olivia_v21 's review for:

Commanding Flame and Shield by S.J. Barnett
2.5

the book just wasn’t well written. the plot was confusing and many of the elements alluded to in the excerpt were not met. there were large time jumps and overall not great. one of the main reasons for the “we can’t do this because this” (which was a major plot point) was flimsy and frustrating. however it was an interesting concept. i mainly finished the book out of spite but would not recommend.
