I loved the concept of this! Overall, a really interesting story and book. The storytelling itself felt a bit jilted at times, lacking detail/description in some moments while diving too deep at other times.

I can’t believe I let this book sit on my TBR for so long, I loved it! So well written, and the two narrators did an amazing job reading. I thought the world building was great and the characters were so unique and interesting. Onto the second!

 - WE HUNT THE FLAME has a beautifully built world and is full of descriptions that make you feel like you are there.
- The pacing was a bit slow - a lot of sitting/walking around and talking, though that may have just been misguided expectations on my part.
- Strangely, Zafira felt like the least-developed character. Everybody else on the quest had a distinct personality and backstory, but she didn't have much beyond being The Huntress (and the fact that she was obviously in love with her best friend Yasmine, why were we wasting so much time on the boys?)
