5 stars!!!
This book sat on my shelf for far too long. I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t this! This was amazing! The only upside is that I was able to jump straight into book 2 from the Libby app.
This book started in our very recognizable world and quickly transported us into another.
Romi’s life has been hard and just when it looks like her minor luck has run out she is rescued by a mysterious stranger… who wants something. Given her options are to end up dead or take the stranger up on her offer, she complies only to wake up in a strange place, accused of treason, treachery and murder.
This book follows as she tries to figure out how to complete her task while not dying in the process. All while navigating an unfamiliar world where she discovers many, including herself are not human.
I’ve been a vampire girlie ever since Buffy but this was a new take that took me on an amazing ride.

This was a 4.5 read, I really enjoyed it. I got the first two books of this series when they popped up on my audible plus as free for the month and I am so glad that I did. I adored this book, it was such a good listen with magic, fantasy, and romance. The romance in this book was great, I loved watching the MMC fight his feelings for the FMC as he realizes she’s not the same person he knew, at the same time you are watching the FMC discover the new world she has landed in. The magic system in this world was great, I can't wait to see if Romeria's two worlds come together in later books. I have already started the next book in the series and I am loving it as well.
Romy is a thief in New York city forced to work for a crime boss. When she is kidnapped by Sophie to help save the life of Sophie's husband and sent to another world. Romy is put into the body of the woman who has just murdered the king and queen and Romy is soon taken hostage by their son, the new king and the woman whose body she is currently in betrothed.
This was a great romantasy read and I'm so excited to continue the series.

A Fate of Wrath and Flame definitely kept me guessing through the end of the book.
Although as a reader, it's clear what is coming, soooo many of the jumps and turns were surprising and interesting.
A bit too long and hoping the next book is just as good!

4/5 stars. I didn't really like this book at first and it was a little more murder mystery than I thought it would be but it turned out to be really good and I got sucked in. Excited for the 2nd book!

fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
This was an interesting take on the genre. Chosen-one, body-swapping, suddenly-in-the-fae-realm, enemies-to-lovers, elemental magic, we've seen this all before. However, I thought A Fate of Wrath and Flame was unique enough with interesting, smart, developed characters. Not a huge fan of the narrator unfortunately. She's very talented but any part that wasn't a character speaking felt robotic to me. Still, I will definitely be continuing to read the series.

It was refreshing to find a romantasy that wasn't built atop a mountain of cringe dialogues and overused tropes.
Sadly, while the book is passable albeit really laggy at times (we spend over 50 pages with the character sitting around in a tower infodumping and then describing a map we already have illustrated at the start of the book), it's just okay/meh, and I have other books I'm more excited to read, so I think I'm just gonna cut my losses and not continue. I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't really wowed by the creativity, or lack thereof.

Took me forever to finish this book for some reason, it just wasn’t holding my attention and I had to keep restarting BUT once you get past like the first 25-30% of the book it gets pretty interesting! Looking forward to book 2!
