Heart of Flames
by Nicki Pau Preto
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 stars
Heart of Flames is the second book in the Crown of Feathers trilogy. We dive right back in the world of the Golden Empire and the Phoenix Riders.
We start right where the first book ended. We see the aftermath of the battle, which explains why the start of the book was rather slow. It was expected and I didn’t really mind as I thought the pace would pick up later in the book, and it did.
The characters and world building were amazing in the first book and remain amazing in this book! The way everything is written creates beautiful and awesome imagery with epic scenes and phoenixes soaring through the air. We dive deeper in shadow magic in this book, where we dove into animages in the first. I loved getting more insight into the different types of magic.
The characters are vibrant and memorable, written with prowess to made them likable and relatable. I love Sev ever since the first book and was delighted to read how his journey picks up after the first book. Veronyka is still the heroine at the heart of the book. I loved how she grew from the first book to the end of this one. Her journey was amazing, and my heart was aching for her and I wanted to throttle her in the next breath.
Despite it being a rather lengthy book, the pacing wasn’t slow or boring at all. Mostly due to the alternating POV’s which also really gives insight into what’s happening on both sides. This makes the story only more complete to me. I loved how we also saw into Val’s darker mind during this book. We see more focused on the phoenixes, which is just amazing! The breaks between some chapters with the excerpts that give you more information about phoenix riders and the history are also really amazing to read and gives you so much more understanding of the world you’re reading about.
The romance in this book was very satisfying to read. It was light and almost fluffy next to the epic riding and fighting. It gave a nice contrast to the book’s other events.
I’m so glad I waited with reading this book, because I don’t think I could’ve waited for over a year for the final book to finally be released. Especially with the cliffhanger on which the book ends! To be honest the chole conclusion of the book was jaw dropping!
Overall, the book wasn’t boring or seemed unimportant like some middle books in series sometimes do. It was an amazing read making me all the more exciting to finally read Wings of Shadow in July!
