The world-building here is amazing. While I didn't particularly relate to the MC, Kel, I found her a very competent and capable character. The plot moves slowly, which isn't necessarily a bad thing because it really allows the relationships to build. I thought I knew where the story was going (and I was correct!), but thankfully that wasn't the end.

Not quite a cliffhanger, but definitely leaves you wanting more.

This was super unique and completely took me by surprise by how much I enjoyed it. I always love mystical creature stories and romances and this one was a great time. The ending also will leave you stunned. I definitely didn’t see it coming. Happy reading, friends!

wow wow wow, what a debut!

Of Flame and Fury was such a breath of FRESH AIR in the YA Romantasy genre. I’ve never read anything like it before and I was so intrigued throughout the whole book. We have phoenixes who the humans have race one another, but also there are others who claim the phoenixes are too wild to be tamed and deserve to be free. The book starts off with a bang in the middle of a phoenix race with Kel as the tamer (watches over the phoenix temps) as her phoenix Savita races. Things go horribly wrong during the race and after as well.

The MMC Warren Coupers. Coup. That’s all there is to it. I love me an enemies to lovers and it delivered.

The Howlers (racing team) became such a family with one another, I loved it so much. It made my heart so happy to know Kel had them with her throughout her journey.

And that final twist? I did NOT see coming at all. I was throughly shocked and I can’t wait for others to read Of Flame and Fury!!
