I lost almost all of my interest in this series while about 25% through A Fire Endless, for no apparent reason at all. I’m having a hard time thinking of anything to say about it because my apathy is speaking very loudly right now. I really liked the first book (a Scottish inspired fantasy with romantic elements), even if it wasn’t a favorite or anything, but by the time I got to this one I just didn’t care anymore! I honestly could have DNFed and never thought about it again. This does not seem to be the average reaction! Especially for people who liked the first book, as I did. I can’t explain it!
Like, I can’t even tell you anything that is objectively wrong here, at all. Not very much of a useful review, in terms of y’all being like okay that is a helpful piece of information! More useful probably is that the consensus on this book is that it is a good ending to the duology. Many people whose opinions I trust on Goodreads have said it was better than A River Enchanted!
I don’t know why I’m trying to hype up this book I have literally no feelings for.
I would bet a large sum of money (if I had it) that I will not be able to remember most of the things that happened in this book, or even the characters’ names (I have already forgotten most of them as I’m typing this) by October. Rebecca Ross’s newest book, Divine Rivals, looks really interesting to me, but I’m very wary of it now after what happened with this whole situation.
