Book Review

Of Flame and Fury
by Mikayla Bridge

by Lucie Dess, Jun 2025

Phoenixes are unpredictable, wild and incredibly dangerous. But on the island of Cendor, many risk their lives racing them. Seventeen-year-old Kel Varra knows the risks all too well. But despite her fierce need to protect her phoenix, Savita, Kel needs the prize money more. When her team, the Crimson Howlers, loses their rider, Kel has no choice but to join forces with her biggest rival, the arrogant and annoyingly charismatic Warren ‘Coup’ Coupers. Their new partnership attracts the interest of Canen Cristo, head of the powerful Cristo Industries, who offers to sponsor the Crimson Howlers. But as tensions rise on and off the track, and political conspiracies are uncovered, the Crimson Howlers are left with two options: win or burn.

Of Flame and Fury was my most anticipated read for 2025 and it did not disappoint. The characters are loveable, the story is fast-paced and the twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat! Mikayla Bridge has created a fantasy world like no other. The descriptions of the island of Cendor and the mythical creatures that inhabit it are so vivid and unique, I just couldn’t get enough! Especially the phoenixes! I kept flicking back to the compendium at the front of the book to learn more about each subspecies!

This flawlessly executed debut fantasy novel will have you falling in love with phoenixes and the Crimson Howlers. It’s the perfect read for anyone who loves rivals-to-lovers plots, steamy YA romance, found family and cheering for the underdog. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. For ages 14+.
