Blue Fairytales #3
Where the Light No Longer Follows
Time no longer exists. At least not to Silene.
Serving under the God of Death as a Reaper, she finds herself stepping between life and death every day, collecting souls and guiding them towards the afterlife. When the brother of Death begins interfering in her duties, she begins to question her existence and purpose.
And the closer she comes to finding her answers, the further her current reality sinks deeper.

About the author
Wendy Heiss
11 books459 followersWendy Heiss is a indie author debuting with a new adult fantasy trilogy, Winter Gods & Serpents, the first book in The Auran Chronicles. She has graduated with a Forensics Science degree in the United Kingdom, but literature has been one of her passions since she could manage to read and write. Despite being severely tempted to ride the Agatha Christie route to crime novels, she chose to follow the Tolkien path to fantasy. She forwent fingerprint powder for ball pen ink inevitably forgoing her parents hope for a good life and becoming what they always feared...a figuratively starving artist, which is why she won't quit her day time job any time soon.
Any whom and how, she likes cats, coffee, particularly that cr*p from instant sachets. Loves, loves when spring doesn't try to give her at least one asthma attack every year and threaten her life. 'Claims' to despise mafia romance from the pits of her gall bladder but will probably end up writing one herself to try and outwrite the greatest line in history: Are you alright, babygirl?
Also, fried sweet potatoes, she can definitely eat some of those without claiming to be allergic to yet another vegetable. On that last note before straying too far from a simple bio, please read her books.

"Come out of the damn house and glare at me, shout at me, come out and throw rocks at me, and tell me every single thing you hate about me, just come out."
I have been putting off this review because I really don't know what to say. It was written beautifully, the dialogues and the prose had me breathless because it was denying any attempt I made to put this book down. It is no surprise that I love the way Wendy writes and the themes discussed in this book were very dark, very deep, almost similar to A little life in a way and it was hard to read so I would recommend that you check it's Trigger Warnings but besides that it was a wonderful experience.
"I quite like it down here. Have come to realise why humans get on their knees to pray. Certain things do look like quite something to behold from here"
Silene I wanted to give her a massive hug because what she went through and how she looked at herself broke my heart. She was a very well written character imo and yk that she's well written when you can feel for the characters in the span of 180 pages. Gabriel, the way he called Silene his ruin, his damnation, his demise was so cute. He was such a flawed character and his relationship with his brother Azriel was depicted so well!! Though both of them are really well written characters, I just did not love them as much as I loved the characters from the previous books.
"I want to give you everything, Silene. Let me give you everything."
The romance, it was the sweetest thing that I have ever read, both had undergone such trauma, dealt with such grief and the way they found peace in each others arms and how they longed to see each other and touch each other when they knew that they couldn't AHH. I just wished we had more time with them.
Overall, another great addition to this series but my least favorite as I had problems with the connection with the characters and the time it took for the romance to progress but it is still a book worthy enough to get four stars! I also can't wait to read the next one!

” have my heart wounded, sick or scarred. In your hands not stolen or gifted but surrendered. Because a half when it met yours, so in the eyes of gods let it become whole again,”
I have no words. Only tears and heartache and a small victory that buket theory was wrong 😌. It was so good. It was so wonderfully and poetically written just like Wendy others novellas. I’m so addicted to them now i don’t know what i will do when she stops writing them 😭
���you would not understand. You will never understand if i told you how my soul has been tied to yours in ways no soul should ever be tied to another’s, for a while i could not understand myself. I couldn’t understand anything at all. I had to make peace with the fact that’s I’d be longing for you forever before I even knew you”
Gabriel and silene are my favorite forbidden/tragic couple so far 🥹 i knew that this was going to hurt but i didn’t expect it to hurt like this 😭 Wendy when i catch you Wendy 🔪 But at least had buket with me so 🫂 ( just ignore the fact that we had been reading this for over a month now)
beautiful
”You’re perfect. How can you fit so perfectly in my hold yet be the only thing I can’t hold onto forever? How can you be made for me so perfectly yet be the one thing I cannot have?”
“Why did you kiss me?”
“Why did you?”
“Because,I finally get to know how it feels to be alive.”
“ if i could steal anything— anything at all, I’d steal just a kiss from your lips”
“Would you stop looking at me?”
“Gods and Fates have tried, and they both have failed to make me do so. But you can give it a try, too, my pretty desolation.”
“I was more afraid of living. It is such a burden we are given. Life is such a burden.To keep living is a burden when you find no meaning in it, to keep watching years go by as you rot away body and soul with the only thing that could hurt you intact all the way through. If I’d lost my mind, it might have been easier. It would have been a kindness, you know, for you to have granted me that at least.”

May 9, 2024I admit I didn't think there would be a book in this 'series' I wouldn't finish. But this is such a sad and depressing book. Don't get me wrong, it's really good and I highlighted the life out of what I read, but like the sadness is on a whole other level.
Also, the TW - Suicide, death, mention of rape, mention of abuse and assault.

Stopping at 27% because I need to space this out or something.

