Fireblood

Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair review.

Crying because it's over. Ah this book. I can't wait to get my grubby hands on Nightblood now and I just can see Elly Blake's writing getting much better too!

I feel like Ruby's character is much more enhanced in this book compared to in Frostblood. Perhaps this is due to her being away from Arcus, and being surrounded by the likes of Kai who brings out a different side of her personality? Much more feistyness, and fun. Kai and Ruby's scenes are full of banter (flanter) ;P which add humour and also excitement in the romance department. Plus Kai is hilarious, just so charming and witty, Arcus on the other hand I got a bit annoyed with as he was being selfish and such a little biatch. He's like a cold guy with a fiery temperament at times. Though, like Ruby, he has a stubborn streak. Ruby develops an attraction to Kai, but Arcus fans don't worry, I think it's pretty obvious she'll stick with him. If so, I've already got a new possible candidate in mind for lovely Kai (alas, it isn't me I'm saddened to say Haha).

Anyway, there is more action in this book, and we learn more about the gods, the minax, and so on. And the revelation of what Ruby learns about her birthright! It makes me want to know more about her mother and also who her father is. Also her grandmother. Questions I never really had before.

Overall I really enjoyed reading this and it didn't disappoint as it was much more better than I anticipated.
