This book took me a while to get through from no fault of its own, but just me being busy. Because of that I feel like I can’t remember everything that happened. This was a 28 hour long audiobook. So a lot of stuff happened and went down. I will say I was sad that we didn’t see any of Amberhill in this but I guess that’s what the 6.5 book is about but that’s kind of annoying honestly. I also don’t love what they’re doing with the queen’s character in this she seems to not be the same character that she was in the earlier books but again, maybe they’re just because she’s evolving but I don’t like the way that it’s going. Kerrgian is still kind of OP and gets all of this stuff and it makes sense in the story but it’s still kind of like annoying. I definitely think I’m going to read book 6.5 before I jump in to book 7 so we’ll see how that turns out.

I would give this 2 and a half stars, right down the middle. There's about 500 pages of good action and character movement in this book. But the book is over 780 pages, so there is some slogging to get to the end. I like the main character, which is why I've kept going with this series. I just hope future volumes are a little more streamlined.

Goddamn, I love this series! Firebrand was a rollicking adventure from start to finish. I'm going to have a killer book hangover for at least a week.

Further evidence that Zachary has a thing for Karigan in his clothes.

I liked this much better than the last one in this series. I can't wait to see how this ends.

I have so many million feelings about this book I feel like it's impossible hold them entirely still, and that's why when I finally got to talk to a friend about it after finished the last pages a few weeks ago, we ended up talking about the book, series, direction, choices for almost two hours straight after a party had cleared from her house.

I love the direction this book is headed, and I love that a lot of it feels like it's all natural progression. Revelations about the far past, and about the current goings on everywhere. I love the romances, and how they are noble, tangled in duty, family, character growth, gain, and loss, well fitting to all the positions all the people are in. I love the new sides of the Elt and magical creatures we got.

I feel like there are so many things I want to say and too many of them are spoilers that were just *So Well Done* in the book. I can't stop recommending this series more and more, especially the further on in it gets and how beautiful this woman's writing continues to grow.
