A review by oakamoore
Heart of Flames by Nicki Pau Preto

2.0

Extremely repetitive narrative; characters come to the same conclusions after engaging in actions they already known the outcome of. The same old "revelations" are repeated as though they're new, and those that are new are made painfully obvious before their reveal.  

Nothing seems to actually be happening, viewpoints are being shifted between, but no discernible progress is being made. Half of the viewpoints themselves feel peripheral and unimportant, unless they somehow loosely involve the protagonist. 

Same pacing issue the previous book suffered from, due to the incessant (and mostly irrelevant) inner character monologues.
