I’m over at Dear Author with a review of A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet. Book 1 in the Kingmaker Chronicles, this is not the complete story so don’t expect everything to be resolved at the end. However, there are no cliffhangers and there’s a lot to like. It has a whiff of Kate Daniels and a more than a smidge of Captive Prince while being unique and different.
