made it through. Excellent story and perfect ending to a great series!
Action packed and epically thrilling adventure filled with dangerous and exciting charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and emotionally thrilling roller-coaster that had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Loved it!
What an emotional (yes, there were tears!) heart stopping ending to a thrilling series. This picks up right where From Spirit and Binding left off, with Lyric taken at the end of a battle and Easton desperate to find her. I’m not going to tell you where she is or any information like that (you need to read to get the full effect, not have me give you a play-by-play). Suffice it to say, secrets are revealed, THINGS HAPPEN, and the major battle is on the horizon. And you don’t know who will make it, who won’t, and truly what will happen. At times it’s gut-wrenching and at time’s heart warming. But in all, a wonderful ending to this series. Well done Carrie Ann
I don’t read YA. But I read Carrie Ann Ryan, so I found myself excitedly reading the conclusion of Lyric’s saga. The journey of these characters through this series is a lesson in growth, perseverance, and sacrifice. Beautifully told, delicately and intentionally woven, and expertly wrapped up.
