- WE HUNT THE FLAME has a beautifully built world and is full of descriptions that make you feel like you are there.
- The pacing was a bit slow - a lot of sitting/walking around and talking, though that may have just been misguided expectations on my part.
- Strangely, Zafira felt like the least-developed character. Everybody else on the quest had a distinct personality and backstory, but she didn't have much beyond being The Huntress (and the fact that she was obviously in love with her best friend Yasmine, why were we wasting so much time on the boys?)
