A review by nelliereadsalot
Of Flame and Fury by Mikayla Bridge

3.0

Of Flame and Fury is a standalone story about Kel, who is involved in phoenix racing and through a series of events, is pushed towards a rider who she hasn't liked in the past. They end up in a situation and working with a person who may have more interest in the phoenixes than racing alone. I really liked the concept of phoenix racing and it wasn't something I'd read about before. It definitely like there was potential for more than one book being set in this world.

I struggled with the pacing a bit. For me, it felt like we got some good setup at the beginning, but then there was a chunk of time where not a ton happened, only for ALL THE THINGS to happen at the end that there could have been more hints along the way. The eARC I received was missing the epilogue, and I've heard that it is important so I will get my hands on that as soon as I can.

Thanks to Macmillan Children's Publishing Group and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
