~ "Kardia mou. Psihi mou." My heart. My soul. ~
Overview:
Catalia Fisa, Lost Princess, has been running from destiny her whole life. Yet deep down, she has always believed that the prophecy shadowing her every step is inescapable: her unimaginable power will bring unfathomable disaster.
But now her newfound loved ones are caught between the shadow of Cat's tortured past and the threat of her world-shattering future. Although it may be that this, even with all her power, is still the one battle she cannot win, Cat's determined not to go down without a fight.
As the realms descend into all-out war, Cat knows she must embrace the power at her command. With Griffin by her side and Gods willing, perhaps she can emerge victorious in this fiery forging of a new Kingdom.

Review:
The cover of this book is stunning beautiful. It's designed in warm colours and even, if it's style is mostly simple, the compass is absolutely an eyecatcher! I love it!!
In 'Breath Of Fire' the author could win me all over again with her convincing, thrilling and emotional writing style. She also has a great sense of humour and made me giggle in various scenes.
~ Kato looks ill. "I... It... Me..." He stares at the massive snake. "Big." ~
The author also writes really detailed. I could imagine every scenery and every character perfectly fine. Even every single colour!
I like the direction in which the story line is headed, even if the romance part was a bit to heavy for my taste in the beginning of book two. Though after finishing 'Breath Of Fire' I most definitely understand the necessity of the detailed love story and wouldn't change a thing.
The fantasy part of the story convinced me nonetheless. Amanda Bouchet combines various stunning creatures throughout the story. All of which are playing a very important part for the outcome of the main characters' fates as well as for the breathtaking end of this book.
The reader meets many of the amazing characters from 'A Promise Of Fire' again in book two but there are also a couple of new people coming along.
Of course there are Cat and Griffin as they are the main characters. I love the fact of how courageous, strong and caring they are. Both, Cat as well as Griffin, would do everything for the people they love. Even if it means their own death.
Flynn, Carver and Kato are the loyal companions of Cat and Griffin. All three of them would protect them with their lifes and stand proudly by their sides. All of them are great warriors but even more important is that they are family.
And then there are Jocasta and Kaia. We heard about them a little bit in book one but this time they are playing a way more important role then one would think in the first place. Sometimes in the beginning they might come across as spoiled little princesses. But believe me when I'm saying, that there is much more hidden inside them then being a part of a ruling family.
'Breath Of Fire' is most definitely a highlight for me again. I can absolutely recommend to read this series to everyone who enjoys the story of a strong-headed, courageous and loving heroine combined with a great part of fantasy and romance.
I'm most certainly looking forward to read 'Heart Of Fire' - book #3 in the 'The Kingmaker Chronicles'.
A big 'Thank You' goes to the lovely team of Hachette Australia for the beautiful review copy, which I received in exchange for my honest opinion.
