Zara never wanted to marry the prince. However, she doesn't
have a choice now that she has been dragged from her only
home. Now that she is at the castle, the question is what
she can do with the power she has. The prince's father has
been oppressing people for years, and with the help of her
guard, Devlan, Zara will try to save the country.
Trisha Wolfe's FIREBLOOD is full of danger, action, and
heart-pounding romance. Told in a very Camelot-esque
fashion, the love triangle in this story is full of swoons.
What I especially enjoy are the dynamics between
Zara, Devlan, and Prince Sebastian. It is not a simple case
of choosing one person, as Zara tends to lean far more
towards one than the other, but it's a choice of which way
she can save her people. I like how the rebellion is not
glorified, nor is the kingdom. They both have faults and
virtues which Zara notices, and either direction she takes
could lead her to being controlled or even being killed. The
journey she takes in learning to reason through everything
and in learning where her heart truly lies is wonderful to
read, and it keeps you from putting the book down.
There are points in the story where Zara's character got a
little frustrating for me. Though I do love her journey and
really like her as a character, sometimes it feels like the
choices she makes take a long time to happen, and they feel
drawn out. Some of the romance seems a bit rushed,
especially when she meets both men for the first time.
However, you do get to see her learn to care for them and
figure out their personality later on, and that balances the
other out well.
Overall, I would definitely read a sequel to FIREBLOOD or
re-read it. I wish the world building had gone into more
detail, because it is fascinating. The characters for
the most part are great and relatable, and the writing is
full of skill. If you enjoy Camelot-type stories or
dystopian/medieval mixes in worlds, I would recommend
FIREBLOOD by Trisha Wolfe.
To save a kingdom, Zara must choose between a prince who
could be the answer and a rising rebellion that threatens to
take control.
When Zara Dane is chosen to marry Prince Sebastian Hart, son
of the man who ordered her father's capture, Zara knows she
must fight to save everything she loves from ruin. Being
betrothed to the prince means a life trapped behind the
towering stone walls of the Camelot-forged realm. Under the
watchful eye of the prince's first knight, Sir Devlan Capra,
changing her future becomes difficult.
When an unlikely rebel reveals the truth about the deadly
secrets that fuel King Hart's twisted world, Zara's path to
rescue her father becomes clouded by deception. The Rebels
clear her path by forcing Zara's hand with an ultimatum:
sway Prince Sebastian to join the Rebels, convincing him of
his father's evil nature, or they will take him out. But
Zara is uncertain about a future under the Rebels' command
and where the prince's heart truly lies. She must decide who
to trust, what to believe, and what she's truly fighting for
before the king destroys all of Karm, including her heart.