While this may not be my favourite out of the series, I still managed to love this. The way she writes the characters and how she is able to give them so much depth within just 150-200 pages is insane and the romance and build up is also amazing. This one was a little heavy and slow around the edges which made me take my time around this but other than that I loved it.

My heart is so full right now!! Wendy just knows how to deliver short sob worthy stories in such a beautiful way. This will definitely stay with me for a while.
September 9, 2024
"I want to give you everything, Silene. Let me give you everything."
This is my third book I've read by Wendy Heiss (it's the third in the blue fairytale series) and it still never fails to shock me how much I love Wendy's writing. All of the books are novellas and are all less than 200 pages, yet she makes me more attached to all of the characters than a 500+ page book can. Also, I have no idea how Wendy never fails to make me sob multiple times throughout every one of her books??
Out of the three books this is definitely the darkest/most traumatic, so if you're considering reading, please check the trigger warnings, which if I'm being honest is why I have been putting off reading it for so long. Ngl there was one or two times where if I was going to have to soft dnf purely bc of some of the topics that the book dealt with, but I am very happy that I finished it, even if I broke myself in the process (don't worry this was expected)
.ೃ࿐⁀➷ Characters
❥ Seline: Honestly, I loved Seline literally from the first page. She is such a complex character and the more you learnt abt her the more I cried and wanted to give her a huge hug 😭😭🫂🫂 Also I just wanted to point out how even after everything terrible that had happened in her life didn't stop her from being so bright and cheerful.
“I was more afraid of living. It is such a burden we are given. Life is such a burden.To keep living is a burden when you find no meaning in it, to keep watching years go by as you rot away body and soul with the only thing that could hurt you intact all the way through. If I’d lost my mind, it might have been easier. It would have been a kindness, you know, for you to have granted me that at least.”
❥ Gabriel: It may have taken me a little bit longer to fully fall in love with Gabriel's character than it did with Seline. I feel like he is the least morally grey of all the mmc so far but surprisingly I didn't mind. I think that what made up for it was how absolutely obsessed he was with Seline, and he was not afraid to show it 🤭🤭
"Come out of the damn house and glare at me, shout at me, come out and throw rocks at me, and tell me every single thing you hate about me, just come out."
Also, there are no words to describe how happy I was to get an Az cameo!! Whilst we may not have gotten both Az and Winter cameo, I can't complain 🥰🥰
.ೃ࿐⁀➷ Romance
❥ Seline + Gabriel: The romance was literally the most wholesome, sweet, cute thing ever 🥹🥹 For the better half of the book I was worried abt how it was going to work as Gabriel can't touch Seline without hurting and potentially killing her, but Wendy never fails to exceed expectations and gave us such a raw vulnerable relationship that pulled at my heartstrings. I still stand by what I said in At The End There Was you, being that I personally don't believe the spice is necessary, but overall, I still absolutely adored these two ❤️🩹❤️🩹
.ೃ࿐⁀➷ My rating of the series so far
1. At The End There Was You - ★★★★★
2. Where Light No Longer Follows - ★★★★★
3. The Last War We Ever Fought - ★★★★☆.35

you thought that rowan and elijah's story will make me cry? nope, you're wrong (but the ending got lighten me up a bit, thank you very much) 😁
besides, if azriel and rowan called their fmc's only one endearment, gabriel called silene a lot of endearments (as in, A LOT) 🤭
but i will never forget that one part wherein . got me teared up though 🥹
and at this point, this is my favorite among the 3 novellas in this series 🤭

“My taunting eidolon, my lovely apparition, my beautiful phantom,” he murmured as a wet drop fell against the glass frame. “How many more nights must I mourn you?”
gabriel and his ruin, his damnation, his demise and his misfortune. silene had the saddest backstory from the three, my heart broke for her.
“You’re perfect. How can you fit so perfectly in my hold yet be the only thing I can’t hold onto forever? How can you be made for me so perfectly yet be the one thing I cannot have?”
“You’re Silene. My beautiful Silene with the gentlest, kindest hands. It wasn’t the violence that made you gentle, my ruin, it wasn’t the violence that softened you. You were kind and soft and gentle despite it. You won over all. In spite of all, you won. They could not change you, nor your heart—your kind, gentle heart. What they could not change they hurt. So let me take it away. Let me rip apart those memories for you.”
“Didn’t know the heavens had a smell.” “Mine does.” “Also didn’t know you owned one. But then, you seem to own many things.” “I don’t own her,” he said, reaching for a veil and pinning it at the back of her head. “But she does own me.”

“You’re perfect. How can you fit so perfectly in my hold yet be the only thing I can’t hold onto forever? How can you be made for me so perfectly yet be the one thing I cannot have?”
“You’re Silene. My beautiful Silene with the gentlest, kindest hands. It wasn’t the violence that made you gentle, my ruin, it wasn’t the violence that softened you. You were kind and soft and gentle despite it. You won over all. In spite of all, you won. They could not change you, nor your heart—your kind, gentle heart. What they could not change they hurt. So let me take it away. Let me rip apart those memories for you.”

My week started it with reading the first page and crying and it ended with me closing this book and crying.

