Review: FIRE by Aiki Flinthart

FIRE by Aiki Flinthart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This, the second book in the Kalima series, completely delivers on the promise of more to come at the end of IRON. When Alere’s twin (and Rohne) is kidnapped by slavers, the chase is on to rescue them. But so much awaits the team (Alere, Kett, Corin and Gavon) when they arrive in the slaver’s domain, even a gladiator type event (which I read with bated breath, fingers crossed).

I love this world where language is mixed, where technology has surrendered to older ways (but hasn’t been forgotten) and where the most interesting Houses of both trades and talents play a huge role. The fighting styles are amazing too! Add to that strange creatures in both water and air, and on land, and every step is an adventure in discovery.

FIRE is definitely about fire; the fire of the chase, the fire of emotions and the fire of standing up against terrible authority. Well worth reading, but do read IRON first, not because you won’t ‘get’ what happens here – because this is an excellent series and you simply must read all of it!
