🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 A Fire Endless, by Rebecca Ross, continues the storylines from A River Enchanted, but also greatly expands the world building of Cadence. The four main characters - Jack, Adaira, Torin, and Sidra - struggle to halt a growing threat and adapt to their new responsibilities on the island. A River Enchanted, the first book in the Elements of Cadence duology, was set primarily in the East, focusing on the Tamerlain clan. In A Fire Endless, much of the plot is set in the West - where we learn more about the Breccan Clan - and in the mysterious world of the spirits. The introduction of new spirit characters strengthens the magical vibe that I found so appealing in book one. Bane, the North wind, makes an excellent villain, feared by both Breccans and the spirits he rules. Kae, a wind spirit, is banished to the mortal world and provides valuable information to both Adaira and Jack. We also meet Hap, an earth spirit, who guides Torin in the spirit realm. It’s Torin and Sidra who are tested most often and show the most growth in character. Ross does a brilliant job writing them both with realistic doubts, desires, and fears. As a reader, I’m always rooting for them. They are the more fallible, more human couple. Jack and Adaira, in contrast, are intriguing and inspiring, but far less relatable. The transition from A River Enchanted to A Fire Endless is seamless. The relationships continue to be beautifully written, and the plot has an urgency that will keep you turning the pages. If you enjoyed A River Enchanted, A Fire Endless is a sequel you shouldn’t miss. ❓Do you enjoy “best of” lists at year-end? Do you create your own?
