Queen B’s Decree: I enjoyed Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves (despite issues with the pacing) so was interested to dive back in and continue with Remy’s story in Swift the Storm, Fierce the Flame.
But I just didn’t connect with her. She’s supposedly this genetically modified super soldier kid, but she seems like she’s always two steps behind everyone else. And her single-minded focus on finding her friend (more like first love, thank you) was repetitive and exhausting. My favorite character ended up being Iska, the wolf from the first book.
The plot and the storyline were engaging, but I couldn’t get past my dislike of our narrator, Remy. Thus, I ended up quitting Swift the Storm, Fierce the Flame around 45%.
