Review:
Drama, angst, and relationships. If you like all that, you’d probably like this book much better than I did.
Ruby, Arcus, and Kai, along with a small group of ships, are setting sail for the Isle of Night in order to finally defeat the evil spirits plaguing both the Frostbloods and Firebloods and the god that created them.
For me, it wasn’t the best finale. Ruby is still a fiery brat and now she’s ridiculously superpowered and politically important and just so special I could barely handle all her specialness. Yes, I know she had an evil being inside her that was influencing her words and actions, but she still said stuff and hurt Arcus and Kai, who’ve literally been there for her. All. The. Time. Even more than usual, I felt like she didn’t deserve either of them, especially Arcus. To have a healthy relationship, he needs to be able to trust her, and she broke that trust every other page. She’d apologize, and he’d forgive her, and then she’d do it all over again with no remorse.
It was infuriating.
Supporting cast were excellent, as per usual, and we got some nice little mythological action there in this book, so that was cool.
No spoilers, but the ending was much better and earned all of the stars I gave for this book, so I send my fleet of Fireblood ships to support you in making it through ;)
