Calenor Trilogy #2
Throne & Fire
War is coming.
It has been almost a year since the Dragonbitten warned the king and queen of the coming invasion. Now, the Kadians sail for Calenor and the fate of the kingdom rests with two young women. Elana Montaire Valentine never imagined she would be queen, let alone queen of a country facing an invasion. There are no lessons to be found in the history books, she must find her own path beside Ennis. Together, they need to find a way to defeat this oncoming enemy while struggling to unite their divided country. Navigating court politics is almost as dangerous as war itself, especially when so many nobles still distrust the Dragonbitten.
Elian Wilding, no longer hunted, now serves the king and queen of Calenor as the Dragonbitten. Even with her strength and power from the black dragon, she misses her friendship with Kellan. The distance between them only grows as the impending war sends Elian on a hunt for answers and Kellan helps lead men to meet the invading army. Time is running out as the Kadians approach the shores of Calenor. Elian's search leaves her with more questions and if she wants to find the answers and make her way back to Kellan, she will have to confront her lingering fears about the dragon blood in her veins.

Throne and Fire is such an exciting sequel to the first book. We get to see the new lives that Elana and Elian life, how they are trying to find their place into Kingshold.
The worldbuilding is once again top-notch. We discover more of the world, the Lords that rule under Ennis and opposing kingdoms. But also some of the history of Calenor, which is something I can always appreciate in books.
We also get to see the growth of both Elana and Elian and both in their own ways. They have some hard choices to make along the line that once again will change their lives for good. One of them getting dealt the hardest cards in my opinion.
This story kept me reading as the court life and the dangers keep growing. It had me suspicious and second guessing certai characters at some moment and not to forget the twists and turns. One of which had me crying! It has me so curious to see how this will develop into the next book. (I'm trying to write my reviews withiut spoilers, so I'm sorry if some things are confusing but to make this longer review short; read this series if you love dragons, a changeling and a smart lady that speaks her mind.)

Like the first book, this sequel was all about dragons, badass females, and romance that don’t drive me bonkers😂
Here’s what I’m loving about this series:
What I enjoy about this high fantasy series:
*Dragons
*Dual POV
*HEALTHY relationships
*Unapologetic women (I live for when Elana puts people in their place.)
*Action & Adventure
*Dragons (did I mention that yet?)
l'll admit this book is a bit slower than the first but that's normal in an epic trilogy. Plus, this book is where we see how far Elana and Elain have come as they deal with court life and war strategy.
