So, a virtuoso sorcerer and a master swordsman walk into a bar… Yeah, you’ve heard this one before. The locals immediately hit ’em up for a job because they look sooo powerful and the town’s just that dang desperate for help. In the case of Atessa, city of blacksmiths, there’s apparently some funny business going down in the surrounding woods. Mines are being attacked, caravans raided—the whole shebang.

With how the previous book ended (#15) I was a bit wary about this one, but as I understand it, this book is like a newly created continuation? I guess it’s taken into account what the fans liked.

I was wondering with all the amplification talismans gone what would Lina do? That was a believable workaround. Nice.

But… it was a short reunion! I wonder where the next book will go.
