Week 34 Review: Phoenix Flame

From Goodreads:
Bestselling author Sara Holland continues her blockbuster contemporary fantasy series about the Inn at Havenfall with this unforgettable sequel.

Maddie thought her problems were over. She saved the Inn at Havenfall—a sanctuary between magical worlds—from the evil Silver Prince. Her uncle the Innkeeper is recovering from a mysterious spell that left him not quite human. And there are still a few weeks of summer left to spend with her more-than-friend Brekken.

But there's more work to be done to protect the Inn—Maddie must put an end to the black-market trading of magical objects and open the Inn's doors to the once feared land of shapeshifters.

As she tries to accomplish both seemingly impossible tasks, Maddie uncovers secrets that could change everything. What if saving everyone means destroying the only home she's known?
This next breathtaking fantasy from the bestselling author of Everless is perfect for fans of Melissa Albert and Holly Black.

My Review:
This was a really great read! I had so much fun spending more time in this world, and I loved the introduction of Phoenix Flame! This world is just fascinating, and it was, if I'm correct, a really good conclusion to this series!

Maddie is still reeling from the events of the previous book because this book picks up right after the first one ends, she trusted those that it turns out she shouldn't have, and her faith in her judgement has faltered. And there's a need for action that contradicts what everyone else is saying, to wait, and it's a source of rising conflict.

I really enjoyed that we got to go to one of the realms, it was great to see Maddie explore a little bit, and have her adventure there. That was a lot of fun to read, and it makes total sense for it to be a part of this series!  And what she finds, that reveal is pretty huge! Loved that, and what it meant for the rest of the book! 

If this is the end of the series, I'm a little sad, and I have a few lingering threads I would love a novella for. Well, we did have that extra chapter at the end, but from that, I can make inferences, but I'm not sure if they're correct or not! If this is the end, I really do hope that we get a novella, at least, just to wrap everything up! Plus it would be 

I really enjoyed reading this book, I had a great time reading it!
