From Goodreads:
Eighteen-year-old Ziva prefers metal to people. She spends her days tucked away in her forge, safe from society and the anxiety it causes her, using her magical gift to craft unique weapons imbued with power.
Then Ziva receives a commission from a powerful warlord, and the result is a sword capable of stealing its victims' secrets. A sword that can cut far deeper than the length of its blade. A sword with the strength to topple kingdoms. When Ziva learns of the warlord's intentions to use the weapon to enslave all the world under her rule, she takes her sister and flees.
Joined by a distractingly handsome mercenary and a young scholar with extensive knowledge of the world's known magics, Ziva and her sister set out on a quest to keep the sword safe until they can find a worthy wielder or a way to destroy it entirely.
A teenage blacksmith with social anxiety accepts a commission from the wrong person and is forced to go on the run to protect the world from the most powerful magical sword she's ever made.

My Review:
I loved reading these books! I've really enjoyed her books before, and I needed to pick up this duology, they were some that I needed to read to catch up with all her books, and they sounded great, so I had to pick them up!
Ziva finds comfort in being a blacksmith, in creating items to help people. Actually dealing with people, that's not easy, and I could absolutely relate to her social anxiety. That her creations end up being something she has to contain because they could be used for world domination, not great.
Eighteen-year-old Ziva may have defeated a deadly warlord, but the price was almost too much. Ziva is forced into a breakneck race to a nearby city with the handsome mercenary, Kellyn, and the young scholar, Petrik, to find a powerful magical healer who can save her sister's life.
When the events that follow lead to Ziva and Kellyn's capture by an ambitious prince, Ziva is forced into the very situation she's been dreading: magicking dangerous weapons meant for world domination.
The forge has always been Ziva's safe space, a place to avoid society and the anxiety it causes her, but now it is her prison, and she's not sure just how much of herself she'll have to sacrifice to save Kellyn and take center stage in the very war she's been trying to stop.
In Master of Iron, the conclusion to Tricia Levenseller's exciting Bladesmith YA fantasy duology, a magically gifted blacksmith with social anxiety must race against the clock to save her beloved sister and stop a devastating war.

I loved this cast of characters that came together to contain the damage, with her sister, Kellyn and Petrik, they were such a cast! I loved their banter, and their bonds, and how things developed as the books progressed!
Watching them deal with the politics that her magic blades are bringing her into, as they dealt with warlords and princes, it was an epic story! They were facing off against some pretty big powers, but their combined skills working together persevered!
Loved reading these books and I can't wait to read more by Tricia Levenseller!
