Blurb:
Is control over the elements a gift, or a curse?
Roxy thinks that she is in control of everything: with flames flaring at her fingertips and an equally fiery attitude, what more could she need? But then she meets Brae, a prince from a rival Realm, who turns her assumptions of superiority upside down.
Jasmine has none of Roxy’s confidence or intensity. But she does have a secret - and Brae - and she’s not going to give either up willingly.

My thoughts (spoiler-free):
This hasn't affected my review in any way.
Fire was an entertaining and enjoyable read.
Fans of Avatar: The last Air bender (holla at you!) will quickly get the concept of the book.
There are four Realms that have their specific elements. The Helian Realm had fire, Arcan Realm had Air, Brizan Realm had Water and the Sephan Realm had Earth. Not everyone has the power to control an element, so each realm had people called Protectors , they serve as soldiers for their respective realms.
There were two alternating perspectives, Roxy and Jasmine's. These two are complete opposites, Roxy from the Helian Realm is snarky and bad-ass, while Jasmine from the Arcan Realm is shy and meek.I usually root for heroines like Roxy, but this is the only book I've read that made me root for a heroine like Jasmine.
The story itself was short, but it took me a while to finish, I had to slowly take all the details of their world.
I would totally read the sequel, Water.
Rating: 4/5 hearts
