Could love undo the mess under which she was buried?
Or was it the excuse she’d give to forfeit her duty?
Still grappling with shocking revelations, Naia has to figure out if she can trust River, and this time, there’s a lot more than just her heart at stake. Unless she holds herself together, they won't stand a chance against the powerful Ironhold Kingdom. Actually, they might not stand a chance regardless.
River wants to make things right with Naia, but he also wants to unveil Ironhold’s secrets. Diving deep down into the entrails of the dreadful Iron Citadel, he finds evil more dreadful and dangerous than he ever imagined. This time, there might be no escape for him.
On a strange land, Fel has to distinguish between foes and allies, while struggling with newfound magic, and coming across even more shocking discoveries. The price of his failure is nothing less than death.
Leah has to find a way to control her power, or else it will consume her—and destroy everything she loves.
With gripping action, nonstop danger, heartfelt moments, and heart-pounding romance, Iron Hearts and Dragon Magic is the epic finale of the duology Of Fire and Fae, an upper-YA romantic fantasy series for lovers of forbidden romance, enemies-to-lovers, and family drama.
My thoughts:
Iron Hearts and Dragon Magic is the sweet conclusion to the wonderful Of Fire & Fae duology by Day Leitao.
Continuing the emotional and turbulent journey of our favorite Naia,River,Fel and Leah in their search for answers and saving their kingdoms in the meantime.
The story continues right where we left our character at the end of book 1 (Frozen Hearts and Death Magic).
The tricky thing is that the stakes are getting higher and more dangerous for them and finding the answers to what is going on, honing on their powers can't wait and time is of the essence.
It's no secret that, since book one, Fel has been my favorite, but Iron Hearts and Dragon Magic showed me a new side of her – resilient, cunning and fit to be a good leader.
Furthermore, it showed us more open, caring and vulnerable River that transcended his relationship with Naia on another level that was wonderful to witness.
As a cherry on the top, we have intriguing POV and backstory of King Azir and Ursiana ,giving us some answers and giving the characters incredible depth and insight why they are what they are today.
Sad to say goodbye to this world but enjoyed every bit of this story.
