A review by hsecen
Fire Falling by Elise Kova
4.25
May 2024 reread:
Bumping this up to 4.25 stars, probably because I was better prepared for the pacing across the series and I had a much better time with this book!
3.5 stars
Oh my goodness. I was preparing to write my review as I was finishing up this book (but 100% complete). That ending was crazy and I’m pretty desperate to start the next book and find out what happened. For the most part, this book was a lot of laying groundwork for the world and fighting to come. There’s several training bits, and my complaint about the development in the relationship between Vhalla and Aldrik in the first book was more than made up in this book. In fact, I felt like their relationship had a much larger role in this book than any other plot point. My major complaint was that not much happened for a big portion of the story. It definitely has the feel of a middle book and I also wish that some of the declarations made toward the end of Book 1 carried over better into Book 2. I did enjoy reading this though, and thought that there were some interesting plot points, especially towards the end! I think if that had carried through the book a little more, it would have made for a better paced book. In any case, now I need to go start the next book to figure what happened after that ending.
