Breath of Fire by Amanda Bouchet

3.0

The first one was so good and this one only average, took me way longer to read than usual, with none of that “I literally can’t put this down” feeling.
Ultimately, the wedding followed immediately by pregnancy trope killed it for me. She so carefully built up this character that is fiercely independent and badass and willing to go the extra mile to save her family and friends, only to kill it at the end by having her say she would have been less reckless if she’d known she was pregnant. It’s not exactly inspiring confidence for the next book.
