About this listen
In Josephine Angelini's Trial by Fire, what makes Lily weak at home is what makes her extraordinary in New Salem. In this confusing alternate world, Lily is torn between responsibilities she can't hope to shoulder alone and a love she never expected.
This world is trying to kill Lily Proctor. Her life-threatening allergies keep her from enjoying experiences that others in her hometown of Salem take for granted, which is why she is determined to enjoy her first high school party with her best friend and longtime crush, Tristan. But after a humiliating incident in front of half her graduating class, Lily wishes she could just disappear.
Suddenly, Lily is in a different Salem - one overrun with horrifying creatures and ruled by powerful women called Crucibles. Strongest and cruelest of them all is Lillian...Lily's other self in this alternate universe.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

But the cottage is in need of repairs, the place is in the middle of a forest, and I'm not used to small towns. Then I meet my new contractors. Sexy doesn't begin to describe them. The flirting flows easily, and while they're a well-established couple, it seems they may have room for more. Even better, these guys are quickly getting to be a lot more than just friends.

Whiny main character.
The combination of the whining main character and the narrator's reading rhythm made the book difficult to listen to. That plus the cliffhanger ending makes it something I cannot recommend.

Another home-fun for Angelini
PJV Quickie: Already an established fan of Josephine Angelini, I didn't think I would have any issues with her new series, TRIAL BY FIRE, I just didn't expect it to be so different, so dark...the synopsis of this one does it no justice. TRAIL BY FIRE is a richly constructed and well-crafted Young Adult Fantasy novel that I was pulled into from the first sentence and wasn't let go until the last and yet still I keep thinking about the novel, weeks after finishing it.
Review: Angelini tackles the idea of the multi-verse and makes us question our own beliefs, in the first from her new series, TRIAL BY FIRE. The first novel introduces us to a very unique young lady, Lily Proctor. Lily is allergic to everything, her life is literally hanging on a thread, she is only managing to go outside of her house with the use of tons of medications and restricting what she wears, eats and even touches. Nothing ever goes her way, until one day, her long-term crush finally makes a move and Lily thinks, this is it...but it's not. Thrown into despair, Lily gives herself over to this little voice in her head that is whispering about a better life a better world and Lily says, "yes."
Nothing will be the same for Lily again. Brought to a more primitive and dangerous world, her counterpart, Lillian is a cruel and merciless ruler that has some weird agenda for Lily and believes that Lily can help "save her world." She came to this conclusion because Lily had been outspoken in her opposition of certain things, like not eating meat and opposing nuclear energy by wearing t-shirts. The underlying message behind these novels seemed to be showcasing a form of fanaticism and the lengths a person might go if they believe something to be wrong. Angeline did a great job! This book seems to be loved and hated - and frankly I think that is the mark of a great book. I loved it. I thought Lily's character, whom, didn't go over that well with me, her stubborn stance on different issues that would put other people's lives in danger, was quite infuriating. But, the fact that you could admire her stubbornness but then see the ignorance in her stance, shows that this character will have to go through a bit of a transition by the end of the trilogy which is always a plus for me. Love character transitions.
Overall, great book - can't wait to read more. Angelini hit another home-run.
Narration: Emma Galvin is a favorite of mine, she has a good voice that translates well to a YA female narrative. She has done series like DIVERGENT and ARCANA CHRONICLES - which are both MUST LISTEN books. You can't go wrong with Galvin.
Recommendations: This one is nothing like STARCROSSED, but if you loved her other series, you'll enjoy TRIAL BY FIRE. If you love Young Adult Fantasy, also another plus, give this one a try. It has romance, heart-break, violence and evil witches! PG-13 rating. Enjoy!

Average YA witch story
I found this to be a very average story that keeper me entertained but wasn't gripping. I was not rushing to find out what happened next. I would pick up the next book of it was on sale.

Great characters and great story
I really loved this book! Its a different concept than I have read before. The beginning is a little choppy but it eventually finds a decent rhythm. This story really offered a lot of depth that allowed me to get attached to the characters. There were some questionable outcomes in the sense that the plausibility based on the back story didn't seem believable, but it didn't bother me too much. I would highly recommend this to anyone that loves great chemistry between the protagonists, loves a great antagonist, and love a story that constantly propels you forward.

Loved it!
I would recommend this book to the teen reader as well as a more mature audience this book has something for everyone. I love this narrator and have read several of her other works and was not disappointed at all! Unfortunately I've read so many books I can usually guess where the story is going but, I was pleasantly surprised with the twists and turns that this novel took. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Amazing!❤️❤️❤️
I have read Josephine’s book Dreamless five years ago and here I am reading my second series and I.just.love.this! It’s so good! Really good! I am excited to read more! Everything in this book is a mix of futuristic and past and present worlds colliding! Love of different kinds, sacrifices and Strength!
Magic, people good and bad. I love how there are two Lillian and both are the same but based on the decisions they make they are different people.

Slow Burn
This was recommended by a friend who shares similar tastes. The story was amazing with breathtaking details that lit my imagination up BUT i almost just gave up on it at the beginning. It was a slow start with a female i was afraid would be complaining the entire book. But she doesn’t and it didn’t and i am very grateful i finished it.
