Rise Up from the Embers by Kristen Simmons, Sara Raasch
5.0
This series has everything I love––gladiators, elemental magic, gods, action, romance––and I will be sad to see it end. But what an ending!
Ash and Madoc are good characters with incredible power and drive. What I loved about their story, particularly when it came to the romantic element, is that they could stand on their own. They fought for each other and held onto their love, which I thought was refreshing. I also found Hydra, a new character, to be super cool and I would love to have a spin-off that follows her adventures.
The world building can be a bit complex at times, but the authors describe everything as conscicely as possible. The book moves quickly, so I never felt bored. The action is virtually non-stop, and both authors put their full imagination on display. I just wish we had time to explore more of this thrilling world!
This is a quick, fun read that I think many readers will enjoy, especially if they are fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender. If you're looking for an exciting summer read, this is it!
