Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Seventh in the hot series from the national bestselling author that Jayne Anne Krentz hails as “fabulously fresh.”
Eight brothers, born in four sets of twins, two years apart to the day—they fulfill the Curse of Eight Prophecy. Though no longer trapped in exile, their growing family faces new problems. Now that it’s his turn to look for a bride, Koranen, the seventh-born brother, cursed with a flame that courses beneath his flesh, must find a woman able to endure the literal heat of his passion. Then Danau the Aquamancer arrives, and as everyone knows, fire and water create steam.

I'm at the point now in this series that I'm reading mostly reading to get to the last book. I really like the character of Kor (the youngest and strongest mage) and I've been mostly reading just to get to his story in the last book. This one was not a hardship to read. I really liked this story and the undersea characters that came with it and I wish Johnson would have introduced them sooner in the story. One last point I want to make is that this one reminded me a lot of the show "The Bachelor."

In this entire series, Jean Johnson has created entertaining characters in their individual stories as part of the overall story. I have enjoyed each of the books, read all of them twice and look forward to the last tone.

While I have enjoyed all of the "Sons" books, I think "The Flame" may be my favorite, largely because of the development of the hero (Koranen) over the course of the previous 6 books, as well as the development of the heroine, Danau.
While all of the love-interests are well-developed, some of them have been ones I almost had to make myself like/root for (Alys, Amara), and others were almost silly (Serina). However, each lady complemented her chosen mate well. And the guys - well - all of them are well-developed (pun intended). Even when it wasn't "their" book, each brother's own story moved along.
The over-all arc has moved along much better than I thought it would. One enemy was dealt with, with another coming along.
While I look forward w/ bated breath to "The Mage", I do so w/ sadness, that one of my favorite romance series (which also has a healthy dose of rather explicit sex - yum) is coming to its end.

The seventh brother Koranen is perhaps the loneliest of the siblings as his skill pyromancy means no passionate touching; he literally burns women. He knows what the prophecy says for him and bolstering his hopes that his bride is an aquamancer as predicted is the recent sucess of his six brothers in finding their mates. Kor believes she is finally coming to him when four aquamancers from the underwater city of Menomon come to Nightfall to examine the desalinator.
Danau is Kor's polar opposite as her touch leads to frostbite. Although a pariah in terms of personal relationship, she is in charge of the Menomon delegation. Her icy persona hides her lonely heart, but also angers Kor who wants nothing to do with the frozen beauty. However, destiny could not care less what either thinks even as evil has creeped onto the island.
Events are reaching a climax as Johnson delivers the penultimate chapter in her magical Sons of Destiny series. Watching these characters and this new monarchy develop has been pure fun, with practical kingdom-building considerations mixing cleverly with high-risk danger. Johnson's impressive talent is on full display.
Though somewhat a set up for the grand finale tale in this terrific romantic fantasy saga, this seventh Sons of Destiny tale is kept fresh and exciting by the uniqueness of the lead couple as he is fire and she is ice. Separately they are loners as no one can touch them without being burned; together they make a perfect match. However, in spite of being destiny's darlings they must overcome their learned response that touching including passion literally burns. Jean Johnson provides a character driven enjoyable book seven.
