Review
Firelight is a brilliant debut ripe with romance and intrigue.
The romance between Miranda and Archer is electric. From the first time he sees her, when she is only nineteen, he wants her. Instead of swooping in and taking her, he makes sure that she is ready to be his. He waits for her.
I love how Miranda doesn’t take anything siting down. She doesn’t let Archer tell her what to do. If she did let him have complete control their relationship wouldn’t have worked. She needed him to realize how important he was to her and how she could truly help him.
The only part of the story that didn’t truly work for me was Miranda’s gift. I finished the book not understanding where exactly it had come from and why she had it. I didn’t feel that it truly fit with the rest of the story. With the unusual aspects of Archer and his abilities it seemed like overkill for Miranda to have the gift of fire.
The storyline is rich. Someone is killing Archer’s friends and trying to frame him. He must uncover who it is while keeping Miranda safe. The writing is gripping and kept me reading way into the night. I had to know exactly what Archer was and who the bad guy was.
What made this book so wonderful is the writing. The tale has an epic feeling and is utterly enchanting. I can’t wait to read more by this author.
