at first i was quite underwhelmed by a character, and definitely not looking forward to his chapters. however by the end i was ok with him.
the thing with this series, i’ve realized by now, is that with every new book we’re faced with new characters that bring their povs thus resulting in some entanglement that -for me!!- makes it quite difficult to get into the story.

however as the story developed, and especially when the various characters crossed paths i became increasingly interested.

something i’ve noticed also in Flamecaster, is that the romances seem to to bloom quickly?!? which i dig to be honest. i mean i do love slow burn romance, but cinda makes some points

Me gusto. Los personajes, la trama y aunque fue un poco pobre la introducción del verdadero antagonista lo mejoro todo el hecho de saber que son 4 CASTERS quienes busca.
La prota Lyss es una chica comboy, guerrera, anti-política con un carácter algo huraño pero al final eso es lo que termina agradando más.
Ahora "El Shadowcaster", el segundo de los 4. Ame este personaje aunque no tuvimos tanto como me gustaría y lo poco en la segunda mitad me decepciono su falta de protagonismo. El y Lyss pueden ser mejores amigos pero yo quiero algo más 7u7... No soy tem Mataleon.
Mataleon y Jenna fueron los otros dos narradores y me gustaron, ambos son personajes que evolucionan y aprenden rápido, también poseen ese carisma que atrae.
En fin, la pluma de Cinda Williams Chima me encanto de nuevo, sin dejar grandes huecos o la sensación de una lectura pesada aún con sus más de 500 páginas.

This book focuses on Lyss and the war. I had a challenging time trying to place the timing of this book with the previous. The author finally gave clues about a third in. Another person with the magemark is discovered. And the Empress finally appears.
Great read!
