introvertinterrupted 's review for:
Flame in the Mist
by Renée Ahdieh
I'd put this book at 3.5 stars.
I wasn't hooked by the beginning and had to literally read it to myself out loud to stave off confusion at the beginning of the book and after all that, the ending felt forced. I wasn't expecting the main character and the Black Clan to reconcile so neatly by the end and in a way, I get the feeling that Reneé Ahdieh wrote a different ending before settling on this specific track for her characters.
The book wasn't all bad and I actually did enjoy the middle part where the main character learns that she can stand on her own two feet in a roundabout way. Yet, I would've preferred to see the character's development outside of just who she was in relation to the men around her. I was thankful for the banter in the book tho between the main character and her love interest since it feels like authors today have the tendency to let romantic entanglements happen too fast in books instead of there being a gradual buildup.
More than likely, I'd read the second book in the series even though I was confused about parts of the ending. I loved the book's nod toward feminism and cultivating the idea that every woman must come to terms with their form of "femininity" no matter how awkward or odd it may come across.
Question: Does this book remind anyone of Inuyasha?
