A Storm of Smoke and Flame | Marion Blackwood
2 posts | 1 read
What would you do to protect your home? Lie? Manipulate? Kill? War awaits across the sea. In order to ensure their survival, the Oncoming Storm and a band of misfits set sail for the land beyond the horizon. In a country where the power structure is as strange as the language, their desperate mission to secure a lasting peace will take them on a journey through halls of power and dark back alleys alike. Trusting the wrong person could get them all killed, but without help from the locals they have no chance of succeeding. They can only hope that they have placed their faith in the right people. In addition to the constant outside threats, tensions also run high within the group. Working together turns out to be far harder than anticipated, and cracks form in the bonds between them as personalities clash and weapons are drawn. Relationships will be tested and strained to the breaking point when a surprise betrayal forces secrets long buried into the light. The deck is stacked against them and hidden threats lurk around every corner. Can they accomplish their mission despite the overwhelming odds? Or will they end up killing each other instead?

Mehso-so

This series finally got bumped up a little notch in terms of my rating! I still have my same old gripes about the writing style because that hasn‘t changed at all, but this book definitely added a little more to the plot that I thoroughly enjoyed. The characters still mostly seem on the flat side, but the character I love so much is getting fleshed out slowly but surely. So, I‘ll take a win when I can find one at this point 😂 3.5/5 ⭐️s from me!

Ugh, what can I say? When it comes to certain characters, I‘m loyal to a fault. Third book in this series, and though the writing style continues to be insanely repetitive and monotone, a few aspects of the story intrigue me. I‘ve contemplated how much I wish I could give up this series, but I‘m hooked by one character 🤦🏼‍♀️ There are seven books total to this series, so it has to get better. Right? Fingers crossed for this next read! 🤞
