I was thoroughly surprised by Fire Becomes Her. I did not know what to expect going into it, but I found a lush, magical world heavily influenced by the Roarin’ 20s. Ingrid is an incredible character, strong-willed and feisty, trying to find her way into power through romance and political maneuvering. Throughout the novel, she must balance her drive to strive higher with the risks and costs of gaining power. Her thoughts and actions felt incredibly real and I felt myself relating to her over and over again. Fire Becomes Her is a great read that I recommend to everyone, especially if you want great LGBTQ+ rep in books! I read this novel as part of the Aspec Book Club, and I can say that it has not only amazing aspec rep, but also lesbian and trans rep!
