Smoke and Scar is exactly what I didn’t know I needed for a Fantasy read this year!
I absolutely adore Elyria (FMC). From her wit and banter to her strong sense of self, even at her lowest, she was def a character I was rooting for and was punching my fist in the air during fights. As for the rest of the troupe of champions; they added a great balance to her and the progression of the story. I may have a soft spot for a couple of them as well.
This is a 10/10 for anyone looking for fantasy, slow burn, with a flair of a competition to keep everything interesting. You get a variety of “Arcanians”(magic wielded), humans, trials, magic system, and world building.
Can’t wait to get my hands on this book trophy!
