Synopsis

A girl hell-bent on finding the friend she lost.A planet on the brink of total destruction.Only one way to find answers amid the chaos: team up with a traitor to stage a revolution.After a mission gone awry two years ago, Remy Castell has been desperately searching across worlds to find the friend she failed to save—the friend who changed her life by helping her overcome the brainwashing she was subjected to as a genetically engineered corporate agent. Since then, she’s been chasing the only lead she has: fellow genopath Kiran Lore, the same secretive ex-squad-mate who left her for dead when she compromised that mission. She nearly caught up to him on Tundar before joining the infamous sled race alongside outcast Sena and her wolf companion Iska. Now, all three of them have tracked Kiran back to Maraas, the jungle planet where Remy lost everything. But nothing on Maraas is how it was two years ago. Syndicates and scavvers alike are now trying to overthrow a megalomaniac corpo director, which Remy wants nothing to do with; fighting against corpos is as useless as trying to stay dry in the middle of the giant hell-storm that encircles the planet. But the storm—and the rebellion—are growing stronger by the minute. When Remy finds Kiran, he doesn’t run away like she expects. Instead, he offers her a deal: help with the revolution and he’ll reunite her with her friend. But can she really trust the boy who betrayed her once before? With the entire planet on the edge of all-out war, Remy will have to decide just how far she’s willing to go to save one girl before the impending storm drowns them all.

Goodreads review by LIsa Noell "Rocking the chutzpah!" on November 06, 2023

My thanks to St. Martin's Press, Meg Long and Netgalley. I freaking adored Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves. So excuse me for maybe blowing smoke up your arse and telling you that this was just as good! Now what did I just say? Yeah, smoke... This book was nowhere near as good as the first. But, it's......more

Goodreads review by Jena on December 19, 2022

Much like with the author's previous novel, Swift the Storm, Fierce the Flame excels in world building and has a compelling writing style. Unlike her previous novel, however, I did not connect with the characters as much in this one. This may be a personal thing, but I feel like it stemmed from thei......more

I read the first book in this series because I got a widget and the cover was intriguing. I loved that book and was excited to hear there was a sequel so I made sure to get a copy! The writing was still good and the world building was amazing, but I had a harder time connecting to the characters in......more

Goodreads review by Mia on September 02, 2022

3.5 stars So good. You all need to read book, Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves before diving into this but it's so worth it. I don't want to say it improved, but the world-building just hit different here. So many elements were explained so much clearer and built upon what we already knew. From the gr......more
