    About this audiobook

    New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan’s romantic, sweeping fantasy Reign of Shadows continues in this suspenseful sequel, Rise of Fire.

    Luna and Fowler have escaped the kingdom of Relhok, but they haven’t escaped the darkness. When a battle against the dark dwellers mortally injures Fowler, Luna is faced with a choice: put their fate in the hands of mysterious strangers or risk losing Fowler forever.

    Desperate to keep the one bright part of her life alive, Luna accepts the help of soldiers from a nearby kingdom. Lagonia’s castle offers reprieve from the dangerous outside world—until the King discovers both Fowler and Luna’s true ties to Relhok and their influence over the throne.

    Now pawns in each kingdom’s political game, Luna and Fowler are more determined than ever to escape and build the life they’ve been dreaming of. But their own pasts have a tight hold on their hearts and their destinies. Luna must embrace the darkness and fire within her before she loses not only Fowler but the power she was destined to inherit.

      This is the second, and apparently, the final book in the story that began with Reign of Shadows. It begins just after the last book ends. Fowler has been captured and dragged underground by the Dwellers and blind Luna has followed, determined to rescue him. She manages that but not before Fowler has been infected with the Dweller's toxin which is almost always fatal.A group of soldiers from the nearby country of Lagonia finds them as Luna is trying to keep him comfortable. One of the soldiers recognizes Fowler as the son of the King of Relhok and knows that the King of Lagonia wants him. Luna, still disguised as a boy, agrees to go with them since they promise to get Fowler to a healer who can save his life. They meet another hunting party on the way to the king's city. This one is led by Prince Chasan who immediately recognizes that Luna is a girl. It is his father King Tebald who recognizes her as the rightful Queen of Relhok because of her resemblance to her mother. He develops immediate plans to use both Luna and Fowler to further his goals. Neither Luna nor Fowler are in favor of these plans which involve them marrying the king's son and daughter but Tebald has all the power is is quite ruthless.Their only hope is to escape and continue on to a possible refuge. Their first attempt fails but Tebald's next move gains them an ally in the castle. This was an entertaining fantasy story. It was both exciting and romantic. I liked Luna as a heroine who was smart, brave, and determined and who managed to triumph over a major handicap. Fantasy lovers will enjoy this series.

      I don't know if it's the fast pace, interesting plot, or abundance of dialogue, but this series stands out among other fantasies. The premise is so dark and eerie, yet the passion within the pages is fire! There are monsters of human and creature form and there are secrets hidden in every corner...

      This sequel picks up where book one left off... Luna and Fowler are separated and it's up to Luna to fight the dwellers for Fowler's safety. When she finds him underground though, it is a tad too late. He needs medical attention which leads them both to a new kingdom full of controlling people and hate. When their secrets are revealed the King does everything in his power to betroth them and unite kingdoms. Enter Chasan: The cocky, yet sumptuous prince that favors Luna. I felt so guilty, but I actually REALLY liked him like A LOT. His exterior may have been hard, but beneath the tough layer, was kindness. Luna and Fowler play the King's games for a while, but their ultimate goal is to escape. When they finally break free it's not at all what you expect. HOLY CRAP, Luna is a BADA$$ and that ending!... Just one more reason to love this series.

      Why 4 stars you ask? Well book one set the standards too high... In Reign we met new characters, found out secrets, and explored a new creepy world. It's pages of firsts and I don't think any sequel could live up to that kind of perfect. I'm not sure if the Author plans to write a book 3, but I'm pretty sure I'd read infinite books about these characters. It's a fantastic, unique world.

      The Reign of Shadows series is a duology and you won't want to jump into REIGN OF FIRE without first reading REIGN OF SHADOWS or nothing will make sense. We saw Luna and Fowler get really close, then watched things blow up a a bit between them at the end of REIGN OF SHADOWS. In book two, we continue to get a lot of Luna and Fowler moments, but some new love interests are introduced which kind of throws their connection off again. Get ready for a lot of jealousy and fighting feelings. The fact that Luna is blind didn't bother me at all in the first book, but for some reason in REIGN OF FIRE, it was just odd. You would forget that she was blind, then something would happen to make it clear she was and then you would again wonder how the heck she was doing what she was doing. I don't know why it was such a big deal for me now. It seemed to 'fit' into REIGN OF SHADOWS, but it was out of place in REIGN OF FIRE. The story has a nice pace to it and a bit of a different feel than book one—which didn't bother me at all. I enjoyed the addition of some of the new characters and felt they really added something great to the storyline. Although I liked the ending, it felt rushed. I would have liked to see the resolution of the story last a little longer than it did. After all was said and done, the story was interesting, but it didn't totally blow me away.* This book was provided free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
