Flamecaster

The Seven Realms is one of my favorite young adult fantasy series so I was thrilled to hear there would be a new series about the next generation. Flamecaster, the first book in this series, was one of my most anticipated 2016 releases.

Unfortunately, I found it had the same major weakness as the first Seven Realms book with none of its strengths. It took me FOREVER to get into Flamecaster–about half the book, which is over 500 pages. Unlike The Demon King, it never made me care about any of the main characters by the end. If I do read the next book, it will be because of my great fondness for the Seven Realms quartet since this book on its own didn't make me want to read more.
