sandralam 's review for:
Thron in Flammen: Roman
by Brian Staveley
I switched between the audiobook and ebook because I found it was taking me too long to read.
Overall the book was ok but I have a few mixed feelings about it:
1. First, it was wayy too long. The writing was great but the pacing was somewhat inconsistent; the first half was too stretched out and it felt like the plot kept dragging on, and when things did get exciting they felt very rushed and the book ended too abruptly.
2. Unfortunately The Providence of Fire had second-book syndrome. It seemed like the book existed purely as a bridge to book three because the plot focused more on world-building and revealed a lot of interesting details about the religion/gods .
3. The secondary characters definitely saved this book. I couldn't believe how much I disliked the three main characters considering how much I was rooting for them in book one.
So while it seems like there are more cons than pros, I did enjoy The Providence of Fire but it didn't live up to my expectations after reading The Emperor's Blades.
