ARC review 💫✨ 3.75 stars!

A Tribute of Fire was a glimpse into the fantasy realm of fictional Ancient Greece, with magic and malice at every turn.

This book is perfect your “new adult” fantasy/ mythology lovers looking for a fresh story. I especially loved the easter egg references to different elements of Greek mythology (the battle of troy, locrian maidens, politics and squabbles between gods).

Lia is a strong FMC who stops at nothing to achieve her goals. She loves fiercely and fights for what she believes in, even if it means sacrificing herself. The found family & sisterhood she creates was such a special element! Jason is a mysterious love interest who had me questioning a lot of morals… but like not in a bad way….

What’s holding me back from giving this book a higher rating is the pacing. I absolutely LOVED the first 1/3- it was fast paced, the romantic tension was off the charts, and the world was brutal and intriguing. From there the pace slowed down a lot for me, and I found myself wanting things to progress faster with less back and forth between characters over the same issues.

Thank you to the author for an ARC!

I have read every book Sariah Wilson has written, and I can unequivocally say that this is her best one.

Swoony heroes are a given, and Jason was no exception. Lia was an amazing, multi layered heroine and I loved her journey and growth (so far, there's more to go).

The mythology references were enthralling. I want to fall down a greek mythology rabbit hole to learn more about what is "real" and what the author developed or embellished for the story.

Also, I found the writing style really well suited. It had a vaguely modern feel that made the story easier to digest without going so far as to disrupt the tone and jar you out of the setting. A really well done blend that I have noticed some authors have difficulty with lately.

And finally, I need the next book immediately, please.

A Tribute of Fire is the perfect blend of fantasy and romance. I loved that it was set in Ancient Greece and based on one of its myths. It's engaging with great action, romance, and twists and turns.
