This was an entertaining and enjoyable read! It's a quick and easy character driven story with love, betrayal, dark magic and more! I especially liked the magic. It was different and something I haven't seen before, especially the elemental magic. The main character is young and naive and some of her decisions I didn't really agree with but she is still figuring out who she is. It will be interesting to see her character grow and develop as the series continues! The love triangle between Raven, Zeke and Cade! I will be rooting for Cade! Overall it was a well written action packed story! Thank Katie and Brey and Whitney Dean for sharing this book with me!

Ready for your next addicting read? Because here it is. What a way to start off a series! Raven is an amazing lead, and there's so much mystery surrounding her. The other characters were awesome, and I loved following their arcs. The romance arc was steamy (about mid-level), and it was fun to see it play out. Dean also did an excellent job building an immersive fantasy world, and it's so easy to get lost in the pages. A great dark romantic fantasy book overall. ( )

Nothing predestined Raven, a young ten years old orphan, to become the next Ruler of Seolia, a small Kingdom. Still ignoring fifteen years later why the old King chose her to become the new Queen, she is doing her best to do a good job. But Raven has a secret : she possesses dark magic, something forbidden in the Kingdom. And someone is spreading rumors about it among her subjects.

A Kingdom of Flame and Fury is a very intense read : it is a very dark Fantasy novel, with a heroine that isn’t scared to be violent and to kill. It is also very spicy with highly descriptive scenes. Raven is definitively a very interesting character : I love how her powers reflect certain aspects of her personality and change her physically. She is quite an interesting character to discover.

Whitney Dean created a well constructed world, where the plot slowly unfolds. The story goes up as the mysterious Zeke is introduced in the story. It is where it becomes very steamy. Is he a threat ? Is he Raven’s soul mate ? Not gonna say more to not spoil, but things are definitely more complicated than they appear.

If you love strong heroines, a lot of betrayals and twists and lovers that are also potentially enemies, then you will certainly enjoy A Kingdom of Flame and Fury. ( )
