A great start to an intriguing series!
The first half of this book was slow for me with heavy world building which I can struggle with but the second half really picks up & brings you in. I am looking forward to seeing how this series progresses! Slowww burn though, so know in advance.

Thank you to NetGalley and Second Sky for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my review.
This book! I am officially a fan of Nisha j. Tuli and The Nightfire Series. After reading the ACOTAR series followed by The Fourth Wing, I was in a rut! I needed fantasy, suspense, a heroine who kicked ass, and some romantic tension. I tired a few of the TikTok recommendations and none really filled that gap. Enter Heart of Night and Fire! This is exactly what I needed to fill the void! This entire series is going to be a wild ride. Zarya is the heroine I needed. She's fierce and smart and I'm eagerly awaiting to see where her journey goes. I would absolutely recommend this series to anyone who loves world building and descriptive story telling without the slow burn. This book gets right to the story and I'm here for it! This is a solid 4.5 stars!

It is a masterful world building, filled with cultural nuance and vibrating in colour and taste. Looking forward to the next book in the series

The fantasy element pulled me right in. I really enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed reading the great cultural representations. The big thing that kept this from being a 5 star book was how hard it was to keep the names of characters, towns, and types of magic. There really needed to be a glossary to review to. It was super easy to get mixed up and confused. I did end up not wanting it to end so I could keep reading about Rabin! His story line coming in at the end kept this from 3 stars. Especially intrigued about him being a black dragon. That seems so casually figured out. So I’ll definitely be reading the second book. Thanks NetGalley for the copy.
