🎤 Freddy Carter & Emilys Carey
📚 dual POV, 1st person 
Series: City of Fantome, book 1
Do I recommend this book: 🤷‍♀️
Will I read the next book in the series: 👎

The dual narration in The Dagger and the Flame was captivating, and both narrators did an incredible job bringing the story to life. The writing is strong, and the tension eventually builds towards the end. That said, I personally struggled to stay engaged and found myself pushing to finish it.

Maybe it’s just me growing out of young adult books, but I feel like this one might resonate more with its target audience. If you’re a young adult reader, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
