Review: The Rise of the Iliri: Volumes 4-6 by Auryn Hadley

The Rise of the Iliri: Volumes 4-6 The Rise of the Iliri: Volumes 4-6 by Auryn Hadley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Superb Box Set Continuing An Engrossing Series

This isn’t a review of the books in the set, but of the box set as a whole. I’ve already reviewed the individual books and am happy for people to check those reviews out, but wanted to leave a review again after reading this box set, rather than the separate books.

The reviews for each book can be found here:

Inseparable - Book 4
Tenacity - Book 5
Resilience - Book 6

The second time of reading this series has not diminished my enjoyment in any way. This series is one that can be enjoyed over and over again because it is written so well.

The characters are fascinating, the world building is superb and the plot is captivating beyond words. When you start reading this box set, be prepared to want to spend every free moment reading it and be ready for tired eyes come morning.

This volume covers how Sal is treated on her return from her Anglian mission with Jase. There is a lot of ground covered and the plot twists are many, so it’s hard to describe what happens without giving any spoilers. Essentially the volume is about how the treatment of the Anglian humans changes the way Iliri are treated by others and how they view themselves.

There are some tear jerking moments in this volume and it is impossible not to feel for Sal and the rest of her pack, but Iliri are too strong to stay put down for long, no matter how horrific the things they encounter.

As well as all the trauma involved in this box set there is much attention to detail with the way humans respond to challenges and crises and alternatively how another species might handle the same.

Once again, I recommend this series wholeheartedly and wish more people would read it because it is brilliant. I also recommend getting the box sets because I’m pretty sure they save you money. I wouldn’t know because I always read in Kindle Unlimited, but I am really tempted to buy all these books because I know I will re-read them.
