In Trials of Fire and Rebirth by Edith Pawlicki, Nig and Karana learn that the more they avoid their fears the more the fear increases. I love the Asian mythology incorporated into the storyline. Mythology always reminds us that we can learn from the mistakes of those who came before us. What I love about @edithpawlicki writing is that she writes melodrama without any excess drama. We are there in a mythical world with fluid characters and can embrace their acceptance, empathy, and exploration. The biggest lesson I’ve learned from the Immortal Beings series is things won’t be easy but take the path you choose and those who truly understand you will follow.
