Lindon has a year left.
When his time runs out, he’ll have to fight an opponent that no one believes he can beat. Unless he learns sacred arts the right way, from scratch, he won’t have a chance to win…and even then, the odds are against him.
In the course of their training, he and Yerin travel to the Blackflame Empire, where they fight to master an ancient power.
Success means a chance at life, but failure means death.
In the sacred arts, only those who risk the most can travel far...
Wight keeps the action coming in the third volume of this series.
Lindon has survived his transition to Iron, and now Eithan has taken him under his wing. He still has to fight his duel with Jai Long, but things are moving under the surface.
I can't get enough of these books. The pace, the characters, the world... It's all utterly spellbinding. I'm losing sleep to this series!
Can't lean for too long on a cheat. The top way, the solid way, is to make yourself strong enough to cut through anything.
Powered through the book while on vacation and didn't capture as many notes or retrospectives on the story as I usually do but I still feel that this book and series continues to land in the liked it rating. Lindon is expanding his powers and working his way to fulfill the prophecy from Suriel and growing beyond tricks and 'cheats' as he grows.
The strongest aren't the ones who climb the highest mountains, but the ones who choose to do it one-handed and blindfolded...but it's a short distance between 'rocky' and 'looking for suicide'.
The size of the world is expanding and so is the hierarchy of rulers, empires and orders and the scope of the story will continue to evolve with each book.
