Phoenix Flame by Sara Holland

3.0

I was sent a early ebook from the publisher to review!

Phoenix Flame is the conclusion in this quick fantasy duology by Sara Holland picking back up where the first book was left on.

I most definitely enjoy Phoenix Flame much more then Havenfall. While the world is completely unique and original, in my opinion, the whole story seems just a bit rushed for my tastes. Now if you’re looking for a quick and fun fantasy duology, this most definitely would be for you. However, I’m a person that enjoys a bit more detail and while I love shorter stories, this just felt too short for me.

Like I said, I did enjoy this one way more then the first book. This one had a bit more action and just overall more going on from the very start then Havenfall had, which made it easy to just dive right back into the story.

I still didn’t feel much of a connection with the characters this time around, although Maddie (the MC) did get a bit on my nerves this book and felt very indecisive to me. Also, there’s a love triangle that never gets resolved and I’m just like?????

Phoenix Flame also had a few plot twists that had me grinning but this story was left open ended and I’m the type that likes a neat little bow at the end lol

Ultimately, this received three stars from me for its originality, the world over all, Maddies family ( I love them) and it being a bit more action filled! I believe someone looking for a quick fantasy duology or even someone looking to read their first fantasy without being too overwhelmed would really enjoy this story!
