Sisters of the Fire Daughters of the Storm Kim Wilkins Books

Note: I requested a copy of this book through NetGalley and I voluntarily give this review, it is my honest opinion.

So I made a mistake, I realized that Sisters of Fire is the second book in the series and I have not read the first. I had no other option but to go forward and read the second book first and let me tell you, it was amazeballs.

I thought by not reading the first book I was screwed but I was wrong. The way Kim told the story I felt like I got the gist of what went down in the first book and all of the most important information. While I do regret not reading the first book first I feel that me not reading it didn't take away from the Sisters of Fire book.

Sisters of Fire is what I imagine Game of Thrones must be like cause I never actually read/seen it. This was a high fantasy with all the dirty grim of the times with crazy magic, betrayal, warring religions, death, supernaturals and an overall sense of bat-shit crazy. The things that happened in this book! I was ready for shit to go down at anytime, the secrets that everyone was keeping that I was just waiting for someone to drag someone's dark deeds into the light and I was not disappointed.

Kim has a lot of themes going on in this book. On one had there is a religion that has gods and is added in the supernatural in a way and within this religion there is a lot of women empowerment, a girl is called my lord and will be king, not queen but king someday. However there is an opposite religion that put women at unspeakable vulnerability because men are held in higher esteem and hold all the power. There are hints at mental illness and the times are portrayed harder than I have seen in other books, it seem more true-to-form in some way.

Sisters of Fire have such complex characters that have multiple sides to them and are trying to do what they feel is best in their own way. The story, the action was very good when it happened but it was all the little clues that pointed to that crazy ending that had me hooked. I was waiting for the next thing to happen or for certain characters to find out all the information that I already knew and they didn't. I wanted to scream at certain characters to hurry up and get the clue. I loved the characters so much. This story was at its heart about a family and what goes on in a family, all the crazy, mean and complicated stuff that occurs in a family but with magic and swords.

Sisters of Fire was a fantastic story and I can't wait to read the next book. After the Sisters of Fire ending I have some major questions that I hoped to be answered. I also hope to hear from Rowan again cause like I said my favorite character, I can't wait to see what else will happen with her. One thing is for sure, this story is far from over and I am so happy about it.

Sisters of the Fire Daughters of the Storm Kim Wilkins Books Reviews

Review first posted at Girl Who Reads. A free copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

In the four years since Athelrick's five daughters worked together to restore his health, the bonds of sisterhood had all but dissolved. Bluebell remains at home, his heir and essentially the leader of his army. Ash had traveled to learn the ways of an undermagician. Rose was exiled from her daughter Rowan to keep the peace between kingdoms. Ivy is a Duchess with two sons and more secrets. Willow is still a zealot of the trimartyr faith, determined to see signs in everything around her. The fact that they are sisters still remain, and will further shape the world around them.

This is a sequel to Daughters of the Storm and is definitely enhanced by having read that one first. There are still contextual clues and conversations to highlight the most important parts of the first novel that apply to this one, so readers should be able to pick this one up and hit the ground running. The cover art between the two novels are similar, in that they both have the sisters' silhouettes in the shape of a crown. In the first novel, the girls all have their hands linked, and now in the second, they all stand alone in the shadow of the dragon fires that Ash had always been so afraid of. It's a brilliant way to visually mark the differences in the relationships between the sisters in the novels.

Bluebell is as martial and pragmatic as ever, still running roughshod over Rose's concerns. She did learn some patience, and the force of her love remains a palpable thing. We see Rowan now as a child capable of expressing herself, and the secret leading to Rose's exile now comes to bear on Rowan. She is a more central figure in this book, moving the plot for Bluebell and Rose, and positions Bluebell close enough to maneuver Ash closer to her destiny. Ash is largely a shadow in this novel, fear ruling her as much as her elemental magic. Willow is the other axis on which this novel spins, and she proselytizes and works to become a fighter to take down Bluebell. Ivy continues to have the weakest story arc of the sisters, though she has indeed grown up a lot since the first book.

The world of these novels is already well established from the first novel, but there are still features in this one that builds upon it in interesting ways. I never would have thought of a ghost horse or child being able to not only follow people outside of their place of haunting but to be able to interact with those close to death and magic. Prophecies always seem to come true, but never quite in the way that people fear that they will. It's fascinating to see the lengths that the characters will all go in the name of love, duty, and devotion, and how much the balance between religion, politics, family and marriage all balance for them. This book is put together just as well as the first, though Ash isn't the sister I connected with the most anymore. I was drawn more to Rowan and Bluebell's portion of the story. The story in this novel is complete, but there are definitely hooks to hang a third novel on, and I'm looking forward to reading it.
