Trial By Fire (Going Down in Flames Book 3) Kindle Edition

Bryn’s hopes for a peaceful new semester at school go up in smoke when someone tries to kill her—again. She’s not sure which is scarier, facing the radicals who want to sacrifice her for their cause, or her impending nightmare of a Directorate-arranged marriage to her nemesis, Jaxon.

The one bright spot in her life is Valmont, her smoking-hot knight who is assigned to watch over her twenty-four hours a day. Is what she feels for him real or just a side effect of the dragon-knight bond? At this point, stopping the impending civil war might be easier than figuring out her love life.

She may have to live in their world, but she doesn’t have to play by their rules.

4 Stars: Overall, [Trial By Fire]was well-written and hard to put down. I am looking forward to the next book.- Diane Lynch 4 Stars: Another good installment and although this book did have an underlying storyline it did feel like it was primarily about connections. Friendships, partnerships, family and relationships. [...] So bring on the drama but you can't fool me Mrs Cannon, I know your end game!" - Gia 5 Stars: Pretty sure I'm going to go through withdrawals, this series is so good! The story moves along so quickly that you don't even realize that half the book has been read. And it's so hard to put down that everything else around you just disappears. -Kel - Goodreads Reviewer 5 Stars: The wait for this book was absolutely worth it.

Title: Trial By Fire
Author: Chris Cannon
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal
Format: Ebook
Pages: 287
Rating: 5

Setting: Institute for Excellence – Dragon school

Main Characters: Bryn, Valmont

Supporting Characters: Jaxon, Clint, Ivy

Thoughts: Pretty sure I’m going to go through withdrawals, this series is so good! The story moves along so quickly that you don’t even realize that half the book has been read. And it’s so hard to put down that everything else around you just disappears. Part of me wants to read it again just so I don’t have to miss the characters. This has elements of Divergent with the classes, their jobs, and no mixing. There’s also an element of Harry Potter with all the mysteries that Bryn tries to solve, a bit of the magic, and the school just for dragons. I am anxiously waiting for the next book and recommend this to anyone that likes a snarky main character who stands up for what she believes in and won’t let anyone push her around. Kudos Ms. Cannon for creating such a wonderful story that makes me crave more.

Bryn and Valmont are so full of snark I want to be their best friend!
Reading Trial By Fire is very entertaining and extremely engaging.
There are moments that I just had to set the book down, I was so involved with the story that I was getting anxious!
Valmont makes some big changes in order to be Bryn's Knight, and Bryn has to come to terms with Jaxon and his Blue idiot self.
As they are searching for some answers on the hybrid situation and the attacks on the students, Bryn and Valmont have to research the changes between each other.
Loved reading about their adventures, and there was more than one time I read a passage to my husband about a certain stick in a certain orifice! Too funny!
Thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and I recommend this series for all ages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Agonizingly good
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2016

The series is well written but occasionally has annoying spouts of self doubt that at times can be mind numbing. However on top of the obvious intrigue, romance and angst in the current crisis, there is an underlying subtle emotional maturity growing with Bryn and Jaxon in the series. These two have a first meeting which seems promising (yes you must remember their initial first attraction) until Jaxon learns Bryn's identity. After that, well they live to antagonize each other. Rhianna and Jaxon have been set to an arranged marriage neither of them are crazy about until suddenly an injury makes Rhianna ineligible. Jaxon's protective instincts prove to attach to Rhianna whom has few other alternatives for her future. It is not surprising this attachment develops but there is subtle hints that their feelings may not be the kind each one wants long-term.
Rhianna is a likeable character and I hope her longtime affiliation with Jaxon proves her first impression of him in a relationship is ultimately what is real and to expect more is an injustice to her heart. She deserves happiness and not the sympathetic possessive protection that Jaxon seems to offer.
Bryn is a strong character that is learning her nature as a dragon as well as struggling between cultures and family while constantly under attack from many foes. She is desperate to have " someone " to call home and not feel as an outcast. This emotional insecurity lets her get in relationships that have underlying negative connotations that she blatantly ignores so she can stay safe in an imaginary world. Her not quite strong enough romance with Zavien is naive but more real then one seemingly enhanced with a bond with Valmont. Valmont is a likeable character and is suspiciously astute when he observes interactions between Bryn and Jaxon. I can only hope that he is released from his bond someday to find happiness or at least prove its influence.
I don't know how Bryn and Jaxon will come to be, but there will be personal growth and lots of pain to get there before they do.
And to make one observation...if restrictions on marriage within clans are lifted, will this mean Zevian might try a second chance with Bryn?

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic, Dragons, and Knights

So when I started this series way back when, I loved it. Now reading the third book in the series I still feel the same way. This book has more dragons, more knights, and more angsty Jaxson. I didn't know what to expect when I started this book. I knew that I was going to like it, but I was unaware that I was going to not want to go to sleep (I did) while I was in the middle of reading it. I was also unaware that my kindle was dangerously close to dying (it did). When I woke up this morning, even before my coffee had stopped brewing, I started reading it again. Granted, I did have to go back and re-read what my non-caffeinated brain had read. As I sat there reading Trial By Fire, I felt like I was there. I felt like I was watching everything first hand. The mystery that is in Trial By Fire keeps you guessing on what is going on. There is magic in this book, and Chris Cannon has captured it!

I love reading what Chris puts out. She writes like she has been writing for years. She has a fan for life from me! I hope that you read all of this series!! You will not be disappointed at all!!!

In the 3rd book, Bryn’s love life is much improved compared to the previous book with Valmont, her wonderful knight with a special dragon-knight bond between them. There is a new mystery to be discover and a nightmare of Directorate-arranged marriage to her nemesis, Jaxon.

This is a gripping continuation of this series. As with the other two books which came before that one, I could not put it down. It`s well written and I like the growth the main character shows. Also Bryn keeps her integrity inspite of the events surrounding her. I like reading about her adventures and can`t wait for the next installment!

Not as thrilling as the 1st 2..Kinda tame, and nothing definite that came across in terms of relationships either.
And the ending was kind of MEH..
I hope the next one is better.
This one feels like Chris decided to stop partway!

My all time favourite dragon books were by Anne McCaffrey.
This amazing author has filled that missing gap for me. Her dragons are shifters themselves, and so much fun to read about. Lots of emotions, just enough drama, and lots of laughs too.
I am really looking forward to the next book in the series....
