I debated reading this before starting A Court of Silver Flames. I’m not a huge fan of novellas in general, and wasn’t sure this one contained any vital information before I started reading Nesta and Cassian’s story. Turns out… I was kind of right.
This is a relatively short review since it’s for a novella.
Continue readingFirst off, a huge thank you to Harper Voyager for sending me a free copy in exchange for an honest review! It was an absolute surprise to come home and see this on my door step.
But it arrived the day the book released, so it took me a little bit to get to it since I had other books in line for the next few weeks. However, I am here! I have read it, and I have feelings!
If you haven’t read the first book, The City of Brass, this review may contain spoilers!

Oh wow, little did I know how much I would come to like all these characters. I was instantly swept up and away into this world of daevas, djinns, magic, and quite a lot of mayhem! I’m so glad getting an ARC of its sequel, The Kingdom of Copper, was the push I needed to start this series (but I’m also sad that I didn’t start this series earlier, too)!
This book wasn’t what I expected. I mean that in both a good and semi-good way, I promise.
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for giving me a free, digital copy in exchange for an honest review.
Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? My anticipation for this book was raw and pure joy. I think I did a fine job for myself by pre-ordering it as a birthday gift, considering it released the day before my birthday, lol. The book gods and Pierce Brown have blessed me tenfold and more.
After seeing some of my favorite bookstagrammers rave about this book, I decided I needed it. The unfortunate part was I didn’t have the money to buy it and my local library didn’t have it either. I wasn’t sure what to do but the great thing about the local library is you can put in a request for a book, and if they receive enough requests, they’ll buy it for their system.
Well, can you guess what happened? I did just that and violá! I read it in about 3 days, which is really saying something, lol. But it helped that I recently had a 3-day weekend. 😛
I’m not sure I can adequately form the right words to tell you how much I loved this book! I’m hitting myself because I waited so long to read it. This book came in FairyLoot’s February box, and darrrrrrnnnn, why did I not pick it up right then and there?
Oh well. Guess now I can fangirl about it. 😉

THIS is the Green Rider book I hoped for after the last one. Thank you, Kristen! I could not have been more excited to have this book in my hands (well, my Kindle Fire in my hands since I received it as an eARC), and I absolutely could not stop reading this book! After the disappointment that was Mirror Sight, I was eager to get my hands on Firebrand in hopes that everything that disappointed me in Mirror Sight would be remedied, and let me tell you it was. Even if you don’t feel the same way I do about the previous book, you will be thrilled to read this book!
I guess I’ll make a disclaimer that I did not reread the series in prep for the final book. It didn’t hinder me wholly as I went back and read my previous two reviews on it but there were some characters I forgot about. Regardless, that didn’t deter me from the story and things slowly came back to me as I continued reading.
