I did everything I could to read this excerpt, but it would not open on my computer. The description sounds really interesting and I love the cover of the book. That being said, I wish I could give a review, but will definitely be reading the book when it comes out.

A promising start! For only an excerpt, I was already hooked on the story. I loved the idea of rival gangs and how they came to be. The writing style is simple yet impactful.
I will definitely pick up A Thousand Fires once it is released!

My fault for not realizing it was only an excerpt, but this was disappointing. I was just thinking I was kinda liking where it went and then it just stopped. Can't give a review about the story, but I was disappointed when I was done reading all of a sudden so I guess that means the book will at least be worth picking up.

I wasn't sure that a chapter preview would hook me much at all, but I am definitely intrigued and will most likely be preordering or getting it from my library when it's released.

Valerie is ready to be recruited into the Herons, one of the three gangs that control San Francisco. All she wants is revenge for her brother's death. She'll spend the next year in the Wars with her boyfriend, who comes from a family of Herons. But something unexpected happens on the night of her 18th birthday that might throw all those plans awry.

This was a very enticing excerpt by Shannon Price. She gives just enough detail and backstory to keep you intrigued and wanting more. A strong female lead, an interesting take on The Iliad, and some diversity are great components to this story. I'll be very excited to read the whole book!

This was an excerpt for A Thousand Fires by Shannon Price. Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan-Tor/Forge for the advance copy excerpt in exchange for an honest review.

Valerie is eighteen and it’s an established fact that on your birthday you can be invited to join one of the powerful gangs that controls San Francisco. Valerie is eagerly waiting and knows exactly which gang will come for her but what if she’s wrong ? What if her hopes and dreams are about to come crashing down ?
This was an intriguing beginning and the sample I’ve just read certainly sets up for a story involving revenge, a coming of age and there’s even what could be a love triangle to further confuse and muddy the waters !

A very promising start!

A Thousand Fires seems like an interesting dystopian novel, set in a more contemporary and relatable style than books such as The Hunger Games or Divergent.

The premise of rival gangs and a girl on a quest for revenge is sure to create an exhilarating novel.

While I am a little uncertain about the romance aspect, this teaser gave an interesting view into the characters. I look forward to reading this novel!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

I was a tad bummed I couldn't download a kindle version, as that's highly preferred.. but.. on to the book itself.

this was only a sample, but it really did draw me in. i plan on reading the book in full.

This is just a sample but I already feel intrigued. The ending of the first chapter makes me want to know the rest of the story.

I am so intrigued already! I love that this is set in San Francisco by a Filipino author. And I'm already super confused so I must know more. I'm excited to get to the full book!

This excerpt was enough to have me excited to read the rest of the book. I'm a bit confused and I think the full novel will explain the questions I have.

1. Why can I not download this sample to my kindle? Why do I need 10 different apps to be a good reviewer?
2. I didn't like the sample. Maybe the book gets better but Tor never approves books for me no matter how much I would like to read and review them. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is just a sampler, but it definitely pulls you in. Can’t wait to read the rest of A THOUSAND FIRES.

I was provided a copy of a sampler from the publisher and netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This has been on my want to read for a while so I jumped at the chance to read a sampler and can I just say that this has made me even more excited to read the book.

**Disclaimer: I was given an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.**

The small excerpt of "A Thousand Fires" definitely caught my attention. The concept of rival gangs in a dystopian world is interesting, and I'd like to see how Shannon Price develops the story.

At least there isn't a long wait until November!

Unfortunately I'm unable to provide a review for this one as their isn't an option to send to Kindle and I get an error re incompatible format when I try to open the downloaded file

Loved this sneak-peak of A Thousand Fires! Only the first chapter, and already I'm desperate to know how Val will face her divided loyalties and what lines she'll be willing to cross! This is definitely a debut to have on the radar of YA dystopian fans! I also love the narrator voice/tone. It gave me similar vibes as Hunger Games and A Curse So Dark and Lonely, both of which I love! Thank you, NetGalley, for providing this preview excerpt! #AThousandFires #NetGalley

I wanted that excerpt to keep on going! I am very intrigued to see how this story plays out. Maybe a little love triangle, maybe a little vengeance? I will definitely be reading the book in its entirety in November!

*Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this excerpt ahead of it's publication date*

This excerpt was quite interesting and I’m really looking forward to seing how the story continues. I’ll most definitely check out the book once it’s released.

Shannon Price gives us a morsel in the sample that demands a full meal. I would gladly read this text in its entirety — a book I would love to share with other readers.
