A Promise of Fire (The Kingmaker Chronicles, 1)

KINGDOMS WILL RISE AND FALL FOR HER

Cat Fisa isn't who she pretends to be. She's perfectly content living disguised as a soothsayer in a traveling circus, avoiding the destiny the Gods--and her dangerous family--have saddled her with. As far as she's concerned, the magic humming within her blood can live and die with her. She won't be a pawn in anyone's game.

But then she locks eyes with an ambitious warlord from the magic-deprived south and her illusion of safety is shattered forever.

Griffin knows Cat is the Kingmaker--the woman who divines truth through lies--and he wants her to be a powerful weapon for his newly conquered realm. Kidnapping her off the street is simple enough, but keeping her by his side is infuriatingly tough. Cat fights him at every turn, showing a ferocity of spirit that burns hot...and leaves him desperate for more. But can he ever hope to prove to his once-captive that he wants her there by his side as his equal, his companion...and maybe someday, his Queen?

Discover exciting bonus material, including maps, illustrations, and an expanded look at the world of Thalyria. Fans of Jennifer Armentrout, Scarlett St. Clair and Sarah J. Maas will burn for this spicy romantic fantasy.

This one doesn’t really get spicy until the last 1/4 of the book, but it gets pretty explicit. Overall an enjoyable and fast read.

One of my all time favourite books!! I love the blending of Ancient Greek Mythology with magic and the world building is great. I really enjoy how character focused the novel is and both the female lead, Cat and male lead, Griffin communicate or in Cat’s case miscommunication. The dynamic between the two is so interesting and great to see. I’ve also enjoyed seeing the family dynamics between Cat and her dysfunctional family and Griffin’s close family bond. It’s also interesting to see Cat’s internal struggle with finding a place to belong and feel safe. Overall this book kept me engaged from beginning to end and yet I still feel the need to pick it up and read it all over again!!

The dialogue was rough. Protagonist is overpowered and too immune to reason/logic. The world was cool.

Sorry to all Bouchet fans, this book was very much not for me. The two stars is for the audiobook narrator.
