The gloomy nature vibes described in the first book came to fruition as the magical inhabitants of the island and the story slowly enveloped the whole island.
The characters were loveable and I really felt for them and their journey. Worldbuilding - AMAZING, vague enough to be mysterious but still logical.
I did feel that the main romance was a bit forced but I didn't mind.

There is so much genuine love in these books and in these characters. There is blood and death and tragedy, but there is always love too. That might be my favorite thing about them, really

A Fire Endless felt like a very different book from A River Enchanted. While it still took place on the same island and with the same cast of characters, a lot of things didn’t work as well for me this time around. But before I get to those, here are the things I DID enjoy!
Things I liked:
- learning about the west and its culture
- Adaira’s growth and overcoming of her fears
- Torin’s renewed appreciation for Sidra and the softer aspects of the isle
- the development of the relationship between the east and west
- Kae!
Things I didn’t like
- the different plot elements felt disconnected from one another. The blight that is the impetus for the book feels insignificant in comparison to Jack’s actual journey
- the climax of the book didn’t satisfy me emotionally. This big moment that ended the series ended up having almost no emotional impact for me, and I knew that it couldn’t be the end because of that
Obviously, I still enjoyed the book quite a bit! The characters and the writing were wonderful, and most of the time I thoroughly enjoyed the story as well. But those two things were enough to drop this down a full star for me. That said, I will definitely be reading more from Rebecca Ross. 4 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley andHarper Voyager for providing me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
