"What is the point of living if you can't let yourself feel anything?"
Hey guys, I finished Fireblood by Elly Blake, the sequel to Frostblood. Let me just tell ya, this is a rollercoaster, one that builds tension then explodes. It has drama right up front, and danger, then adventure, then action and more danger, and did I mention danger? LOl. A wrong step anywhere could lead to doom. It was so precarious, everything hanging on by a thread. And then the thread is lit on fire and explodes. Seriously. And of course there is heart strain and ache and conflicting feeligns, all that, but the book's true essence was its action, secrets, and revelations. The writing for action scenes was great, easy to follow along and keep track of whats what. And the revelation scenes, some were predictable if you knew what to think about, and others completely blew my mind. Like, I was in shock, gasping at the book. Damn. I really did love the action scenes, and all the displays of fire magic, so cool how the author thought about all of that. I also loved watching Ruby get stronger and more determined, focusing on what she wants, no one else. For the most part. Wait, lemme back up. THis book relatively picks up where the last one let off. Ruby is dealing with her new circumstances best she can. And Arcus is too. But their ways of dealing with it....are complete opposite. Arcus seems to have a big blind spot when it comes to her, and Ruby is just like "seriously bro, do you not see whats going on". As much as I loved them together, I had my worries, regarding...everything...especially Marella....BUt then things happened and she met Kai and he was like "come sail away with me" And I was like "yes". (not a spoiler, its on the bookjacket). Arcus...i dont even know how to feel about him in this book. Was he brave? was he stupid? was he selfish? I have no idea. But then again, Kai, the new bro, has some conflicting qualities as well. Was he selfish? Was he caring? DId he truly believe in her? Did he just want what was best for her or best for himself? **sighs** men....But Kai definitely brought sparks to this novel. He was funny, confident, daring, and dashing. I was swooning. And he helped Ruby in a way Arcus couldnt. He let her be her. He let her be free. He wasnt restricting. And maybe for those reasons...I kinda wanna root for Kai? Although he has his issues....in the end, I think he truly does want to protect Ruby, and cherish her. But Arcus wants the same...but could it ever work? UGH. Damn triangles. Why do I always have to root for the underdog. But yeah, anyway, this book was action packed and i could not stop reading. I just had to know what was going to happen next. ANd that ending, that about killed me. WHen i finished it, I literally went on amazon at midnight and ordered the next book, I am that desperate to read the next one. Wow. I did not see that ending come. **wipes brow** Gonna be interesting how all this wraps up...I just want Ruby to be happy, and be with people who will accept her. I want the best for her. ANd i want the best for Kai. And even Arcus. Damn. Okay, so yea, this book had a bunch of greatness to it. Her time in Sudesia was definitely not what she expected. SO much occurred, so much...the training, the trials, the mission, everything. (not spoiler, on bookjacket). It was a whirlwind of feeling, and half the time I wasnt even sure what i was feeling. Neither did RUby, HA. But i think something that could have made this novel better would have been a pov from Arcus....I really wanted to know what he was up to when she was in sudesia. But oh well....Okay, i think i rambled on long enough. If you guys have any questions or comments, drop em below. Till next time. bye.
