A Tribute of Fire is a great epic romantic fantasy to binge read if you're looking to start reading the genre.
Lia, our FMC, is a princess of a goddess-cursed nation that enters into a deadly ritual in order to save her people and break the curse. This story is packed with lovable romantasy tropes, secrets, and a tension-filled romance subplot.
What to expect:
🗡️ Epic romantasy
🗡️ 1st person, single POV
🗡️ Greek mythology-inspired
🗡️ Deadly trial
🗡️ Stabby FMC
🗡️ Hidden identity
🗡️ Slow burn
🗡️ Found family
🗡️ Dragons & magical creatures
🗡️ Cliffhanger
This is my first book I've read by Sariah, and I love her writing style. Her world building was easy to follow, and I liked her incorporation of Greek-inspired mythology. Sariah does an especially good job at writing the found family trope and a swoony MMC within this book.
Lia has all the elements of a fierce, stabby FMC but she constantly contradicts herself—she's resilient but fragile, cunning but naive, clever but foolish—which was frustrating for me as a reader and made it hard to fully connect with her. This ending suggests Sariah is planning to really grow this character in book 2, and I'm rooting for her.
The dynamic between the FMC and MMC is very insta lust but is coupled with a slow burn, witty banter, and lots of kisses. I will say some of their interactions felt very juvenile at times which I felt semi mixed on since this is such a high-stakes story.
While I guessed the majority of plot twists, they're still enjoyable. The last 100 pages of this book are a definite page-turner. I'm planning to continue the series, especially after that cliffhanger.
A sincere thank you to Sariah Wilson for gifting me a physical ARC ahead of her November 1, 2024 release.
