Fear the Flames by Olivia Rose Darling

4.5

---

This story was a treat from start to finish! I absolutely loved Elowen and Cayden and their journey to get El’s dragons back. Elowen comes from a really crappy upbringing of neglect and abuse. She grew up very early and learned to take care of herself. Cayden is the leader of a the enemy nation’s army and known as a demon. His devotion to finding Elowen runs deep, and together they make a great duo. We get some good spice as well as sweet romance in this story. 

Finnian and Ryder are absolutely gems and I adore them. I especially love Saskia and how she interacts with everyone. She’s like the older sister trying to keep her idiot siblings alive. They all make up a great foundation family and I think they’re one of my favorite groups I’ve read about so far.  

Could there have been more wordlbuidiling or early set up? Probably, but I never felt like I was missing key information. And that ending! The final chunk of this story was a whirlwind of action. It was exciting and a little heartbreaking. I cannot wait to dive into the next book!
