The world may be on the brink of ending but the survivors carry on.

Arwen and Jenny were tortured for years by the necromancers who were trying to steal their magic. Even though they didn’t succeed, the emotional scars and physical scars remain. Now after months in Sanctuary, Jenny still isn’t better and remains unconscious. And then there is a vast improvement on the same day the raiding party brings two more survivors in. And now after months of working closely with River, she has strong feelings for him. Are these changes just coincidence or are they related. Has she found her mates?

Great 3rd book in this series, improvement from book 2 😊

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2020

I hope book 4 comes to audio soon, I need to know how this series ends!! I liked Arwen and her harem a lot more than I did the previous book (about as much or even more than Rhianna’s haha). I was invested far faster in this book, I think mainly because of River and how Arwen had reoccurring feelings and worries but it wasnt overbearing or anything. I knew what was happening with her harem mates, and I loved some of the reveals haha. I hope we get some more cameos in book 4 because I want to know how they got on after the ending of this one. I am glad Arwen got over her issues (or at least enough to get her mates help) and that she had her moments with each of harem members, some of them adorable while others definitely got me hot and bothered (dang slow burn/low heat/FTB moments haha). I thought this storyline came back stronger after book 2 and the way the overarching storyline is developing, I am super excited to see what happens in Izzy’s story ❤️

The narration was pretty good, not a lot of issues for me. I think the main thing, like the last book still applies. Like hearing Perry and Rhianna have accents after they didnt was kinda shocking/hit to the face. I with it had been consistent with each book honestly. I think that it was hard to tell the different guys in this one sometimes, especially with the other harem’s guys in the same scene. That would be my only critique, room for improvement. Overall good job!

Three and a half stars

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2019

Three and a half. Third in the series, this one was a little flat compared to the others. There was more action in them. Arwen was more difficult to relate to as were her mates. It continues the post apocalyptic world from the first two books. While not necessary to read the previous books, it makes some things a little more understandable. Not a bad read but not anything special.
I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This is another great book in the Blessed series. I love all the characters. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2019

Rescued by Rhianna and her wolves after being held and experimented on for years, Arwen is now at Sanctuary. She hasn't had time to settle in much because she spends her days watching over Jenny, her unconscious friend from the facility. The only person she has really gotten to know is Sanctuary's handsome almost-doctor. When a raiding party returns with a new scout and another injured man, Arwen suddenly feels the mating bond everyone dreams of. However, she doesn't just feel it towards one person but four.

I love the Blessed series. Each book could be read as a complete standalone but they are so much better as a series. Each is a building block that should all come together in the final book. This was not my favorite of the series. I liked the harem, especially River. I did not find Arwen a sympathetic character. I tried to take her PTSD into account but I still had a hard time with her personality. Granted she was traumatized and that explained her negative reactions toward necromancers. While I didn't like her generalized feelings I could understand that. It was her reaction to her mates that I had more difficulty with. She was too wishy-washy, too hesitant to embrace her mates. Too hesitant to embrace her life. I think I would have enjoyed the book more if it had continued once she loosened up. I would have liked to spend more time with her and her mates. I felt cheated. The ending had an interesting twist and I do look forward to the next addition.

Arwen hit the jackpot when it comes to her mates.

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019

I loved being back in Sanctuary. Learning how to survive in this new devastated world is bad enough without being tortured day in and day out. That is what Arwen is trying to do. Regain her life. Having been rescued still it's hard to trust in people. Especially the species responsible for her torment. She needs to learn how to do this and finding her mates wasn't even on her radar, but here they are. This is wonderful and I love that more characters from Fated Seasons are being found. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.

Healing after a Difficult Past

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2019

Arwen is now at the Sanctuary after being rescued, but rather than simply rest and heal, she is concerned about her friend Jenny and sees to her care along with near-doctor River. Soon, another group arrives with an injured person. Arwen discovers that she has a mate bond with four of these people.

Arwen is a troubled character who has put up some walls to protect herself after all that she's been through. She can come off is either acerbic or wishy-washy. She definitely has a hard time trusting, so when this multiple mate bond comes into her awareness, she struggles with it. I think the author did a good job portraying how a person must let go and change to trust again. I absolutely adored River in this book. He is compassionate and loving but pushes Arwen in many ways, including taking better care of herself and helping her to realize the better person that she can be. Beautifully done!

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Lovely story

Elf Blessed is the third book in the Blessed series. This book follows Arwen’s story as she adjusts to life Sanctuary after being rescued by Rhiannon (see Wolf Blessed).

The introduction of all of her mates is a nice build up, as well as some unexpected matching as the aren’t all Elves like Arwen. Also both Rhiannon and Perry still in the series as secondary characters.

Loved the Blessed series from Laura Greenwood and I highly recommend reading these books.

I’m looking forward to reading the final book in the series Frost Blessed, which has been perfectly set up at then end of Elf Blessed.