↳ You never would understand if I told you how my soul has been forever tied to yours in ways no soul should ever be tied to another’s.
Wendy Heiss, you will pay for your crimes! How dare you break my heart like this? 😭 I cried so much, my soul is crushed. This novella ended me, I'm utterly destroyed. This was very painful to read, grief followed me from beginning to end, and although much of it was beautiful and joyful and so very sweet, I knew it wouldn't have the happy ending I wanted.
「 "Have I told you," he said, moving her billowing hair out of her face with the gentility of the wind. "How much I love how you say my name? Like you wish to gut me and eat me alive. I'd let you feast on every single bone. Pull me apart however you'd like.” 」
Still, I couldn't recommend it more. The characters are fascinating, the romance is sickeningly sweet and tender, I felt it deep in my bones. Wendy's writing is a gift, it's absolutely stunning.
°˖➴ quotes I want engraved in my soul:
"I think I wasn't made capable of hate. All of it might have been easier if I had just found a way to hate. If I had clung to it, I might have found some meaning in living."
"And love? Did you not love?"
"I did. To the point of suffocation. I should have loved a little less, maybe I could have been able to hate more.”
He wanted to remember her. Everything about her. He wanted everything about her engraved on his skin, for the ink to take root on his bones, for them to feed into his marrow.
"Any other request, my great misfortune, my beautiful demise?" he asked, no longer holding back his grin. "Or can I have you for another day?"
"I quite like it down here. Have come to realise why humans get on their knees to pray. Certain things do look like quite something to behold from down here."
No colour had ever mattered to Gabriel. Colours were just colours. But her eyes. Oh, her eyes. The moment he'd looked into them long ago, every existing thing had held a breath with him in acquiescence.
"You're Silene. My beautiful Silene with the gentlest, kindest hands. It wasn't the violence that made you gentle, my ruin, it wasn't the violence that softened you. You were kind and soft and gentle despite it. You won over all."
Her heart could never be hollow or narrow enough not to fit him. It was but a wretched thing, blackened by misery and bruised by hopelessness, but she would behold him like a beacon.

“To know of their worth. But wretched, for what they don’t deserve, they have sought to ruin.”

never have I ever wanted to thank someone for breaking my heart for the 3th time and excitedly waiting for the 4th time.
So, Wendy go on break me, wreck me, throw me around the room, break my bones, spill all of my blood, i've fallen so low on this app I won't even notice 🤪

WENDY, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?
October 11, 2024
“And love? Did you not love?”“I did. To the point of suffocation. I should have loved a little less, maybe I could have been able to hate more.”
“What am I to do with a heart I cannot use to love her, Silene?”
“Gabriel?” she asked, smiling when she heard his pulse quicken.“Yes, my beautiful ruin?”
“Deny me, my ruination,” he called as she stepped into the boat over Lethe. “It makes begging all the more enjoyable.”
Something about these books just hit different like they make me feel things like i want more of these characters and i feel like these characters are real people and not fictional🧍🏻♀️
This one isn’t my favorite but i did still like it, i loved the mcs sm and their bond was so special!! I also absolutely loved how the mmc loves the fmc like i want someone to love me like that too😔 but i still wouldn’t say this one is my favorite bc i do prefer the first and the second book!! (Still liked it tho and i would totally recommend this trilogy!!)
These books are soo unique I’ve never read anything like them and i want more books in this universe like i can’t get enough!! The writing is soo beautiful in all 3 books, the author really knew how to write beautiful yet heartbreaking stories in books less than 300 pages!! She also succeeded at getting me attached to the characters!!

ARC review
Once again, Wendy did it. Once again she broke my heart with the ending. And once again I fell in love with her book. I loved this book soooo much. Wendy has this ability to enchant you with her stories, to captivate you, to make you never want to let go of her characters. This novella was not an exception. Gabriel and Silene's story is beautiful but tragic. To love someone and not be able to touch them. To love someone but not have the chance to be together. All the odds are against their love and yet they keep fighting. Even knowing that their love will doom them, they keep fighting for each other. I loved a specific side character. He played a big role in this book but boy was he petty, I love him. Also the mentions of characters from previous novellas were a huge bonus. Wendy, like always, in her own fashion ripped my heart out and refused to give it back. In a good way of course, so go and read this book because it's soooo good.

This is for whoever finished The Last War We Ever Fought, and wanted seconds.
Don't get fooled by this dedication. I am holding back my tears so bad😭
Silene and Gabriel were so cute together. The way Elijah cursed the God of Life so much, I thought I am not going to like him but he was such a shameless flirt and made me giggle so much- I can't. He was so good to silene and even Az if I must say. His cat Tommy is the cutest thing ever😭 Silene deserves so much better. Every character in this series deserves the world but Wendy is such a bitchsorry, not sorryfor not giving it to them😭
4.5🌟

"Stop glaring at me"
"You have a perfect back," she said, an unusual skip to her words, "to stick a knife in it."
"Don't flirt with me, Silene.
In turn, she glared even harder.

These novellas are really good. Wendy Heiss honestly writes poetry. I do think this one was unfortunately my least favorite. Book one was just so good, I can't get over it.
I'm excited to read more of these! There is a deeper meaning in each of these novellas and they are like nothing I have read before.
