"Trial By Fire" - Review

5/16/2014

Ready for another 5 star read?  Check out Trial by Fire by Margarita Gakis. I absolutely LOVED this book, it was reminiscent of the books I used to read a few years ago and I didn't realize how much I missed this genre.  My original review can also be found on goodreads. 
5 Stars!

Absolute page turner and coming in around 200 pages, I was able to sit and read the entirety in an evening.  

The settings were described so perfectly I could ignore the words and just loose myself in the locations I was brought to.  The mixture of the 21st century witches and the 500 year old buildings filled with history provided contrast that blended the two times seamlessly.  The scenes were very descriptive and I had no trouble imagining the fantastical things described.

The characters we well written and deep enough to provide context, but not too deep as to bore with superfluous information.  As the book progressed I became more and more invested in what was happening with them and found myself rooting for Jade when things got rough.  She is a strong willed, go-her-own-way kind of gal and showed over and over again through her sass and disregard of title, life is about the choices you make.  After a rough childhood she has built some pretty thick walls and it's easy to see her apprehension and aversion to other and the control they want to have over her, but as the story grows Jade learns to lean on others and I really enjoyed seeing her character develop.
