I'm so ready for Book 3.
The Fires of Vengeance is the exhilirating sequel to Rage of Dragons, and boy, what a follow-up it is. This one continues the journey of Tau Solarin as he continues his quest for vegeance, but now as the Champion of the Queen. He and his sword brothers having matured, they're now faced with all out war.
The Fires of Vengeance does a great job of showing Tau's obsession with vegeance, and how much it impacts his relationships and choices. He's become revenge incarnate, and he has to make some crucial choices in this book. The consequences for decisions made are also so much greater than the first book. There's so much death and loss and blood, all for the sake of revenge, and it's so fitting to how all-consuming his need for vengeance is. It's still mostly in his POV, but much like the last book, every now and again, it will switch to someone else's perspective. And they see him in such a different way from how he sees himself. You also get to learn even more of the world and the main threats these characters face, including the dragons themselves. They don't appear very often, much like Rage of Dragons, but in this book especially, they get a moment to shine.
And the ENDING. I'm so mad (not really) at the cliffhanger it ended on. It just makes me more hyped for when the third book comes. I look forward to seeing how this story ends, and I hope my boy Tau can finally get some peace.
