Fire by Mats Strandberg, Sara Bergmark Elfgren
4.25

Ahh!  This book was so riveting!!  Normally sequels are a little bit difficult for me to get into, but this one sucked me in immediately.  Besides, what bigger threat and push for a resolution could there be besides an entire community trying to force happiness onto themselves and others?  Not to mention more information about the council and the guardians...UGH.  There was so much depth here, so many ways for our beloved characters to be fleshed out.  There are new relationships, twists, spins, powers...not to mention threats.  

And can we talk about Ida???  I love her.  I feel like if anybody I knew read these books, they wouldn't like her on account of her being very strict and unwilling to participate but oh my god........I LOVE HER.  The authors did such an incredible job of making her character more understandable while not making her more palatable.  And all the family and friend drama that's surrounding this...after all, these poor girls are still in high school.  

Just!!  The stakes are so high in this book.  I just started the third and final book in this series, and I just don't know how much higher the stakes can go...and if it's anything like this book, it's gonna take me for a spin.
