Kate The Great's Reviews > Glow of the Everflame

** spoiler alert ** This book was not nearly as good or consistent as the first. It felt like a corny YA hot mess snooze fest:

Diem desperately needs to grow up. She was a extremely immature and overly emotional character. Her family and Luther deserved a lot better. She also clearly didn't love Henri and still insisted on calling him her fiancé for most of the book which was frustrating AF to keep reading about. She constantly made contradicting statements that she wanted to be a queen of justice and equality for all but would still refuse to accept the Guardians were a radical terrorist organization. She also had a horrible habit of interrupting everyone especially at the end.

The ending was so over the top, corny and DUMB. I was relieved when it was over.

It did not break my heart that her father died because the author didn't set up that relationship very strong. What broke my heart was the potential this book could of had given how amazing the first one was.
