King of Sword and Sky by C.L. Wilson

5.0

This is such a wonderful series. Each book is better than the one before. The world is immersive, the characters intriguing, and the story is engrossing.
Rain and Ellie are headed to the Fading Lands finally, but all is not well. They are leaving behind a lot of conflict between the humans and the Fey while facing suspicion among the ruling elite of the Fey. They need to save the Tairen kits and then face the Eld Mages in battle. The stakes keep getting higher and higher.
Ellie is gaining new powers, some not exactly what she wants, and Rain and Ellie still need to complete their mate bond. The pacing is excellent as actions shift between characters. A lot of the minor characters have high-stakes plotlines, so I felt a lot of tension while reading. I'm totally invested in this story. I'm still not happy with the covers, mostly because I'm afraid people are missing out on Ms. Wilson's great books, but one of the best fantasy writers I've read.
