Inherit the Flame by Megan E. O'Keefe
4.0

I was so excited to read this book but at the same time sad because this is the last book in the scorched continent trilogy. There’s always a bit of anxiety for me when it comes to reading the last book in a series that I’ve absolutely loved. You are always hoping that it will do the series justice and end well. I’m sad that it is over but this is the ending that the series deserved.

The brilliant characters, witty banter and high stakes were all there and I am so glad this was up to the standard of the previous two books. All of the characters come back for one final adventure, everything in the series so far cumulates in one very big problem for Detan and the crew to solve.

I would say that there were certain parts that I don’t think were intertwined as well as they could have been and, especially at the start, I felt like Detan was a little bit TOO lost for me. But then I always like my characters to have an ace up their sleeve. It was still a very enjoyable read and I think anyone who likes reading heist/con-men books like The Gentleman Bastards or Six of Crows should give this series a read. It’s a bit lighter and more fun but still in the same vein with plenty of action, cleverness and heartbreaking moments.
