I really enjoyed getting more of Inaras point of view and seeing the world through her eyes as she experiencing new things after years of being stuck in her own mind. Shes more timid than her sister Zuhra but she has this quiet strength that was very inspiring. I didnt understand why Inara felt the need to keep secrets from Zuhra but I still loved their sisterly bond. The sibling relationship was definitely a major highlight of the story for me. Zuhras protectiveness of Inara was really sweet. Shes more outspoken and a risk taker which was a nice contrast to her sister. I liked how they each came into their own.

I dont know if I would have been able to forgive their mother but it was nice seeing them become a loving family again. Both girls have their own romance going on. I was a little disappointed that the calm and warm love Inara had for Halvor was seen as not good enough compared to the passionate and all consumming love Zuhra and Raidyn shared. It was a missed opportunity to showcase how both kinds of love can be fulfilling and worth holding onto. Despite that I did really enjoy Inaras romance. Her love interest was the type to hide a world of hurt behind an indifferent facade and those characters always steal my heart.

After the events of the first book where the antagonist reveals themselves by attacking one of them to steal their powers the plot picks up and keeps its momentum in this sequel. The main characters are determined to stop this new threat before they amass enough power to make them unstoppable and put that power to use by conquering the human kingdom. With it being a duology the danger and intensity ramps up until the epic showdown at the end. It wasnt that repetitive battle after battle type of plot but had a variety of different conflicts mixed in with some great character interactions and romantic tension.

Once again we get to spend some time in both the human world and the Paladin world giving us a wonderful portal fantasy vibe. I loved the Paladins gryphon companions and seeing one of them choose Inara as their rider. The way the antagonist is able to steal other Paladins powers by drinking their blood was disturbing and fascinating all at the same time. However I have a difficult time believing they havent ran into this problem more often since it’s pretty common for people want more and more power. The Paladins magic ranged from healing, fire, and mind control. If you liked the elements of Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor than you might enjoy this duology as well.

I am down for any book that features sister relationships. This is one of my all time favorites.  Zuhra is my favorite character and I love her discovery of her new ability. Inara breaks your heart, feeling her pain of loss and almost wishing she had not survived. 

A magical conclusion that will leave you wanting to dive back in and read it all over again.

This was a wonderful end to a great duology. I loved how the sisters grew as characters when they were separated but still came together just as close as before in the end. Not gonna lie, I was LIVING for the love stories and they were just perfect. Everything was interesting and gripping and I just wanted to get to the end so I could know how it all ended! I would definitely recommend this to others.

Warriors of Wing and Flame is the sequel to Sisters of Shadow and Light and picks up directly after the events that took place.
This was a fun journey full of twists from start to end. 
I really enjoyed following both Inara and Zuhra’s point of views.
 I feel like romance definitely took center stage in this addition compared to the first book. (I was enthralled by the angst of it all, but I know it won’t be the case for everyone.)
Overall it was such a good conclusion to the duo-logy.

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity.
A fantastic read, set in a mythical land reflecting those past fairytale. The writing is good and the reader feels immersed into the story quickly, even if they haven't read the first book in the series as I haven't. The characters are fascinating and engaging. After reading this book, I can't wait for more. 
A great read.

Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this sequel as much as I enjoyed the first book. There was a lot of filler and very little plot. Insta-love and romantic angst replaced the compelling fantasy mystery from the first book. The writing was repetitive and trite phrases that should have been caught by the editor weren't (phrases like "in my throat/back of my throat" were used constantly, sometimes within a sentence of each other).

2nd book in the series did not disappoint! I loved the first book so much and I always worry that maybe the 2nd book can't live up to the first. But I actually preferred this to the first, the character development in amazing and I love Zuhra and Inara, they are so relatable and I wish I could live in their world!

Completely loved the characters and word building in this novel. It fully emerged you in the world the author created.

I really enjoyed the first book in this duology, but I didn’t enjoy this one as much. Romance readers will probably fare better than I did, because this book felt like it was 80% romance. So maybe it’s not a surprise that it just wasn’t my thing, since I’m not a fan of romance. The romance felt true and accurate, but it was a lot of introspection and just romance drama and angst, and that’s not my thing. I was really wanting more on the fantasy! The world was still fun, though, and I enjoyed some of the mystery and the action. Really, it was just the romance that dragged this book down for me, because it’s not my thing.

I enjoyed this book so much. I liked the character growth from the first book. Reading the different perspectives of each sister was great. I loved this duology so much.

Thank you Macmillan and NetGalley for providing me an opportunity to review this title.

