To Bind Fire by D.E. Carlson
4.0
one of my favorite things in this world is when i'm reading a fantasy for fun, and see the author use a phrase like "iron sharpening iron" or "slave to fear." it makes my little Jesus-lovin heart leap, and i go to the acknowledgments just to check. i see the author dedicate the book to the Lord. it makes me happy. lets me know i'm either going to love or hate the book.
this book is especially nice because, while it has religious undertones, it's subtle enough that anyone could enjoy it.
you just might enjoy it a little more if you love Jesus.
hell, you might even cry like I did, watching her commune with El, as He mourns her lack of a father and offers to be a father to her.
but i digress.
all in all, this was an astounding book. the characters are wonderful, the plot and world-building are well done. i had such a fun time reading this. highly recommend if you're looking for a clean, fun, heart-wrenching fantasy.
