Marta Cox's Reviews > Consort of Fire

A fabulous beginning to this new series which sees these authors leaving behind a dystopian setting and taking on the challenges of a fantasy world. In terms of world building definitely a success as we get fully immersed in landscapes and a society that is heavily tied to the Gods .
A pact was made that every one hundred years a member of the royal family would become the Consort of Ash, the Dragon and this time it's the turn of Sachi but she's not exactly the Princess that the Gods expected. With secrets of her own and a mission that definitely doesn't promise peace !
Ok I loved the previous works by this duo and was so happy to see them taking on a fantasy romance and yes this is a romance. There's very little action and the real story here revolves around passion and a love that can only come with complete trust. If you don't enjoy the idea of a more open relationship then perhaps this might not entirely be for you however Sachi and Zanya truly love each other and Ash is desperate for love. I was totally surprised by just how much he wanted romance and love, this possessive, powerful male will truly do anything for Sachi. The authors could have made either him or Zanya the third wheel but no and I admit it's more about Sachis pleasure than anyone else's. It makes it more believable that Ash and Zanya love Sachi and as Ash and Zanya slowly take each other's measure a different dynamic is formed. Ok admittedly Zanya was my favourite character and I want a lot more of her ! There is a development in the latter part of this story that should hopefully allow for more action and a little less steam but I know some readers always want more. I'm intrigued by what is to come and look forward to the next instalment.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair
