Flames of Gold by Liz Delton

adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced

3.5

This is an exciting, fast-paced start to an epic fantasy series that hooked me from the start. Right away, I fell in love with the characters, especially Fig and Mairead. And let’s not forget about the adorable dragonet. He is delightful.

There’s rarely a dull moment. It’s action-packed, full of twists and surprises. I was genuinely surprised by many of the plot twists, which kept the stakes high and the tension strong. One thing that really stood out to me was the unique lore. The silverswords and the sisters were such fascinating and well-thought-out elements of the world. 

Overall, Flames of Gold was an incredibly fun read, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys fast-paced fantasy with unique magic systems, strong characters, and lots of action.
