Fury of Fire by Coreene Callahan

3.0

I loved Knight Awakened by Coreene Callahan, such an fantastic book, so I wanted to read more of her work. Fury of Fire is a good book, with lots of potential but unfortunately, it didn’t work that well for me.

The story is a good one, Coreene’s writing style is very good as well, I really like it but there wasn’t enough development. The plot was interesting and I did like it but, at the end of this book, we’re left without answers. None. It’s so disappointing. During the entire book there are several questions unanswered, questions who are important to the story and for the MCs and their relationship but at the end, it’s like those questions didn’t exist. And it left me very frustrated.

I also understand insta-love/lust in books with shifters because that is their nature, so when it’s well written, I don’t mind at all. In Fury of Fire it was well written but, once again, too quickly. One minute the heroine hates the hero, she wants to escape and the next she’s already in love. It’s a bit complicated to explain without writing spoilers… The relationship between Bastian and Myst was not explored enough for my taste either. The book is not a short one but unfortunately, even though I liked them, I didn’t feel really connected to them.

Since it’s the first book, I’m hoping to have answers to my questions in the next book. I really hope so, because I’m seriously feeling frustrated. I think some questions really needed to be answered in that book because they were directly connected to the heroine and to her relationship with Bastian, unfortunately, we have nothing and yeah…I find that a little weird.

I did like Bastian and Myst, they formed a great couple even though their relationship was barely explored. Myst was kinda dumb and frustrating at times but it was understandable given her situation. Bastian is all alpha-male. Leader of the Nightfury dragon clan. He was very patient and sweet with Myst and I really liked him.

I really feel weird right now because I don’t know what to truly think about this book. The more I think about it while writing this review, the more I remember things that displeased me but at the same time I still liked the book. U G H! What really bothers me, AGAIN, are the unanswered questions. I mean, there are so many of them! What about the baby? And Forge? And what about Myst’s pregnancy? What’s gonna happen to her? What did Bastian mean when he said she wasn’t entirely human anymore? Where is Angela? And Mac? I NEED ANSWERS!!!

Anyhoo… I’m still going to read Fury of Ice, because, ONE, I want answers and, TWO, I really liked Rikar and Angela and I want to read more about them. Like I said, the story in itself was good, I really liked it, lots of potential. Coreene is a great writer, she describes everything so well. I loved the battle scenes. It was very well written! And well, I do love dragons and this series is still very promising.
