Overview:
The battle-scarred warrior princess Bluebell, heir to her father’s throne, is rumoured to be unkillable. So when she learns of a sword wrought specifically to slay her by the fearsome raven king, Hakon, she sets out on a journey to find it before it finds her. The sword is rumoured to be in the possession of one of her four younger sisters. But which one? Scattered as they are across the kingdoms, she sets out on a journey to find them.
Her four sisters all have their own paths to tread, the gifted magician Ash is on a journey to find a dragon that could determine her destiny. The beautiful, unhappy Rose has left her undermagician Aunt and is speeding to the aid of her daughter, Rowan, who has been lost to her. Ivy, sold into marriage for the sake of an alliance, is now set to become the ruling Duchess of Seacaster with the imminent death of her much older and sick husband, and the power-hungry Willow is raising her infant child as a potential trimartyr king and training to be a warrior for the fanatical religious order Maava.
From wild rocky coastline to granite-topped tors, from bustling harbours to echoing ghost towns, from halls of kings to ancient primal woodlands, this story follows five sisters upon whose actions kingdoms will rise and fall.

Review:
I saw the cover, read the overview and knew: I NEED TO READ THIS BOOK! The Cover is stunning beautiful and I'm absolutely in love with it.
The author's writing style is fluid and thrilling, detailed but not too detailed for the reader to imagine scenes and persons on their own.
Unfortunately, there was one thing I really disliked in this book. There are approx. 6 different points of view and while you're reading this book you're hopping back and forth between all these characteres without any warning. So I wondered for a fair bit in the early story, which point of view I'm actually reading.
As soon as I got used to all the different points of view, I really enjoyed 'Sisters Of The Fire' as it contains amazing characters with an absolutely thrilling story.
My most favourite character in the whole book is Bluebell. She is one of the main characters. Bluebell is a very well trained and respected - sometimes even feared - warrior. Her enemies are afraid of her and in her father's kingdom everybody loves her. She has an amazing personality. It is the perfect mix between courageous, loving, kind, caring and protective. She would do everything for the ones she loves and also for her people.
I would recommend this book to everyone, who loves fantasy and is not getting confused wih more than 1 or 2 points of view. Don't judge this great book too quick as I know it will take a bit until someone can get used to all the characters but you won't regret it to keep reading!
