Commanding Flame and Shield by S.J. Barnett

4.0

Commanding Flame and Shield is my first read from SJ Barnett. I am a fan of all types of romance novels, so I know that just by reading the blurb, I had to try this one out. I'm really glad I did, as I was pleasantly surprised. This book has it all, great world building, amazing story telling, developed characters, lots of action packed scenes, and a warm romance. I will say this book is definitely on the longer side; I think close to 600 pages or so, but I did appreciate the author for taking the time to explain the whys behind it all. By the end, I was really happy I chose this one. Given it's length, it did take me a while to get into the story but once I was sucked in, I was done for! Overall, I thought this was a really good read and will recommend to fantasy readers!
