5 stars!!! - Contender for Favorite book of the year (August 2o24) 

This series is quickly becoming one of my favorite series!! I am so grateful to the booktube community for screaming about this series from the rooftops in their videos! It truly gets better with each book in my opinion! This book is chunky and I intentionally split this one up into reading half of it in July and the other half in August! This was only because of the readathon Battleathon hosted by Mellenorereads. I knew by the 48% mark that this book was going to be 5 stars and I wanted to count it as a 5 star read for team Thorns for Battleathon! 

This book didn't let me down for a second. I absolutely love Luther he is officially my book boyfriend for the year and I don't know if anyone is going to top his character for a long time. He has set the standards for me and I am not turning back! 

Diem is honestly not my favorite main character ever written I think she makes irrational decisions throughout this book and honestly she was starting to get on my nerves a bit towards the end. BUT somehow Penn Cole makes it work. I have so many questions regarding Diem and her background and history. I really hope we get some answers whenever the final book comes out. 

All of the different side characters is really what is doing it for me with this series! There is so much happening at all times and I just want to know all the things! The last few chapters of this book were wild and I am very curious how the final book is going to wrap everything that happened up! I think the last book the side characters are going to SHINE and SHOW UP!! 

Burn of the Everflame has become my most anticipated book release of 2024! I really hope they don't keep us waiting much longer! And I would really like the know if anyone knows if the new editions of Spark of the Everflame are going to be coming out in paperback anytime soon... unfortunately I missed out on the original copies before they went out of print...
