Synopsis:
Within the world of Aadilor sits the hidden Thief Kingdom, a land overflowing with magic and mayhem. There the Mousai, a trio of deadly sorceresses, serve the reclusive Thief King, delivering punishment and pleasure to the masses.
Arabessa Bassette is the leader of the Mousai, conducting their powerful gifts with unyielding precision. But behind her mask of control burns a desire to forge her own path—along with a tumultuous relationship with Zimri D’Enieu, her father’s right hand and the man who’s held her heart since they were children. When an unexpected invitation to vie for the Thief King’s throne pulls her into a deadly competition, Arabessa’s composure cracks as she finds herself with an impossible choice—give up her greatest love or her greatest ambition.
But sacrifices loom large in the Thief Kingdom, for the quest for power always comes at a price. With her and Zimri’s future hanging in the balance, Arabessa must decide if she’s willing to pay it.
Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where love is found between cracks and the most mesmerizing symphonies carry lethal notes. Dare to play?
Review & thoughts:
Symphony for a Deadly Throne is a third and final book in the Mousai series. It is a series about three sisters with beautiful but dangerous powers and after loving the first two books I couldn’t wait for Arabessa’s story and it definitely didn’t disappoint!
While Symphony for a Deadly Throne is the third book in a trilogy, it can be read as a standalone. Our main character is Arabessa, the oldest sister and the leader of the Mousai. She has always been the most responsible one and had many duties both to her family and the Thief Kingdom. When an opportunity presents itself for her to take part in the competition to be the next Thief King, Arabessa will need to decide what matters to her most - her duties or Zimri, the man she has always loved.
Since the first book in this series I couldn’t wait to read Arabessa and Zimri’s story and OMG it’s so good! I really liked their childhood friends to lovers romance and hoped they would find a way to be together despite all the troubles they faced and the hard decisions they had to make. I really liked the plot with Arabessa competing for the throne, I honestly didn’t think this book would go in that direction and I’m so happy it did. This world is as always really interesting, I loved seeing the Thief Kingdom from Arabessa’s POV and Zimri’s POV made things even more interesting, we learn so many new things and I feel like there as still so many things we don’t know, I would love it if the author decided to write more books in this amazing world.
I really enjoyed Symphony for a Deadly Throne and all books in the Mousai series. The ending was a little bitter sweet but I loved it and can’t wait for more books from E.J. Mellow!
