Description:

Acclaimed author Sara B. Larson continues her enchanting YA fantasy duology with a timeless fairytale feel in an original voice.

The doorway between the magical Visempirum and the human world has been reopened. Paladin are once more living in the citadel where Zuhra and Inara grew up completely isolated by the magical hedge that trapped them there. Amidst the brewing conflict between the Paladin and humans looms the threat of Barloc, who has stolen Inara’s immense power and continues to elude the Paladin who are desperately searching for him.

In this sequel to Sisters of Shadow and Light, Inara and Zuhra must navigate the treacherous paths of self-discovery, their love for each other, and for the boys who have captured their hearts. Together, they search for the strength within themselves to bridge the divide between the two worlds they inhabit, even as war threatens to destroy everything—and everyone—they love.

“Packed with fascinating relationships, pulse-pounding romance, and breathtaking adventure, this story held me captive to every page.” ―Kathryn Purdie, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Burning Glass

"I was completely swept away with this fierce magical story of broken family, and sisters trying to survive a mysterious past. Romance, betrayal, gryphons, forbidden doorways, and devoted sisters had me flipping the pages to unravel the secrets of this dark world where no one is who they seem to be. Larson has created a spellbinding world that has all the elements I love―magic, mystery, romance, and sisterhood! I can't wait for more!" ―Mary E. Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of The Kiss of Deception

Warriors of Wing and Flame is the second and final book in an enchanting young adult fantasy duology that fans of the genre and of the author are definitely going to love. I've read several of the author's other books - including the first book of this duology - and absolutely loved them. After finishing the first installment, I couldn't wait to see how Inara's and Zuhra's stories wrapped up. 

The main characters, Inara and Zuhra, continued to be incredibly realistic and easy for me to connect with. I was able to slip right back inside their world within the first couple of paragraphs and it was like I had never left. I loved watching them learn more about themselves, each other, and their lives in the crazy new mixed world they find themselves in. I really liked seeing their relationship with one another continue to grow and change. Of course, I loved watching each of their romantic relationships blossom throughout the book too. 

Another huge thing for me personally was the writing style. I almost always prefer the first person point of view when reading because I feel it lets the reader have a much deeper connection with the narrator than any other style. I was so glad when the author chose to write this in the first person but with the added bonus of dual narratives from Inara and Zuhra both. I absolutely adored getting to experience the story through each one of their perspectives and to see things through both of their eyes. It let me get a fuller, deeper look of everything that was happening and how the girls were feeling during it all. Having the book done in the first person was fantastic, but having it done from alternating viewpoints of Inara and Zuhra took it up a notch and made it incredible. I very highly recommend this book (and series) to fans of the author and readers who enjoy YA, fantasy, action, adventure, romance, and fairy tales.
