Honestly, this one almost slipped me by. I loved Caruso’s Swords and Fire series (yes, someday I will go back and review the last one, I swear), and so as soon as I heard that this was set in the same world, I was ALL IN. Then I saw the aesthetic and read the blurb, and I was DOUBLY IN.
I said in my review of The Tethered Mage that it was good - not mind-blowing, and lacking in that extra something special. But I was still excited to read the sequel, and then before I knew it, my eyeballs were just freaking glued to the goddamn page. Welcome to a sequel that improves on its predecessor in big ways.
I'm normally pretty targeted with my trips to the bookstore; if I don't know what I'm going in for, I walk out $100+ poorer. But The Tethered Mage called out to me from a bookshelf and became a surprise purchase. The promise of two cool lady protagonists was too much to pass up.
