As we learned in the previous book, Sky’s mother is alive but enslaved by pirates on the Island of Fire. Alex has committed to rescuing her, but he wants to do it the right way, through careful planning and with the right people. Although several storylines unfold throughout the book, the rescue operation drives the main story. At the same time, Alex’s burden of leadership takes a personal toll, particularly on his relationship with Sky.</p>Book Reviewshttps://www.thetechnoscholar.com/book-reviews/2026/the-unwanteds-island-of-fire/Wed, 17 Jun 2026 21:00:00 -0500https://www.thetechnoscholar.com/book-reviews/2026/the-unwanteds-island-of-fire/<p><em>Island of Fire</em> improves on the first two books in the <em>Unwanteds</em> series. In the earlier books, the story sometimes felt slow, and I did not always have a clear sense of where everything was going. We learned about Artimé and Quill, and there were battles and struggles to survive, but I never quite felt that there were heroes yet. That changed for me in <em>Island of Fire</em>. In this book, Alex and the other Artiméans have lost much, and they have had to step up and be brave. I see them becoming heroes and leaders. They are not just a people; they are family and friends to each other. And that is the biggest difference between Artimé and Quill. As we learn in this book, it is also the difference between Artimé and Warbler, also known as the Island of Silence.</p>Book Reviews
