PLOT HOLES, WEAK CHARACTERS, AND THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

It took me a little bit to get into the story as the first book was setting the plot.
It was a fantastic plot full of enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers and back again a few times lol. It would have been cool to see a chapter in Cade or Jeanie’s POV.
I am excited about where the story line is going with that ending. I love Raven so much. She has been through a lot and is such a badass female. All she wants is love and respect.

This is a 4.5⭐️ for me but not quite a round up to 5. This is a quick to spice, mostly romance, emotional read. There are fantasy elements, not a ton of world building, the magic is cool! I like the FMC and the MMC. My drawback was that I found it slow for 75% of the book. I wasn’t disinterested, I wanted to keep going, but it felt a bit repetitive without a ton of world building. A lot of back and forth and cyclic thought patterns/inner monologue. The last 25% really started to set the book up for plot advancement and the ending had me immediately starting the second book. So all in all definitely a good read and I think the next books will be even better! I believe this might have even been her debut novel which is impressive!
I can’t. The writing is awful, self-contradictory, and just so cringe. There is so much artless exposition cluttering it up that by 3% in, I already knew Raven’s entire backstory. I feel so tricked by the 4-star reviews, because the story is littered with mistakes a new writer and a bad editor would make. Like it’s just objectively bad. If you want an engaging fantasy that doesn’t sound like it was written by a thirteen-year-old, steer way clear of this one.

This book has been on my list for a while but I joined Whitney's street team for her upcoming release and decided to finally read one of her books! And I am so glad that I did. This was an incredibly unique story that I found to be empowering with the FMC. Her fatal flaw and development over the course of the novel was intriguing and captivating.

I might change this later but, fresh after finishing, I regret reading this. It takes *a lot* for me to DNF a book and I don't think I've ever come closer without actually stopping.
One of my biggest pet peeves in a book is having a character make a promise, BLATANTLY break that promise, then get upset with the consequences.
Add to that the fact that Raven REPEATEDLY goes back to Cade AFTER realizing he had been manipulating and abusing her for years and I am fuming.

So I haven’t read this book YET! But I want to. I’m here to say don’t buy any copy that has only the “Kingdom of flame” on the cover, make sure to get copies that have the cover pictured above!!! The others are from a company STEALING the writers work. Go look on IG if you don’t believe me. It is a legal issue and is being addressed. Shame on that company for stealing someone’s hard-work, sweat, and tears. This is a LEGAL matter and any books being sold that have the covers (that aren’t like the one pictured) do not go to the author.
Go follow her on IG and get signed copies of her books to support her legal battles and have the actual sales go to her. @authorwhitneydean
Signed copies close this weekend!

Ugh, I was so excited for this one because of a thirst trap video that I saw on Instagram. Too bad that it did not have the "thirst trappyness" that I was looking for.
