Despertar da Chama Eterna

4.5 ☆'sI've had this series on my 'want to read' list for about a year and now, thanks to a reading challenge and a buddy read, I finally got round to it. I really wish I hadn't left it so long as I've loved it. I went in blind as I often do, the first couple of chapters really sparked my interested and within the next couple, I was hooked! I love the mystery and intrigue of the story, from the disappearance, to the connection between characters and of course the magic. Diem our FMC is a force to be reckoned with. Not one to follow the rules, she will risk all to protect those that need it. She's a real feisty character and I enjoyed reading about her rebellious acts. The ending to many chapters, gave me a need to keep reading, unable to put it down, I was so caught up and had to know what happened next. I borrowed this copy but I already know I'm going to need a trophy copy! Another author with a brilliant debut book, I can't wait to read the next one.

It was a fun read but the fmc was a bit annoying sometimes and the plot was pretty predictable and convenient at some points.
