Book Review: Of Blooming Embers by Rowyn Adelaide

Of Blooming Embers is the second book in the Fate of the Embered series by Rowyn Adelaide and picks up where book 1 ended.

I thoroughly enjoyed Of Withering Dreams and I was really looking forward to reading Of Blooming Embers, and I wasn’t disappointed!

While Seryn is sorting through her returned memories she and Gavrel set out on a dangerous quest to rescue Gavrel’s brother Kaden, and they meet up with some familiar faces along the way. The stakes are higher than ever in this book as there’s a prophecy to fulfill, secrets to be revealed, and people to be saved.

The world building and magic system in this series is amazing as is the character development. I really enjoyed learning more about the returning characters that were introduced in book one as well as the new characters who are integral to the overall story.

The relationship between Seryn and Gavrel was everything I want in a slow-burn romance; scorching chemistry, longing looks and tension that is ready to snap! I love that we got Gavrel’s POV in this book as well as Seryn’s as it was good to know what was going on that broody head of his.

“𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦, 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳. 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶.”

The twists and turns in this book had me glued to the pages, and that ending!! I can’t wait for the third book to find out what happens next!

Here’s the synopsis

As Seryn pieces together long-lost memories, twisted dreams reveal truths more dangerous than the nightmares she once feared. Forced to flee, she joins Gavrel on a desperate search for answers about those she loves and the mysterious power coursing through her veins.

PASSION IGNITES

Although Seryn can’t forget how Gavrel once ripped their budding love from the roots, the feelings they once shared refuse to stay buried. But his secrets still linger—truths that could shatter what remains of her trust.

FATE BURNS

Whispers of rebellion rise, and stunning prophecies take root. Seryn never asked to be a pawn in Fate’s cruel game. But if she refuses, the mortal realm will perish.

In a decaying world where lies masquerade as truth and power demands sacrifice, Seryn must reclaim the shattered pieces of herself before fate ravages their world. Because once you breathe life into ember, the inferno doesn’t just burn the wicked—it consumes everything.
