Description
Kurara has barely escaped the grasp of Princess Tsukimi. Reeling from her Crafter mentor's grim betrayal, Kurara and her friends are desperate to catch up with their old airship, even if it means they have to do it on foot. But after everything she's been through, Kurara refuses to give up on understanding and freeing the shikigami, origami creatures enchanted to life, nor will she stop at anything to understand her mysterious past, no matter who tries to interfere . . . or what dark truths about her role in the war may surface, the farther south she goes. Her goal is the Grand Stream, where Suzaku, the greatest shikigami of all, likes in furious wait.
But Kurara isn't the only one searching for Suzaku. Traveling through forests, seas and the ruins of an underground Crafter city, there is no shortage of enemies who wish to control Kurara and the shikigami of the world for their own ends. When a bloody confrontation leads to horrifying revelations about the true nature of shikigami and Kurara's past, Kurara will need all the support she can muster just to carry on.
In this sequel to the breathless Rebel Skies, readers will return to the soaring heights, incredible twists and dark depths of Ann Sei Lin's vivid fantasy world.

This was a great continuation of the series. I ate this book up. I would recommend this book if you enjoy Asian mythology.

Rebel Fire is Book 2 in the fantasy YA trilogy by @annseilin1. I was VERY excited to be able to read this NetGalley ARC thanks to @penguinrandomca and @tundrabooks. I was part of a Tandem Readalong for Book 1 (Rebel Skies) this past April and it left off on a good cliffhanger that made me very anxious to continue the saga! You absolutely must read Rebel Skies first before Rebel Fire.
Synopsis:
We left off as Kurara had barely escaped capture by the evil Princess Tsukimi. In this world of sky cities, land cities, Imperial rule, the mysterious Crafters and their shikigami paper spirits designed to do their will, there are several groups of people vying for control of Mikoshima.
Kurara has just discovered that she herself is not human, but a type of human-form shikigami, and with this comes amazing power, but also a feeling of not belonging. She, with best friend Haru (also shikigami), and human sky city friends, Tomoe and Sayo, all seek to help save their world before the Princess, or her brother Prince Ugetsu completely destroy all the sky cities and shikigami that they cannot control.
Their adventure finds dangerous stops at underground cities, a grave-digger, and equally both new friends and foes as they seek to find a Star Seed, which Kurara believes can reshape the whole empire for a better future.
Opinion:
This sequel did not disappoint! The flow of the author's writing and how she continues to unveil the inner workings of each character and their motivations really adds to the magic of this adventure. I love how more of Kurara's past is revealed and by the book's end, it is left with the biggest quest still ahead. I can't wait to wrap up the story with Book 3, Rebel Dawn! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
