I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. It’s compelling, it’s totally absorbing, it’s flat-out fantastic in every sense of the word! More please! Okay, I was trying not to, but *SQUEEEEEEEE* Only Ronie Kendig could write the kind of sparks that fly there!Įven if you’re not usually a fantasy reader, I would encourage you to pick up this series. And he has definitely met his match in the woman who catches his eye. He caught my attention in the last book, and totally hogged it in this one.
But if I’m going to be honest, I’m a complete sucker for Tili.
He gets thrust into his role as Fierian completely unprepared (as in, bedridden unprepared) and every challenge, every failure, every setback pushes him on to better himself far beyond what he would ever have believed himself capable of. These characters have come such a long way from where they were at the beginning of the series, particularly Haegan. They provide so much of that coiled tension that I love in this author’s books, and it is the growth and resolution in these relationships that provides much of the satisfaction this series has given me. I’m talking familial, political, even the characters’ perceptions of themselves. And I’m not just talking romance (although she’s created one of my all-time favourites in this last in the series). It’s addictive, I tell you! As you would expect from high/epic fantasy, the showdown between good and evil is the climax the series works towards, but a big part of what makes this series-in fact, all of Ronie Kendig’s books-so compelling is the diversity of the relationships that play out along the way. I said it in my review for the previous book in this series, but it bears saying again: Boy, can this gal write! And it’s not just the words themselves it’s everything they give life to-the characters, the plot, the world she’s created. If only it wasn’t the end! I’m really not ready to let go of these characters yet. At last!!! It has been quite a wait for this final book in the Abiassa’s Fire trilogy, but it is finally here, and every bit as fantastic as I was expecting it to be.
