Flames of Gold by Liz Delton

5.0

This book was just outstanding in all the best ways. We meet Fairaleigh, Fig as she chooses to be called, making a living as a mage out on her own away from the castle. She is met with a silversword demanding she meet with the king, who turns out to be her best childhood friend Dev. Now, the adventure is basically from page one, and the book was difficult to put down as I needed to see what happened next. We met a dragonette in the golden woods along with dwarves, and the author did a wonderful job describing the way the magic in this world worked and how the people interacted with it. The tension was palpable at many points in the book, as the three friends continued to try to get to a safe destination. They gather new friends along the way and yet still never know whom to trust. The hits just keep coming in the last half of the book and shocked me with the revelations. I'm excited to see what happens next and am only disappointed that I must wait.
