If you read Frostblood and enjoyed it then you'll love this one just as much. It had the same feel as the first while progressing our story forward and giving our favourite characters a chance to grow.
LIKES
- I loved that we got to meet a ton of new characters in this book! Not that I didn't like the others but I especially loved these new ones.
- Most of this book takes place down south with the firebloods which was awesome. I was glad we got to learn so much about them since the last book was all about the frostbloods.
- I really enjoyed reading about the three trials that Ruby had to take. It let her grow her powers which I was really glad to see.
- I love that this world has it's own set of mythology. I loved that we got to learn a ton more about it in this book!
- Ruby grows up a lot in this book. I especially love how she doesn't do everything Arcus says without question. She makes her own decisions and will do what she wants AND what she thinks will help Arcus. Their romance is one of the cutest things.
DISLIKES
- There's some big news about Ruby that gets revealed and I can't decide if I love it or if it was too typical of a trope. It wasn't bad but I think we'll have to wait to see how it progresses.
- The storyline with the Minax could get a little confusing. I think I like the idea of them but it could have been executed a little better.
