The Final Strife is the real deal: epic fantasy turned on its head in the most compelling way imaginable.Kalynn Bayron, bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead and This Poison Heart ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022Book Riot Red is the blood of the elite, of magic, of control. Blue is the blood of the poor, of workers, of the resistance. Clear is the blood of the slaves, of the crushed, of the invisible. Sylah dreams of days growing up in the resistance, being told she would spark a revolution that would free the empire from the red-blooded ruling classes tyranny. That spark was extinguished the day she watched her family murdered before her eyes. Anoor has been told shes nothing, no one, a disappointment, by the only person who matters: her mother, the most powerful ruler in the empire. But when Sylah and Anoor meet, a fire burns between them that could consume the kingdomand their hearts. Hassa moves through the world unseen by upper classes, so she knows what it means to be invisible. But invisibility has its uses: It can hide the most dangerous of secrets, secrets that can reignite a revolution.

This book had it all: magic, romance, intrigue. Oh, empires. Always built on bricks of blood.

I‘m a fan and cannot wait to dive into the next book. I liked that the main characters had very human flaws.

I am unable to read one book at a time. Mood reading is an everyday problem.

HOTPock3tt I read iron flame too. I didn‘t like it quite as much as fourth wing but still happy to revisit those characters 🙃 11mo
Zuhkeeyah @HOTPock3tt Same. I liked that the story is moving forward, but it didn‘t feel as powerful as the first book. I hope things pick back up in the third book. 11mo

🎧 I enjoyed this book!

Red is the blood of the elite, of magic, of control.

Blue is the blood of the poor, of workers, of the resistance.

Clear is the blood of the slaves, of the crushed, of the invisible.

Tyranny, rebellion, betrayal, addiction, withdrawal, enemies to lovers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4
