Overall: ♥♥♥♥♥

It’s the year 2040, and sixteen-year-old Dez Harkly is one of the last of her kind—part of a nearly extinct race of shape-shifters descended from guardians to the Egyptian pharaohs. Her home and her secret are threatened when the Council lowers the barrier, allowing the enemy race to enter the Shythe haven.

As the Narcolym airships approach, Dez and her friends rebel against their Council and secretly train for battle. Not only is Dez wary of war and her growing affection for her best friend Jace, but she fears the change her birthday will bring. When Dez’s newfound power rockets out of control, it’s a Narcolym who could change her fate… if she can trust him.

Dez’s guarded world crumbles when she discovers why the Narcos have really come to Haven Falls, and she's forced to choose between the race who raised her and the enemy she's feared her whole life.

My Thoughts:                                                                                           

Destiny’s Fire is so UNIQUE! It was amazing! And complete thrill ride! It’s one my favorite steampunk stories, set in 2040, filled with shape-shifters descended from guardians to the Egyptian pharaohs. Wolfe’s love story bit added equal parts excitement and a lot sexy-times lol. Don’t worry about the love triangle thing. I love a good love story…just as long as it’s played out well. Destiny’s relationship with Reese and Jace is gradual and a genuine building. What I’ve learned throughout this whole love triangle thing is that you go for what you want.

Dez and all the other characters are very relatable and I loved their sparring scenes to dancing in the clubs. They just play off of each other very well. Wolfe’s characters told the story; it was like everything was molded around them, this story was made for them. Wolfe does an excellent job writing such likable characters.

The plot was very dynamic. I for one haven’t really read steampunk novel(except for Cassandra Clare’s.) Destiny’s Fire was everything I could hope for in a novel(potential series?) There’s romance, action, a Strong female lead. There are some serious moments thrown in there too. For the most part I just remember having that feeling like “I have to finish this book, it’s so good (can’t look away)”during this novel. I love being invested in the characters and being excited when reading the story. I never would have expected such great things with Destiny’s Fire! It’s a MUST READ!
