The Fire Queen by Emily R. King

5.0

I was not prepared for the thrills and excitement of this sequel. The story was packed with surprises, adventure, drama, and more! I loved the dual perspectives, new characters, trials, and the mind-blowing final battle.

Seeing Kalinda and Deven apart strengthened their relationship to me. It was great to see them work through their challenges without relying on each other. I found them both to be quiet strong, particularly Deven, since he didn't have as much development in the previous book.

Ashwin was also an interesting character, since for most of the book, I didn't quite know if his motives were pure or not. The villains were even more intense and terrifying than ever before. I am truly becoming attached to some of the side characters and will bite my nails to make sure they survive!

The new lore, combined with King's stunning writing style made for a truly inescapable experience. I am head over heels for this series, and need to keep going to find out what happens next! This is a definite recommend for anyone looking for an action filled fantasy with a powerful female lead!
