Fire Falling
by Elise Kova
Reread June 2022: Dude. I'm still in shock by that cliffhanger. This book amps the romance in the BEST DANG WAYS.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT KIND OF CLIFFHANGER?!
BLOG || INSTA
THAT WAS THE BIGGEST CLIFFHANGER I HAVE EVER READ. At least I think so, it’s the most recent one in my memory that had me literally buy the next book (YAY KINDLE) at that moment and read the first chapter to make sure I had a handle on what happened.
I’M NOT OKAY.
This book drew me in, loved me, THEN BROKE ME. I am so hooked by this series now.
The focus here is the love story. And I know that not everyone loves stories like that and I understand, but for me? ALL DAYYYYYY. I love love. Anywho, Aldrik and Vhalla just broke into my top five OTPs. I absolutely can’t get enough of their interactions and I was pretty sure this slow burn was going to be the end of me. It was slowww and so well built. By the time I actually got a kiss scene I squealed. That’s all I wanted y’all. Some declarations and some kissing. YES.

“My Vhalla, my lady, my love.”
There’s a lot more going on than this relationship (but am I honestly paying that much attention? Okay, not as much as I should). I am loving the politics of finding out more about the Emperor. His character is a bit of an enigma still. I want to know all the reasons he’s really trying to conquer the lands around him.
All of these side characters are amazing. I am devastated by some choices Kova made for them, but I will prevail. It’s too great of writing for me to be that upset. Everyone is easy to love (or hate) and I feel connected to the story through all of them. I love the roles everyone is playing and can’t wait to see those continue.
This book surprisingly takes place over a couple of weeks on the way to the battle. I didn’t even realize this because I was so focused on everyone else. I was entranced by this book and I’m pretty confident that Elise Kova is going to be an auto-buy author by the end of this.
HERE FOR IT ALL Y’ALL.
Overall audience notes:
- Young adult fantasy (focus on romance)
- Language: none (or maybe one word, but so little I didn’t notice)
- Romance: some kisses/make-outs, sleeping in the same bed but actually sleeping, no sex scenes
- Violence: knives, swords, a bit bloody, elemental magic, murder, loss of loved ones, poison