Warriors of Wing and Flame was a satisfying and sweet conclusion in the Sisters of Shadow and Light duology.

This installment picks up from where the first book left off. Barloc has escaped and now its up to our favorite sisters Zuhra and Inara with the help of their family and friends to stop him before he brings death and destruction to their home Vamala and Visimperum.

Like the first book, this is told in 2 POV's, Zuhra's and Inara's. From the start to the very end, the journey was an adventurous one with twists, romance, gryphons and a sister duo you'll root for. At times it did drag but overall this was a good conclusion. I don't think the world building or magic is complex, which makes it a perfect choice if you are looking for a light fantasy read where at the heart of the story is the love of two sisters, and nothing can separate them.

Such a wonderful follow-up to Sisters of Shadow & Light. I truly enjoyed myself while reading this. It picks up right where the first book ends with the sisters and Barloc. I was blown away by how satisfied I was at the conclusion of this duology. I felt complete in reading this. The writing was so immersive that I felt like I was with the sisters as they embarked on their journey. I felt like a third sister as I watched both Zuhra and Inara mature and grow. Where the first book felt more action-focused, this book is more emotion-focused and will make you cry your eyes out. You get equal parts of each sister which helps with their character growth.

I truly enjoyed reading this and definitely plan to check out more from Sara B. Larson. Let's not forget to mention how beautiful this cover is as well. This is definitely a book I'd recommend.

I love these books! I'll be honest, this series is one of those that I almost passed up on completely. I am not a fan of the covers, but the story inside is magnificent. They give me those TOG vibes with hidden fae-like beings with lots of power, gates to different lands, and romance, and I am here for it!

This second book takes place right where the first left off, which was nice. I hate having some big event happen at the end of one book and then having a time jump. Thankfully this book did not suffer from that. I hope the next book pulls through in the same way (I hope there is a next book, I need one, like now).

I loved the world, the battles and the characters almost as much a I did the first time. I would have liked a little more about the mother and father and I really want to know a bit more about the world through the portal. But, I'm assuming we will be getting more about that in the next one. The relationships between the sisters was still wonderful and I loved seeing them open up more to the people around them and their surroudings. The friendships and romantic relationships are a big part of the story and I didn't hate it, I think this particular series is done perfectly in that manner. I look forward to seeing how things turn out.

The villain is just as interesting and I love how Lasron weaves the past to the present with the why and how it's all connected. Backstory is another key point in all of this. Again, I think we will get even more about this part of the story in the next installment (can I please have that now). 

Just in case you haven't guessed already, the next chapter will definitely be on my most anticipated list (whenever it's announced for). They are everything my Fantasy loving hearts yearns for.

4.5 ⭐ Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan-Tor/Forge for a copy of this title in exchange for an honest review

Thank you to netgalley for this copy in exchange for my review! I thought this was an excellent sequel! The story moved well and the continuation of characters was great.

I really love Sara writing and this book just bought such a completeness in my opinion to the series. I am the oldest of three sisters and I love the sister relationship in this book. The journey of family meaning seem to be present really well and I love how the characters also grow up in many ways. I enjoy reading both of these book back to back too. Yes I would recommend

I am so happy I had to the opportunity to read & review Warriors of Wing & Flame by one of my favorite locals Sara B. Larson. I loved sisters of Shadow & Light so much!

These two sisters are so badass! Both of them have unique abilities and we get to see so much more of them in Warriors. I really like that even in moments where they're separated they can still feel each other to some extent. Their bond is so strong and no matter what they will fight to get back to one another. 

This book is fast-paced adventure from beginning to end. It picks up right where we left off with Zhura and Inara working to bring down Barloc. They'll face many challenges along the way but with the help of their family and the other Palladin's they just might succeed. 

I can't forget to mention there is romance and my goodness the kissing scenes!! The love interests were so swoony! 

I'm going to miss this world and hope that maybe one day we'll get to see more of Visempirum. I definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good YA Fantasy!

Warriors of Wing and Flame is the gripping conclusion to the Sisters of Shadow and Light duology, starting shortly after Sisters ended. Inara and Zuhra are back trying to save Vamala and Visimperum, while trying to figure out life, romance, and the boys they have given their hearts to. In Warriors, we get redemption, excitement, and new adventures for our two favorite sisters.

I rated this book using my heart, not so much a rating scale. I adore Zuhra and Inara and love how their characters are developing and growing throughout this book. The supporting characters; i.e. their love interests, their parents, grandparents, and team are all amazing characters that add something special to the story. This book is action packed and will keep you on your toes with twists and turns. 

