This is the sequel to A Fire in the Sky, and y’all, I was READY to swoon and cry. Did it deliver? Kinda, but not without a few “hmmm” moments that had me side-eyeing my Kindle.

First off, Tamsyn? My fiery queen! She’s out here transforming from whipping girl to full-on dragon warrior.

But then there’s Vetr, Fell’s broody brother with those silver eyes. Did I ship it? Maybe for like, two seconds, before I remembered Fell is my OG.

Stig turning villain was a gut punch, though haven’t all women had a guy friend who seemed so kind and when they came out of nowhere basically crying about friend zone (when they f-- zoned us first???) then did a 180 when they're rejected. I love a good twist, but I wish we’d gotten more of his descent. It felt a teensy bit rushed. 

The romance? Still hot, still swoony, but I wanted MORE Fell. I need my OTP front and center. Vetr’s vibes were a fun tease, but they didn’t fully fill the Fell-shaped hole. 

It’s not perfect (give me more Fell, Sophie!), but it’s got me hooked for whatever’s next.
