Phoenix Flame is the amazing conclusion to the Havenfall, a story about a young girl working to save the Inn that serves as the neutral territory between many different worlds. Maddie is back in this book after saving the Inn, but there is a new challenge in her path. Maddie must figure out who, and what, is most important to her to save, because she might not be able to save it all.

Ahhh thank you so much Bloomsbury for the opportunity to read and review this! I can’t wait!!! 🤩
Yikes.
“Phoenix Flame” picks up a few short weeks after the events of book 1 and we find Maddie and her uncle Marcus trying trying to pick up the pieces left after the devotion at the hands of the Solver Prince is revealed. With the injustices of the soul trade looming over their heads Maddie works to find the mysterious piece to allow travel through worlds and stumbles upon someone from her past.

DNF @ 41%
I enjoyed the first book in this duology; not a favorite, but it was fun. Since it hadn't been too long since I read book 1, I decided to give book 2 a go. Unfortunately, I did not like this book. It tried to do too many things and everything kind of suffered as a result, veering off from the path set in the first book. I didn't really care for the characters of the storyline as much. I feel that the story could have been stronger as just a standalone.

Here we go, the sequel to Havenfall. The story picks up where the previous one ended, with our protagonist Maddie facing the aftermath of the Silver Prince and her uncle Marcus recovering. The plot starts off pretty better than the previous story but fades by the time we reach the end and suddenly it abruptly ends. I was honestly surprised when I finished reading the e-arc and was greeted with the acknowledgements page. The story abruptly ends and left me feeling like there should have been more

I love the fantasy world of the Havenfall series and it was great to be back! Holland presents a well thought out and balanced magical system, with a new twist (sorry, that's spoilers). With the returning health of Maddie's uncle, she steps down from being the Inkeeper of Havenfall, but that doesn't stop her adventures!

Phoenix Flame is the sequel in the Havenfall series by Sara Holland. It begins soon after Havenfall ended, follows Maddie on a quest to find the Silver Prince and end the soul trade. To do this she gets to travel into the Fiordenkill and on the way she encounters many obstacles, and new characters are introduced.

I am unhappy with how this series ended. At first, I really liked this book better than Havenfall, but I guess I must have jinxed it because it quickly took a turn for the bad. The plot was so generic and rushed, the characters were predictable and undeveloped, and the ending did not create a sense of peace that usually comes with the ending of a series. So many characters fates were left in the air!

I read Havenfall at the start of this year and was really intrigued with all the different worlds so when I saw the sequel had come out I was excited to read the conclusion of the story.
This was a fast paced and interesting read though I do feel like it wasn’t fully fleshed out. We pick up a few weeks after the end of the first book and straight back into the action with Maddie while she carries on her work to protect the Inn and stopping the black market trading of magical items.

This was the sequel to Havenfall and I feel like the cover could grow on me but not a huge fan of it at the start.
Maddie was able to save the Inn and is now back with a new adventure and quest.
I feel like this book was far better paced than the first one and the plot and storyline is so much better too. Its always good when a sequel is better because it means that the author has got even better.
I struggled to put this down which meant I was up till midnight reading with work the next day.

I liked this book, but it felt a little...anticlimactic, I guess is the word. I wasn't expecting everything to wrap up as neatly as it did. Yet at the same time, it feels like there's more world to be explored and story to be told, Maybe this series would have worked better as a trilogy than duology? Opportunity to enter more worlds, explore some plotlines more fully and draw out others so the stakes felt higher - I don't often love cliffhangers, but I think this story could have used some. As i

After reading Havenfall I was really eager to start reading the sequel, but unfortunately I didn't enjoy Phoenix Flame quite as much as Havenfall. The plot of the story itself was good, yet the book just seemed to be lacking something. There were a few time jumps from one day to the next or two days later that made me feel like it was missing some scenes that would have been nice to read. This resulted in me not being as compelled to read on as I was when I read Havenfall, though I still enjoyed

Why is it that Sara Holland puts out a book with an awesome title and an awesome cover, and then the sequel’s cover and title are revealed and everything goes to shit??? It’s like the cover artists know that nothing will ever compete with the fucking beautiful iconic out-of-my-mind gorgeousness of the first book’s cover so they just. Stop trying. And, yes, mood, but also, WHY???? So rude smh
Phoenix Flame is a well written addition to the Havenfall series. It felt as if it was more of a "filler" novel than getting into the "meat" of the story. I did enjoy it. It just didn't have the same page turner demand that the first novel had, but it still was worth the time I spent reading it.

The plot of these books isn't anything special, but the worldbuilding and the inn are fun. I'm not sure if this is a conclusion or not. Really could go either way, and I wouldn't be opposed to a third book. (Especially if Taya and Maddie got together in it).

Look for my full review over at Litbuzz.
I did enjoy the conclusion to the duology, just felt unresolved and I wanted more than a “hopeful” ending.
