Phoenix Flame by Sara Holland
3.0
Thank you NetGalley and Bloomsbury Publishing Plc for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
Havenfall as a place is really interesting and the first book brought a lot of thing to the surface which this book didn't quite live up to.
Phoenix Flame picks up a couple of weeks after the end of Havenfall and we get to see the aftermath of The Silver Princes actions.
Due to this the book feels rushed in places like its trying to cram everything into a duology rather than a trilogy which could have been a possibility. It also doesn't give the reader much chance to reflect on what has happened before being thrown into another conundrum.
I did like Maddie before but when we get into this I feel as though she has regressed from her encounter with The Silver Prince. Brekken is still occupying almost every thought and when it's not him she is still confused by her feeling for Taya.
Over all it was a good book, it was engaging and interesting and it was a quick read. I just feel like what happened could have happened over a longer period of time.
If you enjoyed Havenfall I'd say you'd like this.
