Okay, I just didn’t care about anything that was happening in this book. I almost DNF’d several times but I honestly hate doing that. I’m not sure two books were necessary for the story but that is completely my opinion. I don’t really have much to say about it. I was just glad when it was over.

4.5 I will always love Dravyn and Karys. They're forever my favorites. Their relationship is so beautifully written and their patience and understanding towards one another is goal-worthy.
I appreciate S.M. Gaither for writing Karys the way that she did. I have NEVER seen a character have the kind of OCD and anxiety that I have. There is one spot where she is contemplating if she's simply walking incorrectly and it's causing the problems that are occurring, and that broke my heart because I have been there, wondering if I don't do a basic thing in a specific way because it crossed my brain, will something go belly-up because I didn't do better. Her love for lists and making logical ends meet was so relatable for me. I've seen neurodivergency in a lot of books, but never have I seen it to that specific of a degree, and it was so refreshing yet also vulnerable to read, and I loved it, so HUGE props for that.
Moth is still everything. So read this duology then come scream with me about it.

Worth the read!
This was a good follow up book in the Flame and Sparrow Duology. The story felt a little rushed in some places but ultimately the ending was satisfying. I had a good time with this book

Great close to the duology!! Loved the story of rebirth and how Kary’s powers connected to not just Draven, but the whole court.

this was a lovely conclusion to this duology, and I am still yearning for a glass blowing, fire god to whisk me away to the middle heavens.
Karys and Dravyn, and their gaggle of friends/allies must figure out a way to de-escalate the growing conflict between the humans and the elves before something too cataclysmic to recover from occurs. Through their efforts, we get a story about forgiveness, of others and yourself, and benefits of being open minded and letting your perspectives change, to let go of old hatreds, and to fight for peace even when it seems unlikely.
the epilogue to this book nearly took me out; it was such a beautiful sentiment of how there can be better days ahead if we only have the bravery to fight for them today.
my only qualm was that the ending was a bit…vague? I wasn’t sure *how* exactly things resolved. only that I was told that it resolved. I wish there was a bit better of an explanation of what exactly happened but I still really enjoyed the book up to that point and afterwards.

Oooh, I loved this book. I loved this series.
BUT the ending just left me feeling a little.. empty. I'm grateful that the epilogue reinforced Dravyn and Karys' love and the lengths they'd go to in order to be together but it left my heart a little achey.
