DNF
Offft. This just kind of bombed for me.
I liked book 1 and the unique world that the story takes place in, however we don’t actually get much world building at all. Where Diem was likeable in book 1, I really struggled to find anything likeable about her in book 2.
Disappointing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ SECOND BOOK SYNDROME
Glow of the Everflame was a mixed bag for me. I still find Diem insufferable, and the progression in this one was painfully slow. There was so much talking that it felt like the plot barely moved at all—classic second book syndrome. That said, the last third really redeemed it. It was exciting, emotional, and once Diem finally came into her own, the whole story lit up in a way I wish had been present from the start. If the earlier chapters had matched that energy, this could have been a standout.
