Review
Holy shit guys! After devouring Frostblood I was in desperate need of Fireblood and now I'm in desperate need of the final book - Nightblood, holy crap! Elly Blake has seriously met my expectations with book 2. Following Ruby to Sudesia - land of the Firebloods, was one of hell of a fricking journey.
With the aftermath of destroying the Ice throne and some hella life threatening discoveries, Arcus is the rightful king of a divided country of Frostbloods. And Ruby and Brother Thistle search every book to find a way to destroy the Minax. But will they succeed? Personally I was worried that Arcus would be different hence the reason for a new guy, but despite things not going as planned I can confirm Arcus is very much still our beloved Arcus. Just like Frostblood, this book does contain some cliche YA tropes which I won't name because they are intricately embedding into the plot and to be honest they fit in well.
The vast different from Tempesia and Sudesia was amazing. Personally I may have a soft spot for Sudesia and Firebloods - the simply notion of wielding fire and the way they do is stunning. Ruby once again, is an amazing protagonist to see this story unfold through, but the after math of destroying the throne has left her shaken but determined nonetheless. Her inner struggle for freedom from the visions and her battle for her feeling for Kai was interesting. Despite knowing there was going to be another guy on the scene, I instantly liked Kai and his easy demeanor. I just hope things end well for all three of them because I care for them all and I truly despise love triangles.
The plot was amazing, again I guessed some of the plot twists but other were hella surprising. New characters were simply an amazing addition to the current cast. I really liked the Queen of Sudesia and Prince Eiko. Seriously likable characters. I really enjoyed the added storied of all the gods. This was a mind-blowing sequel, and Elly had outdone herself creating something far more intricate and engaging. Step into a journey to the south, where Sudesia calls for Ruby, and beware of the lava that burns hotter than Firebloods.
