Rebecca Ross writes a gorgeous finale to the Elements of Cadence duology in A Fire Endless.
We pick up a couple of weeks where we left off at the end of A River Enchanted. Adaira is struggling to find her place in the West with her birth parents, wondering if she would ever fit in. Jack, Torin, and Sidra are left to pick up the pieces in the East and try to lead the clan in Adaira's absence. One day, Torin discovers a blight in an orchard in the East that has somehow spread to the people, and he and Sidra work together to find a cure for their clan. Jack feels lost without Adaira until he finds purpose in a mission from a fire spirit named Ash. Adaira, Jack, Sidra, and Torin are all pushed to their limits as they come together with the spirits to try and finally stop the northern wind spirit, Bane, who is tyrannically ruling over the spirits. Unknown history will be discovered, and sacrifices will need to be made by everyone in order to stop Bane and unite the isle of Cadence once again.
Rebecca Ross has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her writing style captures lyrical prose, atmospheric settings, and multi-dimensional characters. One thing I love about her female characters is that they don't fall into the typical popular "strong FMC" umbrella; they are, instead, quietly strong and sacrifice and fight in their own unconventional ways. This novel especially captures the resilience of women as well as the importance of connection to the Earth, understanding amongst each other, and constantly learning from history to avoid making the same mistakes. Ross paints a beautiful picture of what life can look like when we work together, forgive, and simply communicate with one another.
Readers who love Ross' Letters of Enchantment duology or anything by Stephanie Garber would be remiss to ignore this series.
