What a beautifully magical world Carrie Ann has created in this series. I literally felt as if I was on the most magical rollercoaster ride with earth, water, fire, air and spirit swirling all around helping the side of the good. Loved this book!! And so looking forward to the next one
This one was another great step in the series. I loved how it started right where the last one ended. Lyric and her friends have made it through another battle. Now it’s time to make another step into the process of mastering the 4 elements and recover. Lots of discoveries for the group. Lost friends gained friends. So much going on and seems like more to come. I can’t wait for the next book.
Each book in the series draws the reader in even more. Phenomenally written. It will leave you wanting more and hating the fact that you have to wait for it.
This is the third book in the series and each keeps getting better. In this book Lyric continues to try and manage her elements while unlocking the secrets of the prophecy so she can bring the elements together. Although she feels lost after losing two of her close friends, her other friends try to help her and make her stronger. Once again there are so many twists and turns in this book that keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. Can’t wait for the next one in the series!!!
Wow this series just keeps getting better I don’t know how this will end, but I know it will end in a bang. I feel like I have been reading this series for years but I know it hasn’t been that long it’s just so good it feels that way. Lyric has become my favorite heroine and I cannot wait to see how this ends.

Lyric may not realize the strength she possesses but those around her do. Lyric and her band of allies truly begin to realize the force that they are together. The faith they possess for Lyric is a need bonus that steers her toward her destiny. Those friends and allies are source of support that she didn’t realize she needed and the strength they allow her is something she wouldn’t have without them.

Lyric struggled at times but fate always seems to know when to step in. As this series begins to come to a close, the anticipation for what’s in store Lyric is high and sure to be even more epic in the end.
“From Spirit and Binding” is book three in Carrie Ann Ryan’s ‘The Elements of Five’ series. These books are not standalones and they must be read in order.
Lyric’s journey to become the Spirit Priestess continues on in the book. Lyric alongside her friends experience unexpected losses, new emotional dramas, relationships and bonds grow. This book ends on a cliffhanger but if you’ve read the previous two in the series it shouldn’t come as a surprise. With only one book left in the series, the finale is closing in on Lyric.
Once again Ms Ryan shows off her greatness and the ability to keep readers intrigued and interested in her stories, her characters, worlds and tales have you hooked from the moment you open the book till it’s finished.
I love a good series. This has it all, suspense, action, the fighting, the training, the intense interpersonal moments. It is so emotional! Seeing Lyric grow into her powers is both empowering, and maddening. The third book had everything I was hoping for and more. I loved seeing pieces fall into place from 2 perspectives and watching our favorite characters grow in their powers and friendships. Just like book 2 it left me wanting more, can’t wait for the final book!
Lyric still has a long journey ahead of her and when the book starts Easton is gone and no one knows where he went. She feels like she might not be able to fulfil the prophecy without his help as he helps her keep her power in check. Even with everything that we discover along this journey they continue to get stronger and are willing to do whatever is needed to bring the realms together and save the kingdoms, even with evil forces at work trying to stop them.
After the events that transpired in the previous book in this series Lyric is floundering as she is separated from those who are her closest support system for very different reasons. The most recent conflict has left many of her force grieving and injured however she must put aside her own feelings and lead before more casualties ensue.
With so many twists and surprises you don’t see coming this story takes you on action packed adventure that you won’t be able to put down. The driving force of this installment in the series is how strong and resilient that Lyric has become and leaves us awaiting the next book in the series to see what the future has in store for her.
A fantastic continuation of the story. Plenty of action, and character development. A really enjoyable story.
5 amazing stars! This is the third book in this series and not a stand alone! This book was amazing and I need the next book like yesterday.
I feel totally battered and bruised.. like I walked along side of Lyric. Being forced to follow a prophecy you can’t possibly understand even for those who’ve been living in this world for 100’s of years. To know you will lose allot more than just a battle or two is heartbreaking but Lyric knows in her soul it’s worth the price… she hopes.
Each book bring you more about the characters and Lyric is one of the strongest characters I have read and I can not wait to see what happens next because holy cow the twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat
A gorgeous epic of power and sacrifice… Ryan takes us to a world of dying magic and living secrets, and it’s a world I never want to leave.
After a battle where there great losses, Lyric and her friends and allies must regroup. With Easton disappearing, Lyric is left wondering if he is alive or dead. Lyric wields 4 of the 5 elements but doesn’t feel like she has mastered any of them. Self doubt is one of the biggest obstacles Lyric struggles with. Lyric continues her journey to control and manage her elements. Lyric now must unlock the element, spirit, but she fears what it will cost her. Lyric must travel to the spirit realm and unlock the other half of the prophecy. The one pulling the strings is quite surprising. From Spirit and Binding is full of twists, turns, and revelations that will keep the reader glued to their kindle. I love Carrie Ann Ryan! I would definitely recommend getting From Spirit and Binding and the other books in the Elements of Five series. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.
This series just gets better and better. I am disappointed that there is only one more book after this but at least with paperbacks I get the chance to read them over and over again. The character of Lyric is amazing and this author always seems to be able to describe them all in so much detail. I can’t wait for the fourth book.
Holy, hotter-than-hot chosen one…seriously you guys, this series… Gah. Just freakin’ GAH, especially with this installment of Lyric’s awesome adventures in the Obscurite Realm.
In a word, or maybe a few of them, the world’s gone to sh** and the situation is getting worse by the second. Lyric, barely done with wrapping her brain around her new reality, is still reeling from some serious personal losses, along with her ragtag crew of friends and fighters. Everyone’s dealing with personal dramas on their own level, but also trying to help Lyric develop some kind of control over her element wieldings and get to the place where she can fulfill her ultimate destiny as the Spirit Priestess.
On top of all this, there’s a personal struggle that’s not making anything ANY easier for the poor chick, and my heart just ached along with hers in trying to deal with that dilemma, as well (kind of like it is right now, trying to keep the spoilers from busting out–because believe me, there are a lot of them, and they are juicy and goooodddd….). All of these intricate character arcs are interspersed with a ton of action, fighting, and fast-paced battles that reminded me of all the best reasons I love YA fantasy. A beautiful cast and their dramatic conflicts. A gorgeous and detailed world, complete with insurmountable odds. But most–and best–of all, a brave and admirable heroine who is also beautifully, uniquely human, learning to hang onto the best parts of her humanity while reaching for her extraordinary potential… I was seriously captivated with this part of Lyric’s story, from beginning to end.
It’s an audacious endeavor to create a fresh and unique new YA world, and then to populate it with characters and creatures worthy of following on a quest that will test their bravery and expand their humanity. Ms. Ryan does all of this and more in the Elements of Five, earning her a place at the top of the YA firmament. I cannot EVEN wait for Book 4 to get here!
I absolutely adored this book! It was a fantastic read! I have been waiting for this one to come out since the last book did. It picks up where the last one ended. I highly recommend reading the previous 2 books in this series. They are all very interconnected and things will make more sense if you have read the previous books. There is plenty of action and intrigue in this story. There is a lot going on in this story as you try and figure out what is going on and how everything will come together. It holds you on the edge of your seat throughout the book. We are introduced to a new bad guy that has been pulling strings from behind the curtain for many years. I was pulled in from beginning to end and I didn’t want to leave when the book ended.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
I love how things are starting to fall together. It left me wanting more and i can’t wait for the next installment
