Road To Fire
by Maria Luis
I felt a lot of emotions while reading this book, my first from Maria Luis. A little disorientation because I've never read a royal story set in the present, only historical fiction. So I kept forgetting where we were. Trepidation, because there were so many secrets and so much pain and misguided loyalty and heart wrenching vengeance. There was suspense, and action, and intense smexy times. There was trust and broken trust. Loyalties questioned. So. Much. Pain.
But the story between Isla and Saxon really is where the beauty and the pain "I breathe, you inhale, and we both go up in flames." Has a better line ever been written? The evolution of their relationship was truly a fascinating ride. How very cold Saxon was in the beginning. Even when inside his head, we don't see him thaw for quite a while. But actions speak louder than words, right? And his actions were screaming his feelings long before he admitted them to himself.
Isla was such a strong character. She never broke. She wasn't shown as anti-feminine in her warrior skin, and I really appreciate that. I don't like weak female characters. But I'm also not overly fond of female characters who have lost any hit of softness. It's just not my style. Isla walked that line of being both fierce and female, and I loved her.
This story was long (which I always love since I read so fast), and it was a rollercoaster ride. I know I'll continue the series, though I need a little breather before diving into more of this chaos.
