Rosaria Munda grew up in rural North Carolina, where she climbed trees, read Harry Potter fanfiction, and taught herself Latin. She studied political theory at Princeton and lives with her husband in Chicago. Her debut young adult fantasy, Fireborne, was published in 2019.
Praise for Flamefall:
★ “Munda balances nuanced political intrigue and subtle
characterizations with thrilling scenes of battle and heartbreaking
moments of love and sacrifice . . . this volume will leave readers
breathless for more.” –Booklist, starred review
★ "Much like its predecessor, this second book in the “Aurelian
Cycle” trilogy finds its strength in complex, compelling characters
and thought-provoking socio-political intrigue. Amid the
politics there are plenty of dragon battles, clandestine missions,
and secret meetings to keep readers flying through the pages,
ending with a nail-biting cliffhanger. Highly recommended for
middle and high school readers." —School Library Journal, starred
review
“Point-of-view chapters show complexities, provoking readers to
think. In addition to the central will-they, won’t-they love story,
there is a lovely subplot with a same-sex, cross-class romance.
Exciting aerial battles, political machinations, and a bit of
romance make this hard for readers to put down.” —Kirkus
“Flamefall is the kind of book that becomes an intensified
experience when you read it under the cover of a rainstorm. I was
riveted from the moment I opened this book, and let me just tell
you, I couldn’t imagine this story going the way that it did. It’s
intricate and so incredibly well thought out. Everything feels like
it’s being held back for the right moment to be revealed and when
it finally is…wow. Get it on your TBR list, because you’re
going to want it on your shelf!” —The Nerd Daily
“Flamefall, takes what worked about Fireborne and builds upon it,
crafting a surprisingly thoughtful and multifaceted story that
provokes readers to think in ways that few other YA trilogies are
even attempting at the moment… The sequel is surprisingly
thoughtful about the way it discusses politics and systems of
government, putting our faves at odds over multiple issues, but in
ways that are easy to understand and even support. These are
complex problems that don’t have easy solutions – even when you
have dragons involved – and Flamefall doesn’t shy away from showing
real, and often terrible consequences on both sides.”
—Culturess
“Flamefall is so much more than just a middle book in a trilogy.
This book is absolutely fantastically written and thoroughly
plotted. It is riveting right from the start and keeps the reader
turning pages all the way until the shocking, cliffhanger
end. Riveting, atmospheric, and thought-provoking, Flamefall
is a stunning YA fantasy read that will leave the reader
breathless. Highly recommend for fans of Red Queen, Shatter The
Sky, and Throne of Glass.” —YA Books Central
