When you open this book, the adventure starts immediately and it never stops. I can’t even say it stops when the book ends because you’re on the edge of your seat waiting for the next.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’re heart will break for Lyric at times but at others you’ll see how strong she truly is even though she thinks otherwise.
You need to read the first two before you read this one and if you don’t like cliff hangers, I would wait for the next one to come out first.
A modern classic.
From Spirit and Binding is the third book in this series. It’s not a stand-alone in any way and to understand what’s going on you really have to read the previous books. I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll just say this was exactly what I was waiting for in this series and I loved every minute of it. This isn’t what I typically read but this series has made me consider reading more like it. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Coming off the intense battle where they lost so much, Lyric and those closest to her take stock in what comes next. Easton being taken by the mysterious dark smoke has left her more troubled, is he dead? what exactly happened to him? if he is alive, where is he?
Lyric now wields 4 of the 5 elements none of which she feels proficient at, she always feels like she is leaps and bounds behind everyone. Struggling with self doubt seems to be her biggest obstacle, never mind her soulmate said he doesn’t and can never love her just makes it all worse. A curse he said…he was cursed to never feel or give love.
Its time for Lyric to unlock the element, spirit, but what will be the cost? They have paid dearly already and the thought of loosing anymore fills her with dread. Its time to travel to the spirit territory and find the 2nd half of the prophecy only then can they move forward with their plan to save the Maison Realm. The crystals are dying and she knows that she needs to save them in order to save the realm but to do that she needs to get them in the same space, a feet that seems impossible.
The one behind the curtain, pulling the strings is revealed in this book and its quite surprising at what transpires for the resistance to come out ahead. Big sacrifices are made and additional loss for all.
This is book 3 in the Elements of Five series and it absolutely must be read in order or you will be lost as to what is happening! This one picks up right where we left on in the last one. Lyric is really starting to come into her powers and realizing what the prophecy means to her and her path. There is the action and adventure element to this book just like in previous one but there is also an emotional element that I don’t think I was expecting but I truly loved! There are a lot of twists and turns that keep you involved. Things are finally starting to come together and some questions are being answered while others are now popping up for me and making me wonder about the next installment! The writing is fantastic as it always is with this author! Now I am impatient for the next one so I can see what happens next!
I don’t read YA often, but Lyric makes it sooo worth it! Love the progression her character has shown, making me want to gather her up in my arms at her pain but then rally behind her as she stands on her own two feet, stronger than she ever knew. This picks up right where book 2 ended, and answers some questions while asking more for book 4, which was perfect to keep me flipping pages and wanting the next installment asap. The adventure, angst, and world building in this is truly CAR signature awesomeness.
Fantastic.
Cant wait to finish the series

From Spirit and Binding
In the third installment of the “Elements of Five” series, “From Spirit and Binding continues where “From Flame and Ash” left off. Reading about the continuing journey of Lyric is addictive. Carrie Ann Ryan has done an awesome job of world building. As we start with the loss of Easton and Rhodes, we watch Lyric continue to grow in her powers and as a person. The characters and their roles continue to evolve as well. This book is a roller coaster of turns and twists. I’m excited to see what happens in the next book, “From Shadows and Silence”, now I just have to wait until March!!
These books are great. The story keeps building and I really can’t wait to read the next one. Lyric is a character that I enjoy reading about and Carrie Ann Ryan has created a magnificent world. I’m already eagerly awaiting the next book in this series.
This is an action packed read full of magic and adventure. The end of the last book leaves You in suspense and Lyric wondering what to do next. With this book things are finally starting to make sense and sort themselves out but not fully. Such an amazing read I can’t wait for the next book!
5 PHENOMENAL STARS!! This journey was exactly what I wanted. I was looking forward to this book and I was captivated as with all of this series. This is a different genre for me, but I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone. If you haven’t started this series you must do it now.
Oh My Goodness! This series just keeps getting better and better. Lyric is trying to save the realm but things keep getting in her way. Losing two of her close friends she feels lost. But knows she must carry on. This book is so amazing. I couldn’t stop reading. I love all of the close friends that fight with Lyric. Love how they are all trying to help her and make her stronger. I loved Easton and how much he wanted to love her but with the curse he just couldn’t. This book has so many twists and turns that is keeps you hooked. But the end, oh man, I can’t wait for the next book. I have to know what happened to Lyric. Fantastic book by a fantastic author.
Going into the world of this author’s again in this series. The elements are interesting to begin with so this series makes them personal. Healing will be part of this one. You have to continue on though so the energy is there. It will also be about finding the way Lyric has alot of depth. That comes from the growth that has come about so far. She is not the only one that gets the emotions us readers absorb them also. Backbone for sure included in this one. The flow is one like a gentle river which is a bit different and enjoyed.
3.5 Stars
Carrie Ann Ryan continues her Elements of Five series with the latest release From Spirit and Binding.
Picking up where book two, From Flame and Ash, leaves off at a jaw dropping moment. Lyric continues to grow in her abilities while following the path of the prophecy that has been laid out before her. Many questions are answered but those answers come at a high and steep price. 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.
Ms. Ryan is giving fans a truly epic adventure of a read with From Spirit and Binding. Twists and surprises are everywhere leading Lyric through a crazy emotional and physical ride. 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 3 of the Elements of Five series by Carrie Ann Ryan. It’s an absolute must that you read these stories in order or you will be very confused. This series is filled to the brim with action, adventure, suspense, intrigue, betrayals and a touch of romance. At my age, I tend to avoid YA/NA type stories but this series has kept me on the edge of my seat from Page 1. I have 3 words for Ms. Ryan, “must write faster!”
I am loving this series and on the edge of my seat whilst reading.
Carrie Ann Ryan has done an amazing job weaving this world. There is so much happening that you will be completely hooked from beginning to end. The way the characters have grown as this series has gone on has been amazing to watch. To see Lyric come from a normal human to this kick-as* Spirit Princess is a sight to behold! Considering what she has gone through how she is so strong I don’t know but she is resilient.
From Flame and Ash ended on a WTF cliffhanger so i was excited/nervous to see what would happen next. The fight is majorly on this time an as some parts are revealed more questions are raised so i honestly can’t wait for the next book in this series and can feel a complete series re-read coming on when it does.
ARC received in exchange for an honest review from the Author and Give me Books PR
What a ride! I am loving this series. From Spirit and Binding is book 3 in the Elements of Five Series and continues where From Flame and Ash left off.
