I didn’t like Destin or Evan that much in this book.
They all play a part to the overall plot of the series. We are also introduced to Destin Karn, Lila Barrowhill, and Evan Strangward. She was pretty fearless, and had to grow up quick in the mines controlled by her enemies. She only knows that it has to do with the mage mark on her neck. She is being hunted, but she doesn’t know by who or why. She is a mine worker, and she also has a secret. The other main character for this book is Jenna, who is also fierce and stands up for what is right. He also is a very caring person, and will help anyone, even his enemies if they need it. He is clever, fearless and has a strong conviction of what is right and wrong. I really like Ash, he reminds me a lot of his father who was the main character in the Seven Realms series. He has spent the last four years at Oden’s Ford learning how to be a healer, but in reality he has become an assassin. The book is mostly about Adrien sul’Han, aka Ash, and his need to avenge his sister’s and father’s deaths. I enjoyed all of the characters and revisiting a world that I loved from a previous series. The plot was pretty intense and full of court intrigue and double dealings. In fact I think that this one is my favorite of the four. Flamecaster(2016)Įxcept for that unforgivable, and yet understandable, death in the first chapter, I quite enjoyed this first book. But not having read it should not keep you from liking this one. It is one of my favorite series of all times. You should though, as it does set up some of the background for the war and world. If you have not read the Seven Realms series, I think that is okay. You could read either book first and not be at all confused, although it does make more sense to read Flamecaster first.
Much of what is happening in both books is mentioned or influences what is going on in the other. In other words, even though they have different characters for the most part and different plots, those plots are happening simultaneously. The first two books in the series happen at the same time. If you haven’t read all of this series, you might want to skip the next post. So, here is the first half of a two part series review.
Why? Well the first two books can easily be talked about without spoiling the others, but was it was hard to think about reviewing the last two books without spoiling the first two. I finally got around to finishing this series and I was going to review them all in one fell swoop, but then I decided it would be better to do it in two parts.
