These Feathered Flames (These Feathered Flames, 1)

If you enjoy fantasy fiction books that are not your classic princess story, These Feathered Flames might be your next favorite read. The story is about Asya and Izaveta, twin sisters who are separated from each other to fulfill the roles of the firebird and the queen. The firebird’s job is to keep magic balanced in the realm, while the other sister remains at court to learn the skills of a future queen. Before they can fully understand their new roles, the power of the firebird passes to Asya, which means the queen is dead.

Filled with betrayal, manipulation, and deception, this book will be your new addiction. The story is split into the perspectives of Asya and Izaveta, which helps readers understand the plot better. I would recommend this book to a mature audience, since some parts revolve around a political aspect. The plot is well thought out and filled with plenty of twists and turns, keeping the reader entertained until the end. There is a sequel called This Cursed Crown, which will carry on the story with new problems and adventures. Hopefully you will find yourself lost in this world of magic and secrets.
