Book 4 of 6: Farbonnur Elves

See all formats and editions

A glass pyramid. A dying goddess. A brother back from the dead. Oh, and a true love with amnesia.

Alvarick thought blood mages were the worst of his problems. Now, he's enmeshed in tower intrigue between his brother and his top advisors, all while trying to keep everyone from claiming Velden as their favorite playmate before the prophesied Yule bonding ritual to unite elfkind. Alvarick has two months to convince them true love is more important than magic when battling a blood demon.

Worst of all, Velden has no memory of the last two centuries, let alone the time they've spent together. The key to repairing his memory is the only thing keeping their goddess alive.

There are two ways to complete the bonding ritual. Will the fate of all mortal life rest on a brotherly bond crafted from prophecy instead of love? Or will Alvarick and Velden's true bond be the first stone cast at this glass tower of lies?

Tower of Lies is 93,000 words of m/m romantic fantasy goodness and should be read after Hives of Sorrow and before Tree of Secrets in the Farbonnur Elves series. ToL has a happily ever after ending for our main fated mates pairing, but happy for now overall. It introduces a bratty king and his sassy but sweet fated mate. ToL also has found and real family, brotherly hate/love, a pyramid full of powerful yet clueless jerks, a newborn queen, sunshine/grumpy banter between fated mates, and more ritual spice than a Yule fruitcake.

This fantasy series contains scenes that may depict, mention, or discuss fantasy violence, including assault, blood, death, decapitation, magic and the occult, murder, skeletons/zombies/ghouls, terrorism, torture, violence, and war. Tower of Lies mentions/discusses past physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. For full content warnings, see the author's website: https://www.ediemontreux.com/warnings

Great series

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2022

This is such a great series! It’s well written, imaginative and the world building is incredible. I’m looking forward to book five!

I'm starting to have a love/hate relationship with this series. Well hate is too strong of word but I definitely have moments of frustration with it. This one mostly focuses on Alvarick trying to get Davri to see that love is better than power and dealing with Velden's memory loss. I thought Davri's POV was interesting and while I understand how what he went through made him who he was, he still had made a lot of bad choices. Some of his choices were because of Gerlix but not all. I found him redeemed by the end of the book. And honestly, Velden is probably my biggest source of frustration. He's not a bad character but I just wish he had a little more hope. I am hoping Faraki's true bond is right around the corner or I might lose my mind. I also hope that the next books can focus more on this final battle with Hurouth and less on all the Celastes drama. I don't need any of that information repeated to me again for a fifth time.

While I was pretty harsh in previous reviews, I think the world building makes up for the angst. Bonus points for slow reveal about the world, rather than an infodump prologue (gotta work to piece together stuff, highlights include: gay immortal elves, magic armor forged from magic metal, dragon goddess, a demon trapped in the world of dreams).

Granted, half of this book was still “I’m unworthy of you” moping, in spite of your literal goddess telling you love trumps power.

The other parts are sibling rivalry, and slow reformation of a former spoiled brat (with his own brand of trauma). Not total reform (still an arsejack), but enough to let down his guard.

While I’m all about the m/m, I do wonder where the female and nonbinary elves go, are there towers where they can be all powerful and immortal, or is magic just sexist like that? Shapeshifting is possible with enough magic, is the goddess really female, or is she a shapeshifting male with an unlimited well of power to fuel her shift?

I am one of those people who hates spoilers, so I am going to limit my review to be somewhat nonspecific. What I will say (and I don't consider it a spoiler as it's in the book description) is that Alvarick and Veldani finally get their HEA! It's not quick or easy, as they still face the prejudices, intrigue, and subterfuge of the tower and its elves. To make it harder and more complicated, Veldan has amnesia and doesn't remember his time with Alvarick or their true bond. How will Alvarick defeat the prophecy and secure his true love? What about his brother? Yeah, as I said, it won't be easy. And this isn't the end. Alvarick and Veldan may get their HEA, but the blood demon and his blood mages are still out there and the world is still at risk. I loved this continuation of the story, and I can't wait for the next book, which I believe will carry on with Faraki's pursuit of his bonded mate.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

A fantastic journey continues

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022

The journey continues for Veldani, Alvarick and their friends. We meet more of the side characters that we have heard about in the books previously.
I don’t want to give too much away. I feel like a lot happened in the last 25% of this book that will really set us up for the next book. I am so happy that life is going to be more peaceful for the elves in this tower going forward and that some of our side characters will soon have their own happily ever afters.

Veldani and Alvarick get their happily ever after and I’m so glad that Al was more stubborn than Denny.

*I beta read and received an ARC copy of this book but this is my true and honest review.

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2022

Tower of Lies was phenomenal! I seriously adore this series. Tower of Lies is the fourth story in the Farbonnur Elves Book series. It really should be read in order. Alvarick and Velden’s story continues. Velden has no memory of the last two hundred years. Alvarick must convince Velden they are true mates. There are some fantastic secondary, new characters we meet in Tower of Lies. Overall, a fantastic read! Well written with pacing that just flows. It sucked me in right from the beginning and didn’t let go. Highly recommend.
