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.
