My review of Firelight (Firelight, #1) 
 A great sequel to Firelight. One thing I've realized about this book and the first is that not a lot happens. Only maybe one or two major events in each book. Normally that would mean that there must be a ton of filler and that would kill me. However, with Sophie Jordan's style of writing, it doesn't feel like filler. It feels like part of the story and it reads like a breeze. Onto book 3, Hidden! I talk about this book and others on my YouTube channel, here: http://bit.ly/RN2j5n 
 My Spoilery Thoughts: (view spoiler)[I'm so glad that Jacinda and Will are together at the end of this book. I'm also glad that there doesn't seem to be any flip-flopping on Jacinda's part. When a female lead does that with two guys, I think it diminishes and real love that might be between her and whoever she ends up with. Jacinda though seems to have a pretty faithful heart. Same for Will. I like that he doesn't pull away from her when things get tough. I also like that he doesn't try to push her away because it isn't safe or easy to be together. It almost gives them a Romeo and Juliet quality. 
 I'm surprised at the dictatorship ruling the pride. It seems to me that people would have stood up for their rights at some point. There's no reason not to have a democracy within the pride. It's not like they don't know any better either. They have TV afterall, they are aware of how the rest of the world is. Well, most of it anyway. 
 It's also surprising to me that the prides have never tried to fight back against the Hunters and Enkros. Maybe the reason behind that will be revealed in the next book. But right now I'm tilting my head at that. Descendants of dragons with super powers we act like prey? They have more in common with bunnies than dragons. 
 I don't say any of that to dog on the series or the author. I just don't understand it and it hasn't be addressed either. 
 How come Jacinda can't use her firepower right? Hunters are descending to kill her, she breathes fire once or twice and....nothing happens. WTH? Torch their asses! 
 It killed me when she left Miriam behind. Yes, Miriam is stupid, but I don't think I could have left her. Certainly couldn't have lived with myself if I had. Thank god she changed her tune at the end. But a week or more later? She's lucky the kid is still alive. If I had left Miriam, I would have gone after her right away. Then I would have returned home. I also wish Will had spoken to Miriam. Just for a second, tried to persuade her that it was safer with him. I was a little disappointed that he didn't seem all that concerned with her. 
 So glad that Jacinda's sister finally manifest (I'm blanking on her name). My friend and I had theorized that it might have been her on the cover. My theories about their mother being mostly self-serving was also proven in this book. But I felt for her in the end and I hope she gets what she needs in life by the end of book 3. (hide spoiler)]

 I moved Jacinda up a bit. A bit. She's still pretty worthless in a fight.
