A review by illstoptheworldandreadwithyou
The Dagger and the Flame by Catherine Doyle

5.0

 

I absolutely adored this one! As is occasionally the case, I loved it so much I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to say in my review. I read it. I loved it. I told my friends to read it. And they have since read it and posted their own reviews. 

 

This is one of those books that I devoured and gladly would have read in one sitting if I’d had the time. It’s an awesome enemies-to-lovers romantasy, pitting 17yo Seraphine, who’s seeking sanctuary with the Cloaks, against Ransom, the heir apparent to the Order of the Daggers, the rival of the Cloaks and the very organization Sera wants to dethrone. There are even some twists in it that I didn’t see coming. 

 

I highly recommend listening to this one on audio! Freddy Carter and Emily Carey capture the back-and-forth push and pull between Seraphine and Ransom so well. 

 

I received a copy of the audiobook from Simon and Schuster Audio. All review opinions are my own.
