And the world building was really interesting, the magic system was really interesting, but the relationships between the characters kind of went off the rails about halfway through the book and I just got really disappointed in it. so, I ended up DNFing it about halfway through and moved on because it just wasn't wasn't landing for me.
Flames of Mira (2022)
Magic and redemption in a world of fire and ice. Among boiling volcanoes under Mira's frozen lands, people like Ig are forced to undergo life-threatening trials that bind chemical elements to the human body. One of Mira's most powerful elementals, Ig serves as an enforcer for Magnate Sorrelo Adriann, but is cursed with flesh binding magic that will kill him at the first sign of disobedience. When Sorrelo is overthrown, Ig quickly learns he can do far worse than what has been asked of him so far. If he can't escape the flesh binding in time, he will have to kill friend and foe alike to stop his master reclaiming the throne, or sacrifice himself trying.
And but it just was too dark and ultimately like I didn't actually like anybody in the book.
beyond that I found the book to be very tropey or just very predictable and just the story the characters the plot the World building everything was fine but not particularly memorable so I was let down by this book
i loved this book it is a subterranean world it kind of deals with a whole bunch of morality a lot all of our characters aren't really good people there are some incredibly complex moral themes that are discussed within this book and that flame lava fist is just awesome
