    9500+ OBD-2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes special for NISSAN: • Detailed diagnostics trouble code...

The fifth instalment in L.G. Estrella's 'Unconventional Heroes' series, I found this to suffer somewhat from one unusual problem: namely, it's own length.

At 1521 (virtual) pages, that's more than 3 times as long as the previous instalment ("Two Necromancers, a Dwarf Kingdom, and a Sky City", which was 494 pages long) - indeed, I felt that this novel had enough content to be split across three separate instalments, with a clear delineation in the story between segments even if it is not presented as such when reading: there's no 'Part 1', 'Part 2' or 'Part 3' here.

For my money, Part 1 - or book 1 (5) of 3 (7) - would be the early parts of the novel, set in and around the Mercantile alliance, the middle part (what I would have preferred to be book 6 of 7 - would have been the Fortress of the title, the setup, action and denouement of the same and the final part (preferably book 7 of 7) would have been the action leading up to, and against the Titan.

It might also help to see Timmy and his crew actually lose once in a while ...

FLAME KISSED is the first book in the Phoenix Rising series. It is a fast-paced and action-packed story involving Wraiths and Phoenixes.

There is a whole new world here, just waiting to be explored. Where you have Oracles and Seers, Soldiers and Scholars. Where torture is not unknown and you can be bonded to someone against your will. From a heartbreaking start to a climactic finish, this book will hit pretty much every emotion as you read it. You will laugh at Aurelia and her sassy, take no prisoners, attitude. And then there is the banter between her and Evan, Rhys, West, and the rest of the crew.

I get the feeling that this book has only just scratched the surface of what is to come, and I for one, am looking forward to learning more! Definitely recommended.
