4.0
Book Review: Of Flame and Fury
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5 stars)
Of Flame and Fury is a gripping young adult fantasy that delivers fast-paced action, moral complexity, and a refreshingly original setting. Centered around a world of phoenixes and high-stakes racing, this novel explores the timeless question of whether the end justifies the means, all while keeping readers on the edge of their seats.
The story excels in worldbbuilding. The setting is rich, vibrant, and immersive. The phoenixes and their connection to the races add a unique and captivating layer to the fantasy landscape. I found the setting to be one of the strongest aspects of the book, drawing me in from the first few pages and holding me until the end.
While there is a romance subplot, it never overshadows the central themes or the fantasy elements. Instead, the relationship adds emotional depth without detracting from the plot’s momentum. It feels like the perfect setup for a sequel that could dive deeper into the romance without sacrificing the story's integrity.
This is an easy book to binge. The writing is accessible without being simplistic, making it a great pick for both seasoned fantasy readers and newcomers to the genre.
If you’re looking for a YA fantasy with high-stakes action, moral tension, and a world that’s both vivid and exciting, Of Flame and Fury is absolutely worth the read. I’m eagerly awaiting book two to see where the romance and the rising tension lead next.
