This series is amazing! I love Joss Stirling's writing style and I really, really loved Meri and Kel. I'm a little bit sad it's over though

It's my favourite book in the series I think. It feels a lot more polished than the other ones, the plot and tension overall was very good and the pace was great. There were no dull or boring moments and it felt like we were always moving towards something.

This series was one hell of a ride
This book gave a good ending to the rollecoaster we've been through. Although the ending was a little rushed , we got to see the Ade's perspective.
I like how there where many character developments. Meri got to develope more of her leadership skills. Ade realized what Kel had been trying to explain to him all this time, and "rebelled" against his uncle. And we got to see Lee's soft side, especially with the kids.
I love how Joss wrote about how the climate change would affect us, and the world of poverty. We could see how the No-Homers survived, by supporting each other. Also, every character, throughout the series, developed a lot after leaving the perilous house. They were able to go through new experiences, and develop new friendships. Meri got to meet Anna, and Tean Sympathy. Kel got to meet Hoon, Rashid, and Nixie. Ade and Lee got to meet Jace and Lorna.
The unyielding friendship between Ade, Kel, and Lee was another thing I loved the most. Ade wanted to believe in Kel, even after Kel rejected him many times. Kel was also the one who went to get Ade out of jail, even if Meri didn't want him to. Lastly, Lee had an impression that he despised Kel, but he TRIED to kill Meri (not one of my favourite moments) just to protect Kel.
Overall, this book series was AMAZING.

The final book in the series, and things get only more intense. I truly enjoy Joss Stirling' writing, and her unique fantasy worlds.
Meri is sick and tired of the war. I am fully behind her, a war based on prejudice will only end in destruction of both sides.
Even Ade slowly starts to realize that maybe they were not completely right. Though the pressure from his uncle might ruin it all.
Meanwhil Meri is connecting with some surprising allies, finding her place and voice among her people. With Kel by her side, and I love how supportive he is in this all.
The ending is a bit rushed, and even a bit too clean. I'm happy with how everything turned out for Meri, Kel and even Ade.

Flare is a very satisfying conclusion to the Peril trilogy. You definitely won't be disappointed!
As in Peril and Glow, Meri and Kel fight for their love to be accepted and for their people to stop their age-old war. The book picks up shortly after they escaped Atlantis in Glow with a large crew of their friends and supporters.
The impact of global warming and climate change on the world is an important part of this book again. It's very realistic and well portayed.
One of my personal highlight in this book was Ade's POV, which is the main one in about half the chapters. It's very endearing and relatable.
Prepare yourselves for a great story of love, friendship, and acceptance as well as for a lot of twists.

Too short to make a fully formed story.
Unfortunately unlike Finding Sky or others of her books I find this series too short in order to develop the story properly. The ending is too sudden and rushed as if she couldn't go over 300 pages.
The background of the rich history which is always referred to but never properly developed is also lacking, it is too bad because the premise is really good.

This book was a very satisfying ending to the series and I liked the ending... I want more of these books, but all good things must come to an end. It didn't feel as pacy as the other two novels in the series, but this is natural in the conclusion to a series, where everything has to be wrapped up. I was lucky enough to be an early reader of Flare, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I'm looking forward to the next series!

Much preferred this book to the second one, might even compete for the spot of favorite over the first! Lots of tension without it feeling like it was dragging. The story wasn't easily predictable and the ending was really satisfying. I'm really sad this series is over!!!
