A Vicious Game (The Halfling Saga)

The thrilling third entry in the high fantasy saga that started with BookTok sensation A Broken Blade.

"It seems fate has dealt me the same hand again. I know how to play it."

A new king is on the throne and the rebellion lies in ruins. Keera spends her days drinking and her nights avoiding the strange dreams that have haunted her since she returned from the capital.

Keera's family in Myrelinth won't let her go without a fight. With new intelligence about the magical seals left behind by Keera's ancient kin, the Light Fae, she rallies to face her demons and unleash the formidable powers she inherited from her people. But a shocking truth is hiding in plain sight, one with the power to unravel the entire rebellion...

The pivotal third installment in the Halfling Saga will upend everything Keera thought she knew about her enemies . . . and her allies.

The third entry in the Halfling Saga, the epic tale of a deadly assassin with a mysterious past, set in a lush fantasy world of Mortals, Elves, Halflings, and Fae, A Vicious Game is perfect for readers who enjoyed the A Court of Thorns and Roses series and other romantic fantasy books, especially those seeking LGBTQ+ romance or BIPOC representation.

I’ve enjoyed this series, the beginning and ends of the books are what keep me going. The middles just seem to drag on and on. But I do like the series. The only thing I hate most is that the bad ass characters seem to forget all their training and abilities as the series continues. The shadow was so intense and now feels like a fuzzy bunny.
I will finish the series but I hope it ends with more of a punch.

Overall, great romantasy. I loved that Keera continued to be an imperfect and flawed FMC. The relationships between the found family continued to strengthen and I enjoyed learning more about the magic.
I was completely blindsided with the plot twist. And I honestly do not know how I feel about it.

I am really enjoying this series so far and can't wait to dive into the final book. I feel like the first two had the right amount of suspense and mystery to them, and they both ended on good cliffhangers. This one, though, I was put through the ringer emotionally and felt more from this one than I did the others. The twist at the end, I never would have guessed. Definitely ready for the last one!

Those TWISTS!!! Wow, this book just reminds me why I love fantasy so much. All the rules can change, that ending was completely unpredictable! I'm pleased that my suspicious regarding one of the main characters was valid, but I had no idea...

I'm just not sure how I feel about the big Killian/Riven reveal tbh. Like I knew there was something fishy going on there but wasn't expecting that and can't tell if it feels like a cop out. Otherwise great addition to the series!
