From Shadow and Silence is the last book in this series by Carrie Ann Ryan, and it’s a great one. I’ve been waiting for this one for a while and it had everything. This is not a stand-alone. I highly recommend this series.
Love this series
Lyric and Easton grabbed my heart intense emotional broken heartstopping
all the feels
love how everything comes together
exciting conclusion
This is book 4, and the last book, in the Elements of Five series. I would absolutely read the previous books before reading this one as they all lead into this final book! Ok So I don’t want to say a lot because I feel like it would be giving a lot of the story away, and I don’t want to ruin it for anyone! I loved how this whole series played out and this book couldn’t have been more perfect! Everything comes around that needed to, all my questions were answered, and I even had my moments where I didn’t think it would work out like I had hoped. But oh, it so did! Lyric, and her group as a whole, are strong characters. And such strong characters with such a great storyline always sucks me in. While I am sad that this series is ending, it definitely made for a great read and took me out of my head when I needed it!
Everything finally comes together in this exciting, action-filled last installment in this breathtaking YA series. I’ve been so curious to see how Lyric and Easton and all their friends—and enemies—would fare once the prophecy came true. I was not disappointed. Wow. The author did a great job throwing in some curveballs and surprising me with some of the plot twists. I love the mix of fantasy, action, and romance elements in this series and the way the characters, main and secondary, grow throughout their (mis)adventures. Lyric has really matured along the way, and I love her and Easton as a couple. I’m hoping this is not the end because I would love to read stories focused on the secondary characters we got to know and love.
This is an excellent end to a great series. I loved every word, everything about this book.
It was a little bittersweet for me, because I loved the characters so much. Lyric and her tribe of friends and her soul mate Easton will be missed.
I was happy to see that The Grey received his just desserts and got what was coming to him.
This was one that was not to be ignored. This is also what many have been waiting for. The war will get finished but will we like who survives? Lyric has a large task. This one is one that will go on no matter what. Battles and alliances what more could there be. Pages did turn that is for sure.Will you cheer at the end or cry and scream ? I can tell I did a bit of both myself but when it came down to it I just sat.
An ending worth the wait! We continue from the last epic ending with Lyric and Braylynn taken by the Gray and their battle to take back the realm. It was fast paced, fascinating and will keep you at the edge of your seat. I loved how the storyline evolved and made a satisfying ending. A must read series for fans of fantasy genre and authors works.
From beginning to end Carrie Ann Ryan keeps readers on the edge of their seats for the climactic conclusion of the Elements of Five Series. Shadow and Silence is a fantastic ending to this fantasy series.
Lyric has grown tremendously over the course of this series and everything she has prepared for comes to this point. Fighting through prophecy, enemies, friendship and love there’s a lot riding on this girl’s shoulders. The pieces of the puzzle are all about to fall in place, as twist interns come out of places we didn’t expect and the enemy is in breathing distance.
I am not a huge fan of young adult series however I do have to give Ms. Ryan credit where credit is due. Lyric is an exceptionally strong character who overcame many obstacles, she thought her destiny. The world building is outstanding. While reading you can almost feel as if you’ve stepped into another world. The characters are definitely what made the story but the setting enhances the telling of the tail in every way. The story is unique and is told in a way that just grabs the readers attention. Ms. Ryan ends this series fantasticall
From shadow and silence
Lyric and Easton
This is not a normal Carrie Ann Ryan romance book. Sure there is a little romance, but it is focused much more on the fantasy part of the book. This book had so many elements of fantasy and supernatural stuff that I’m sure it could get very overwhelming if you aren’t normally a fantasy reader.
The whole book was about defeating The Gray, there were many crazy supernatural beings and great battle scenes that are just out of this world.
Coming together to confront the Gray, new allies and friends join forces and destiny is fulfilled. While this installment of the journey starts with Lyric taken hostage and her mate, Easton’s struggle against needing to get her back versus his responsibilities to take care of his people, that is just the start of this fast paced, action packed gift. I just loved Lyric – her strength of character pulled me in from the beginning. Consistent with any epic this battle between good and evil had no shortage of pain, angst, twists and turns to keep you enthralled through the entire book. Carrie Ann Ryan never disappoints!!
The finale of The Elements of Four series ends the journey of the spirit priestess and her friends. When we last left Lyric she and Braylynn were taken by the Gray. The story picks up immediately after this event, finding us between Lyric’s and Easton’s POV. The story is fast paced as the author quickly reunites the pair and has them battle for the realm. While the group struggles with loss, they work to save all in the realm. The author tied up the loose ends, but I hoped she would have given the readers a glimpse into the future with HEA for all the characters we became involved with in the 4 book series.
WOW what an EPIC conclusion to this series.
If you haven’t read the other books in this series then please do before starting this one as it picks up straight where the last book left off.
Honestly I was 100% hooked from beginning to end and have been eagerly awaiting this final instalment.