I also really enjoyed the writing style. For a YA fantasy, it read more like an adult fantasy book in terms of language and plot - which I enjoyed. It reminded me strongly of the Strange the Dreamer duo by Laini Taylor. The writing style is smooth and I believe this book was even better paced than the first. I had one tiny issue with Inara's age, she seemed too young for a lot of her plot line to be realistic. I also didn't particularly enjoy the redemption arc for an abusive parent, though it wasn't as large of a redemption as I was expecting.

Overall, I very much enjoyed reading this duo and gave both book 5 stars. I love when books just rip emotions and feelings out of you and leave you wanting more. I was swept up in this book and wouldn't have it any other way.

**Thank you to Tor Teen and Netgalley for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**

Warriors of Wing and Flame was a super enjoyable conclusion to the story that began in Sisters of Shadow and Light. Zuhra and Inara both grapple with the aftermath of Barloc's betrayal and the gateway between Vamala and Vispempirum being reopened. Everything has changed--Paladin now stroll the halls of the citadel, Inara has been saved from the roar (but at a steep cost), and Zuhra must come to terms with not just concern for her sister and family, but this newfound power she now possesses. The threat from Barloc, now a jakla who can consume the power of the Paladin, is greater than ever as he continues to gain power and wreak havoc on the populace of the human world. Now Zuhra and Inara, along with their family and friends, go on a quest to put a stop to his plot once and for all. 
Warriors of Wing and Flame starts off with a bang and just keeps on rolling. It took me a second to get back into this world since I haven't reread SOSAS lately, but it didn't take long for me to get into it. I really enjoyed the plotting and pacing in this book, which is a step up from SOSAS. I didn't really feel like the story dragged at all. I really enjoyed all the romantic twists and turns that Zuhra and Inara have to face, and the development of these relationships ended up being really satisfying, if not a little devastating. I felt that both sisters got to shine in this book, and I especially loved seeing more of Inara and her personality. Warriors of Wing and Flame is a story about loss, first love, and self-discovery, but more than that it is yet another tribute to the bond of sisterhood, which is at its heart. That bond between Zuhra and Inara makes the book as fabulous as it is. This duology is fantasy writing at its best, a story of heroes and villains and magic, and the love we're able to cling to in between.

Warriors of Wing and Flame is the second part of author Sara B. Larson's Sisters of Shadow and Light duology. The story alternates between 18-year old Zuhra, and her 16-year old sister Inara. Picking up immediately following the events of Sisters of Shadow and Light, things are at a tipping point. Zuhra has returned home from Visimperum, home of the Paladin’s, bringing with her long-lost father Adelric, and a team of Gryphon Riders to the Citadel for the first time in 16 years. Paladin, who once fought a war against humans, were sent away after Inara was born which closed the gates between worlds while also separating Adelric from his human wife.

Paladins are magical beings who are capable of everything from controlling minds, to healing, to enhancing someone's powers, to creating nearly unbreakable shields. Zuhra's younger sister Inara was drained by the villain Barloc and left for dead in the first book. Thanks to both Raidyn (Healer) and Zuhra (Enhancer) Inara is still alive. But, with her sister struggling to deal with the loss of her healing abilities after being stuck in what the author calls the roar for 15 years, the threat of Barloc must be addressed soon. Barloc has left a trail of bodies in his wake, including Zuhra’s grandfather who she just met after 16 years of separation.

Barloc plans to find Paladin’s called Infinitium Sect who feel like he does. They believe Paladin deserve to rule over humans since they are much stronger. If he can find the others, he could be a danger to both Visimperum and Vamala. While Inara is reeling from the loss of her powers, she’s no longer under a cloud of uncertainty. She can make up her own mind and choices including who she loses her heart to. Inara is shockingly attuned to Barloc and that provides both an opportunity and a likely trap for Zuhra who Barloc would love to have her powers.

While the Paladin are desperately trying to track down Barloc who poses a risk to both worlds and both Paladin and humans, Zuhra has fallen in love with Raidyn. Their connection has some minor issues, but there’s no doubt they are mutually in love with the other. Happily, Inara gets her own chance at discovering who she is when she travels to Visimperum after following Barloc and trying to get her powers back. Inara’s growth and the fact that she gets this amazing new ability while also falling hard for Loukas, a boy who is perhaps the most dangerous Paladin in existence, was nice to read about. Inara, like her sister, grew up within the walls of their citadel sheltered from the outside world and experiences. It’s nice to see both girls get a happy ending, even with all the losses and devastation, as well as a reunited family unit that was shattered for 16 years.
