I don't think it's a spoiler to tell you that Honor was saved. I mean it would be kind of weird for the MC to end up as a splattered pancake on the floor considering there are a couple more books in the series. Now they're on the run because they don't know who actually saw that she is still alive. Arren and Talisyn are trying to figure out what's going on and meeting with their fathers, as expected, the meeting didn't go too well and Talisyn hasn't been the same since. Fortunately, all young royals finally know the truth about Honor impersonating Lucien and as Talisyn predicted, they regret what they did to her as Lucien. Damyn advises her to not forgive them so quickly for everything they did, but he knew who she was from the beginning. To make matters worse, they have to keep fleeing because the Old Ones now know Honor is still alive. Morrick helps them and they flee across the sea to the Grey Kingdom, where all sorts of adventures and unexpected surprises await them. Sacred Honor picks up directly where Dangerous Honor left off. Book 3 of the Dragon Royals series is well written, we finally learn more about Honour's past and who she really is, even if we already had a few suspicions. The writing is good, the story is exciting and, slowly but surely, Honor is winning over the other men. However, there's not quite as much humour and fun in it anymore, I don't know why, but it took me much longer to read this book, whereas I literally inhaled the first two. I somehow had the feeling that this was a filler book that was just building up the tension for the grand finale. Towards the end of the third book, you wonder whether a grand finale is even possible, only to get a mega cliffhanger that almost broke my heart. What I didn't like was Caldren's personal development, I feel like he grew so much in the first book and there was hope for Caldren and Jaik reconciling at the beginning of this book, but the way he behaved in the end of the book disappointed me as he seemed a bit cold towards all but Honor. Also, he basically stole from her, even though she intended to finance the war with her gold, he had no right to just take it and she just didn't even react on the fact. This whole situation was just weird. Fortunately, book 3 has far fewer mistakes than book 2, but one mistake that really irritated me at the beginning, and that runs through the whole book, is the spelling of a name that has suddenly changed. Whereas the assassin was called Faleen in book 2, she is now called Feleen with an E. With such big mistakes, which also occurred in book 2 Dangerous Honour, I just wonder whether no test reader/proofreader really noticed, let alone the author herself? How can that be? We're no longer just talking about minor spelling mistakes here, that must be noticeable when you read over it again. What I personally also found a bit confusing and here comes a little spoiler alert: Honor as Lucien is in the dungeon together with her stepmother Alis (whose name in book 2 and I think also in book 1 didn't have a constant spelling and changed between Alice with a C and Alis with an S and without an E) who tells Honor in book 2 that she is her mother, because her parents didn't want others to know about Honor, so she carried her to term and is her biological mother. She also told her her real name: Elora. With Alis' death in book 2, which happened shortly after this conversation, it simply never came up again. In book 3, she learns more about her origins, but neither Alis' nor her name plays a role. Was that just a lie? Has the author forgotten this scene? I was hoping that this will come up in a later book of the series, but having read the whole series, I know, that the fact was just swept under the carpet. Overall, I'd still very strongly recommend the book, it is well written and throughout the series their world is slowly building up, we experience characters' growth and dive into all these mysteries that are slowly being solved. Even though the book was a tougher read (to get through) for me personally, the whole series is beautifully written, with enough world building and interesting characters. In particular I loved Honor's development and what a strong woman she is becoming.
