Review: Hidden Ember by J.M. Miller

Hidden Ember by J.M. Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided an ARC via the author in exchange for an honest review.

This is the final installment of the Fallen Flame Trilogy. I fell in love with Fallen Flame a few years ago, and I really love this series. If you love fantasy and mythology this is a good one to check out.

The pace of this one is a bit slow as most of the book is setting up for the final battle and Vala has to deal with her potential loss of humanity she defeats Verdandi. It definitely picks up as the battle nears and the action scenes intensify. If you haven't read the previous books, you really do need to as this is not a standalone. Verdandi and Vala are goddesses made human, one is trying to save the world while the other is trying to destroy it. The team Vala and Xavyn have assembled are racing across the lands to gain allies to stop Verdandi from ending the world. Vala fears that she will become the goddess she was before when she reconnects with her final feather or pith and while she will save the world she will lose herself and those she has come to love. We get alot of good character development in this with not only Vala but the other characters as well. There are quite a few returning characters from books 1 and 2. I like when I get closure on character arcs, especially side characters I've come to love.

The author really pulls on our heartstrings in this installment, and she certainly doesn't pull any punches as she takes us on this final journey. There were quite a few "that didn't just happen moments" before it was all over. I think this is the perfect conclusion to this series!
