*ARC received from the author, in exchange for an honest review* 
 Let's start by saying that the first two books were plain and straightforward five stars, but I'll give this one a solid 4. The Queen Of All That Lives was a beautiful read and ended off with a bang but I was just a tad bit disappointed because I expect something different throughout the novel and at the end but that doesn't mean I wasn't satisfied with what I received! I was happy that in this book they started from where we left out so we didn't have to wonder if anything happened between times but starting this novel all I was waiting/excited for was for the moment Montes and Serenity would see one another again. I was extremely happy that we didn't have to wait for a couple of chapters for that but that I got what I wanted right away! 
 "And with every blow, I wait for that flood of relief to come. I'm meting out my revenge. But this doesn't feel like revenge. The king keeps taking the hits, and he doesn't raise a hand against them, not even to protect himself. 
 "Fight back, you bastard," I growl. 
 He laughs, and those white, white teeth of his are now stained red with his blood. 
 My husband is insane. We both are. 
 Finally, his arms come up, but only so they can encircle me. He pulls my body flush against his. 
 "God, I fucking missed you, Serenity." 
 And then he kisses me." 
 Over the hundred years, a lot has changed, and a lot needed to be fixed. Serenity continues to be the badass that we love but in our surprises, she's become softer (which she hates by the way). Our beloved Montes isn't the heartless man we once thought he was anymore. He's changed and became the person Serenity hoped for him to be a hundred years ago which alters the world to be different. They're both the same people, so don't think all their little quirks are gone but over time they both developed to have some traits reverse within one another. 
 "He reaches up, as if to touch my face. "Don't, Montes, unless you want to lose that hand." 
 His entire face comes alive at my words. 
 "You haven't changed at all." He says this wondrously. He always did like the broken things inside me. His hand is still poised. 
 "Don't," I repeat, raising my eyebrows to emphasize my point. 
 "Can't I touch my wife?" He said those words once before, and this time around they level my heart. Even after all these years, he remembers them. 
 "What are you doing, Montes?" I ask. Is it not enough for him to destroy my life? 
 "Winning you back," he says. 
 And then, despite all my warnings, he lays his hand against my cheek." 
 This story will show you love, loyalty, plots, twist, and a lot of surprises. Montes and Serenity together just equal pure kick ass of a time! One thing that I will give Laura Thalassa is that if she isn't giving you cliffhangers, she's giving you mini anxiety attacks throughout her novel. 
 "I remember the call I got when they found her. All those dead men. She'd been untouched. That's what happens when you corner my wife. That's what happens when you throw her into the fray. I'm an idiot for trying to protect her this whole time. She was never the one who needed protecting. Everyone else was." 
 P.S. The book is in the King's POV as well as with Serenity!! (LOVEDDD reading from his POV) 
 It's sad actually to accept that this series has come to an end. I know it's time to let go, but I'm sad that it's came so soon considering I read through this series like there was no tomorrow. Take my word for it but this series will stick with you till the end of the time. I will genuinely miss Serenity and Montes. 
 Goodbye, my King & Queen. 
 4 'fist thump over my heart' stars!
