The adventure continues. The intrigue of the next calamity to hit the world had been released. There’s a deeper sense of danger, intrigue, growth, mischief. There’s something here that was not so prevalent in the previous installment of this Flame series to the Weird Girls. I feel a shadow has come over things. I had a gambit of raw, sad emotions overwhelming me throughout the read. There was much to get involved in in this Urban Fantasy and this group of women that had strength, balance, each other.
I believe that anyone could pick this up and read this and enjoy if for what it is a very good Urban Fantasy with very strong leading ladies, but to get the most of the read. I would recommend that you start from the very beginning of the Weird Girls series. If you can begin with the novellas and work your way up to the present release. This way you are there for the journey at the beginning. You can see how the world changes and becomes more, deeper, darker, more evolved. You have the chance to grow to love all the character and their quirks, insecurities, strengths, weaknesses, and more.
The Wird sisters have their own challenges to moving forward. We get to see a new phase in their ongoing drama with the dark side. The secondary characters are full of witches, vamps and more of the paranormal world that adds more flavor to the series. Keeping tabs on the others from the previous reads in the series was an added bonus. We are more or less seeing thing from Tarans’ view point.
I find myself in need of a Weird Girls weekend or two to get reacquainted with the girls and the series. This sounds like a plan for the new month coming.
Of Flame and Fate is one wild ride. The battle between good and evil continues and the fate of the Weird Girls children are at stake.
You can read this as a stand-a-lone, but I recommend at least reading Taran’s story in order or the full series in order.
Their’s an ongoing struggle against the Dark group and now a new situation has arisen that will affect the future in particular the Weird Sisters future children.
The writing is engaging and wonderful. Taran’s life is crazy, but for her it’s as stable as things get. Her and Gemini are solid, but the world around them is going up in flames. Their was no putting this one down. The book is full of Taran getting into insane situations and driving Gemini crazy and then having them share a tender moment. We get to see all five sisters and watch as they fight for their and their unborn children’s future. I like that the sister stick together even when things get dicey.
Man o’ man this one was so much fun! I was surprised with the direction things went and loved having all my favorite characters back together. We get a little more insight into Misha and Emme’s maybe romance to Bren is hinted at. Their was loads of action and two very powerful witches that shouldn’t exist at the sometime affecting the world and future.
Urban Fantasy fans will enjoy the action, emotion, enthusiasm, and humor in this high octane adventure.
