And upon diving in…wow! The Jazz-Age vibes are immaculate, and I love how seamlessly the flare-magic is incorporated to be aligned with the immense wealth of the period. I didn’t know much about Fire Becomes Her prior to picking it up, but I was grabbed by the promise of aro/ace-spec rep in a historical/fantasy setting. Will she stand with the Holts, or will she forge her own path? But the longer Ingrid wears two masks, the more she questions where her true allegiances lie.

She strikes a deal to spy on the senator’s opposition in exchange for his approval and the status she so desperately craves. So when Senator Holt announces his run for president, Ingrid uses the situation to her advantage. Her only obstacle is Linden’s father who refuses to acknowledge her. Ingrid doesn’t have a family fortune, monetary or magical, but at least she has a plan: Rise to the top on the arm of Linden Holt, heir to a hefty political legacy and the largest fortune of flare in all of Candesce. or burn a building to the ground - and seventeen-year-old Ingrid Ellis wants her fair share. With only a drop of flare, one can light the night sky with fireworks. In Rosiee Thor’s lavish fantasy novel with a Jazz Age spark, a politically savvy teen must weigh her desire to climb the social ladder against her heart in a world where magic buys votes.
