sgwill 's review for:

Fire Becomes Her by Rosiee Thor

2.0

---

I was so excited when I saw the cover of The Fire Becomes her, and after reading the synopsis I felt like it was something I could love. I had such high hopes, but for me the book fell a bit flat.
For a significant part of the book I was completely enthralled. The overall story was something that I felt connected with, and I could for the most part understand where the main character was coming from. The character development was lacking. The main characters had pieces of their personalities that could have been interesting but were written in a way that made them feel a bit uninteresting and not very cohesive. For the storyline, I was able to push through all of that until towards the end I found myself getting more and more disappointed with the direction the story was taking. The book became predictable in all the worst ways, including giving away an important plot detail that made what should have been the climax just another part of the story.
All in all it’s not a book I could see myself reading again, and it’s not something I can see myself recommending to someone else.
