The Black Flame by Steve Fabian, Lynn Abbey

3.0

I'm going to be honest, I didn't like this book as much as the first one. Mainly, I didn't like Rifkind's new love interest. The parts with surviving the swamp were exciting, and learning more about the gods and magic of her world were very intriguing; this book does a lot of myth and world building compared to the last book. But none of the new characters Rifkind encounters were really interesting. The one really great thing about this book is that even Rifkind can make mistakes - making her human despite all her amazing skills. Again - if you can, get the book with illustrations! So worth it!
