A review by toffiladyreader
Heir to Thorn and Flame by Ben Alderson

4.0

thank you so much to Netgalley for gifting me this ARC in exchange for an honest review!!

well, it seems Ben Alderson has redeemed himself.
i had the WORST experience reading one of his books a few years ago and, since then, i lost interest on picking something by him ever again. until i saw that i could request this audiobook and that i was about mages and dragons so i was like "here goes nothing."
at first i was kinda angry at the MC, always doubting and not knowing what to do. but i ended up respecting him after a while, considering everything he did to survive. the world sounded amazing and complex, now i need a map to visualize it better. my fave part was the angst that the love triangle gave me. with who would the MC stay?? because when one was shining, the other did something questionable so i had no idea what to think, which made it even more interesting
