Ziva is smith who has the ability to forge magical blades. She accidentally makes a very powerful blade but for the wrong person. This leads to Ziva and her sister on the journey to keep the sword away from those with I'll intentions.
This is such a unique concept for a fantasy book. I've never read a book about bladesmiths let alone a female smith with magic. Ziva also has social anxiety and the representation was one the best I've ever seen. I absolutely adored her relationship with her sister, Temra.
The plot was consistent and the side characters were also very well developed. I loved to see them all bond and form friendships as they carry on their which is filled with danger at every turn.
It was a breath of fresh air.

A magical metalsmith who accidentally creates a sword that can kill from a distance, who is running from a warlord who wants the weapon with an interesting cast of characters. Her sister, a scholar, and a mercenary for hire (who is conveniently handsome). Epic battles and a bit of romance make for an intriguing story along with a suspenseful ending will make me seek out the next book.

Oh Fable Crate you have done it again and brought me a glorious book of wonder that I likely wouldn't have found on my own!
I loved it. A sort of simple book with a simple premise but so many little pieces that make it an enjoyable read. I loved the dynamics between the characters and the little bits of magic woven between. Didn't end where I'm expected but I'm here for it and excited for the next edition.
I love the authors take on an anxious character and what goes on in her mind. I've never read a book like it that truely had a main character who had panics attacks and true anxiety so it was interesting to see from that characters perspective.
4.5/5

Don’t have much to say about this book besides the fact that it feels like the MC was written by a NT’s understanding of what crippling social anxiety feels like. Other than that I enjoyed what I will consider ace rep, for the few chapters I was allowed to believe it.

Decent book with an interesting concept. The anxiety of the main character was relatable, but also overwhelming for me at times.
