A review by paleflyer
The Providence of Fire by Brian Staveley

4.0

I enjoyed it overall. It started out a lot slower, didn't grip me as much as book one until nearer the end (maybe due to more Adare, my least favorite character... Her constant flares of temper are either overdone or poorly written. Thank goodness for Kaden, who really has a better handle on his emotions, thanks to the Shin).

It's a very bloody book. There are some really interesting twists and turns that give more insight into the history of this world. The overarching story and lore are what shine in this book, more than any of the main characters themselves. I'm very interested in how Valyn will adapt to his more Hullish life in book three...
