A Fire Endless, Rebecca Ross

 

A Fire Endless by Rebecca Ross is the second book in the Elements of Cadence Duology

Started: 4/30/2023
Completed: 5/7/2023
Recommendation: Highly Recommended
Recommended By: A follow on from having read A River Enchanted.

Review:

I really like it when magic has a cost and a consequence--ala LeGuin.  This book has that and it carries a good story making it a great story.  The characters develop and change.  The entire environment changes.  It is a lush story telling environment and it is even better with the accent that comes along for the ride in the audio book.  Really enjoyed it!

A River Enchanted, Rebecca Ross

 

A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross is the first book in the Elements of Cadence Duology

Review:

There is a fair amount of anticipation built into this novel that is pretty easily resolved by a mildly inquisitive reader, so don't read it for the "mystery."  Almost every single character encountered matures over the course of the novel (either in retrospect or in the moment).  I enjoy a novel that makes it clear that magic is not free and Ross does a good job with that.  I also like the way that the stories and perspectives are cleanly interwoven without the reader feeling lost.  Well done!
