The Legion of Flame by Anthony Ryan

5.0

Such a great sequel! Everything I expected, and more than I hoped for. The story follows the three main characters of Clay, Lizanne, and Hillmore, but also adds in an extremely unexpected and interesting perspective from the heartsick Sirius. The diverging storylines are each solidly epic in their own way and packed to the brim with adventure and action as the Empire begins to fall. The lore of the drakes is further explained and expanded upon through character experiences and with the help of one of my new favourite characters, Kriz. While I loved basically every character, it was Clay's story that gained the most interest for me. He's grown so much from his brawling introduction, and I'm dying to see what happens to him given how his final chapter ended! Lizanne turned out to be way darker than I anticipated, but I still found her to be wonderfully complex. Hillmore had some of the coolest adventures, and I want to see more of him. All told, this was a fantastic follow-up to a great series, and I can't wait to find out what happens next!
