A review by s4ufos
Born of Fire by Sherrilyn Kenyon
5.0
Admittedly, I wasn’t sure how this would compare to the first book in there series. However, after finishing it (just minutes ago), I’ve got to say that I loved it. To date, it’s probably my favorite in the series (only because I haven’t read the others yet).
Syn and Shashara were complex characters that were written well. Part of the reason I gave the first book 4 out of 5 was because of Kiara and her slightly wish-washy attitude. In this book, Shashara was a strong woman and, while she made some mistakes, owned up to the things she said/did. Syn was a beloved character from the original novel, but this book gave him so much depth that I loved him even more. Out of anyone (so far), I really wanted him to have a happy ending. I think they suited each other well.
Now, if you read the author’s note in the beginning, she mentions that there is some overlap between the original book and this sequel. While there were some things changed, it was very minor and didn’t really effect the plot.
Also, the story was well written and fast paced. I had a difficult time putting it down. I rarely give things 5 stars, but this book deserves it. I absolutely loved it and will gladly read it again in the future. It makes me eager to start the third in the series.