As with each book in this series there is so much going on from beginning to end. New alliances made, relationships formed, connections made and broke. Every question you have from throughout is answered and they were the answers you wanted.
I am quite sad to say good bye to this series as Carrie Ann Ryan has done an amazing job weaving this setting for this story, her character development has been flawless.
I can’t wait to see what she brings us next.
If you have not read the other 3 books in the series then please make sure you do. This was a fabulous end to the series. I loved how the details from one book flowed into the next. there was no gap in time from one book to the next. There is a good bit of action in the series. i love that there was so much hope among the group. I’m always a fan when the main characters get their HEA. Never get enough of that in a story.
i have never been a big fantasy book ready this is probably only my second or third series that is fantasy. I am happy to say I was not disappointed at all for taking time and reading this series. Very detailed. Very good storyline.
I am definitely going to have to check out the other series Carrie has written and see what I find.
Omg this final book had me.on the edge of my seat. I absolutely love the storyline and the way Carrie Ann Ryan made this story come to life. All the characters and the main characters I absolutely loved to read and all the twists. I love the ending. Beautifully written. Such a amazing finish to a amazing series.
Words cannot express how excited I had been for this book. This series has quickly become one of my absolute favorites and I was waiting on pins and needles for each to come out. CARRIE ANN DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!
This book was the end of all ends to a series. It was absolutely PERFECT!!!! Between the drama with the Gray, the crystals, budding romances, new alliances, there were so many amazing parts and pieces. It was one big puzzle that was so much fun and satisfying to put together. A lot of endings still leave you with questions, but not this one. We got every question answered, we got the best of the best from every single character. Seriously, NO WORDS!
I have not been this enthralled in a series in a long time, it pulled me out of a HUGE reading slump. Carrie Ann’s writing is so special, and the way she wrote this series was truly magical. You felt like you were in this world right there with them. It had perfect imagery and perfect characters. You can’t ask for more in a YA Fantasy series! I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next
This conclusion book for this series was amazing. So much action. Hardly any breaks from fighting. This is a fast paced book about war, love, friendship and so much Hope! I had a hard time putting this book down. I loved this whole series. Lyric and Easton finally get to be together and bring all their people together. I really wanted to see Rhodes and Wyn find their way to each other. But you never know what will happen when it comes to Carrie Ann Ryan! Amazing series, amazing book!
What a great conclusion to this series. I was surprised at some of the turns in the road and pleasantly surprised with what happened to our favorite characters. I liked what happened to the Gray – he deserved it!. Lyric had her work cut out for her in getting everyone to work together. They knew how to fight toget her but work together. It’s a learning process. Rhoades and Easton were both good leaders and they had to learn not to be at odds with each other. Wait until you see what happens with Braelynn. That was wonderful!! How does Carrie think of these things. Again, I will reread this series often.
This is a good conclusion to the series. If you liked the rest of the series, you will like this.
Fantastic conclusion to the series!!! This is the fourth and final book in the series and I would definitely say that you need to read the previous books before starting this one. They all build off of one another with what is going on. You would be lost without having read the previous ones as certain things wouldn’t make sense without having all the details. We have been following Lyric and her group as she has struggled to find the evil that is permeating the Maison realm and destroying it, to figure out the prophecy that she seems to be the biggest part of, and unlocking her powers and trying to figure out how to use them and become strong enough. This story is written really well. It captivates from beginning to end! I would have loved to have started from book one and read through this all back to back (and will later on) as they are so interconnected and bits and pieces from earlier books all come back and make a difference in what is going on here. This is a complicated story and at the same time, not. We have gotten to see these characters grow and mature into the strong people that they have become, strong enough to do what must be done to save others and the realm. I love the twists and turns and how sacrifice doesn’t always mean what you think. I love how this story shows the different types of rebirth and perseverance and how that pays off. Things might look bleak for our characters at times but it is even more glorious when they hit that pinnacle to come out on top. I love the secondary characters in these story and the banter between all of them. This story closely follows more than just Lyric and her soulmate, Easton, on their journey to save the Maisons. There are plenty of twists and turns within this book as well as twists happening and finishing from previous books. I don’t want to say too many specific details as I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone lol. I love getting to see Lyric and Easton together in this one. We get to see them lean on each other in the midst of everything going on. I love the support group that Lyric has built as she is the catalyst for the group that has come together. I love the characters that come back in this conclusion from her journey in previous books to help battle it out. I know this is the conclusion book for Lyric, Easton, and the realm but I am really really hoping that we will get more set in this world and get to see the other characters that were such a large part of the story get their own happy endings and soulmates. I love this world that Carrie Ann Ryan has created. It is different and well crafted. She did a fantastic job of it and made it feel real and I’m not ready to leave it.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
I really enjoyed this book. A great way to end the series. The whole series was action packed and easy to read. I would recommend reading The Elements of Five series.
