A review by lilyreader
Flame in the Mist by Renée Ahdieh

2.0

I’m sorry but I didn’t like this book as much as I expected to
I mean Renee has a wonderful way of writing,
We get to know a little bit of Japanese culture and samurai history
But they are a few things I didn’t like for example
The start was so slow it took a lot to get to the interesting part.
and for the main character Mariko I liked her at the first half of the book she was strong clever and brave.
But all of the sudden she started being so annoying and negative, and all that she did was complaining about being a girl.

[spoilers]


And for the other characters, I really liked Yoshi, and I was sad when he dies. And for Okami and Ranmaru and Kenshin didn’t care about them.
And for the romance I didn’t like the love story, I felt like it was rushed,the book can go without it honesly.
Also How the Black Clan members accepted her after she betrayed them? It was too easy and unbelievable.
However the ending was good I liked it
It left a lot of open questions wish made me fell like the second book will be better and a lot is going to happen.
