I really enjoyed Flame in the Mist, so I was very excited to read the sequel. I had a hard time getting into this book, as it has a very slow start. Once I got into it, I enjoyed it, although the story was not as compelling as the first book.
I was disappointed in the ending, it felt like it was rushed. So much of the book just seemed to crawl by, and then all of a sudden the book was over. It felt a little unfinished/unresolved.

We love seeing FMCs being super duper powerful even in times when it “isn’t period accurate” women have always fought hard for things regardless of time period. Highly recommend this book and series for those who want to see women winning!
