A review by snorple
The Flame and the Blade by Meredith Hart

1.0

77p was too much for this book

There was a lot of things that made no sense but the main ones that annoyed me were:
- The heroine is meant to be a badass, but aside from one fight at the start, she is pretty weak and useless throughout
- The hero is a magic user in hiding... but then immediately uses magic in front of her?
- They would mention being wary of bandits/demons/people at ruins but proceed to be extremely loud constantly
- Hero was burning hot to the touch yet a horse was okay with him on its back for days
- The dialogue (internal and spoken)

I think I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if it was from one POV (probably heroines) and we discovered things as we went
