Alright, let's pray that I remember what happened.
Update: I did.
Tricia continues to give such well-written epic fantasies and I absolutely love her for it. Master Of Iron was a great conclusion to this duology.
We pick up right where we left off in Blade of Secrets and it feels like no time has passed since we got that book. I was worried I would be a little lost and confused after having so much time pass between books but I remembered everything. Tricia clarifies a little here and there, but the story moves effortlessly from book to book so there is little room for confusion.
Ziva, Kellyn and Petrik are in a race to save Temra's life and to protect their own. There are forces around them that are ready to act and if they're not careful, they might get swept up in it. The problem is, they have no choice when the only way to save Temra is to walk into the middle of it.
The rescue mission to find the healer Petrik promised is a go, however, the new rescue mission seems to be getting Ziva and Kellyn out of harm's way.... among other rescue missions. Honestly, the entire book felt like rescue mission, after rescue mission.
None of which felt like too much or repetitive. Levenseller throws you right into the action and you don't want to come up for air until you know it's safe.
The writing is great. It didn't drag on a bit and I felt like the story itself rounded out very nicely. I loved that the girls revisited their roots and had a full-circle moment! It felt very whole and I cannot complain at all about it.
I will just continue to blindly add this wonderful woman's work to my TBR. It is no hardship.
I will say, although there is romance I didn't feel like it took a front seat in this story at all. I did love the couples though. Kellyn is :') and every time he calls her sweetheart I swoon.
Once again, I loved the mental health representation in a very fantasy-filled story. Even badass magical fighters are allowed to be anxious. Ziva was great at overcoming her own obstacles but I liked that she also worked through them with the reader. I was happy with how her character grew and what she became towards the end of Master of Iron.
Definitely one of my faves from Tricia. Can't wait for the next one!

I just loved how fast the pacing in this was. It's such a fun fantasy series. The main thing I love is the four main characters and how they interact with one another. But I missed them all being together like they were in the first one. I hate Temra still I think she's a brat. I love Ziva still, she has grown so much and I loved seeing that. I love her and Kellyn together, they are the cutest. And I enjoyed Petrik and his infinite knowledge that carried a lot in the book. Would recommend this series, It's nice and quick.
