I loved the way everyone interacted even during the tough times.The world is well written, I felt like I was in the world as the story was told. Griffin's Beta team quickly became an essential part of the story and I loved the way Cat became part of their team. Slowly you start to see who he really is and there is definitely more to his decisions than appear.The romance is an important part of A PROMISE OF FIRE, but it's more of a dessert, the characters and storyline are the main course. I didn't like that he basically kidnapped Cat and held her against her will for his own gain. January 2017 can't get here fast enough.Cat is a huge mystery at first, but slowly her layers are pealed away and her secrets are revealed. Why? Because I LOVED it and now I have to wait even longer to continue the story with book two. I'm so mad at myself for reading A PROMISE OF FIRE early.
