In this one Darling settles into her role as the Phoenix Reborn. She tries her best to release the Chaos back into the world and allow people to use their boons, bringing people together to stop the war that's still raging. Some don't agree about it's end.
Caspian seems content to remain in dragon form instead of facing his responsibilities as regent, and Darling continues to find the other empyrials to bring them back to their human selves. House relations are tenuous at best, but most seem supportive of a united front. Using the Phoenix to heal and help, Darling is able to gain allies quickly.
Talon is unabashedly in love with Darling, and is doing his best to play his role for Dragon House while also supporting her. All the whole they search for and try to figure out how to destroy Aurora, who has tainted herself and Chaos with blood magic.
A little slow until the end, and then everything happens so fast it was hard to follow. Overall a good read!

It is unusual for me to read a book which is aimed at a younger age group - sadly I am at the point where I am definitely not the target audience :(
However...
I loved this series.
Chaos and Flame is a fabulous book - it's action packed, has a unique magic system and characters who I really rooted for. The plot was interesting and kept me gripped. With it being YA, the pace was quite quick and we saw plenty of action throughout the book but I really appreciated that.
The ending was such a mean cliffhanger that I was incredibly grateful to have a proof of Blood and Fury to follow this up so I didn't have to wait to read it.
Moving on to Blood & Fury, this book is a seamless transition from the first book and absolutely lived up the high standards set by Book 1.
The storyline of this book is just as good as the first and we still have plenty of action to keep us interested.
We get to know the characters even more and I really enjoyed growing to understand them more.
The world in which this book is set is really interesting - this book offered a fab conclusion to the series.
A thoroughly enjoyable read
