Trigger Warning: mentions of rape.
Joanne is back to her badass powerful self! She also discovered that she had fire powers now too. (Which was cool to learn about.)
After an intense and exciting beginning, Joanne spends the whole middle of the book going on worthless side quests.
I really wish there wasn't a love triangle brewing with Lewis. I don't like Lewis, but it's not like I care about David anymore either. Almost all of the parts with David were just lust related…
At first I was glad Cherise was still in it, then she kept flirting with Kevin. Seriously?! He's a psychopathic teenager who is always described as scroungy and unbathed.
Did I like Imara? Sort of? Unfortunately, she would've made a better main character than Joanne. (Since they're exactly alike but Imara has more interesting powers.)
The ending was good. Suitably exciting. The author does know how you write endings. That's how most of the books are, just okay and then a good ending. Which keeps me reading. That and the cliffhangers…
So I decided to read book 6, but I kinda wish I hadn't. Although books 3-5 weren't nearly as good as 1-2, they still added to the series. 6-8 weren't necessary and just drew things out too long.

They really needed to wrap up the whole Eamon part last time and I didn't like Emily, the new earth & fire warden, or the whole part with her.I really wish there wasn't a love triangle brewing with Lewis.
