Creators: Liked In the dark underbelly of a beautiful city, two rival assassins are pitted against each other in a deadly game of revenge, where the most dangerous mistake of all is falling in love. In Fantome, a kingdom of cobbled streets, flickering lamplight, beautiful buildings, and secret catacombs, Shade-magic is a scarce and deadly commodity controlled by two enemy guilds: the Cloaks and the Daggers—the thieves and the assassins. On the night of her mother’s murder, eighteen-year-old Seraphine runs for her life. Seeking sanctuary with the Cloaks, Sera’s heart is set on revenge. But are her secret abilities a match for the dark-haired boy whose quicksilver eyes follow her around the city? Nothing can prepare Sera for the moment she finally comes face-to-face with Ransom, heir to the Order of Daggers. And Ransom is shocked to discover that this unassuming farm girl wields a strange and blazing magic he has never seen before. As the Cloaks and the Daggers grapple for control of Fantome’s underworld, Sera and Ransom are consumed by the push and pull of their magic… and the deadly spark and terrible vengeance that keeps drawing them back together.
LovedThe first book is The Dagger and the Flame. It gives very, very similar vibes, but in my opinion, went on a better trajectory than Heartless Hunter did in terms of expanding on our fantasy world, diving deeper into the story, just having more interesting plot things going on.
MixedThis is a doing the laundry listening audiobook fantasy experience for me and that is the City of Phantom.
LovedI got The Dagger and the Flame in my book of the month box last year. Ended up being one of my favorite reads and I just got the sequel.
LikedI just liked it the only negative thing that I have to say about it based on what I read is that it's not even negative it's just an observation really it's that it does very much read like why There Is No Illusion that this is adult fantasy it reads like ha ya fantasy but it is a ya fantasy so there's absolutely nothing wrong with that and I'm very excited to continue at some point in the future
Likedthe dagger and the flame it was cute for a ya fantasy romance
What made the match, strongest first
