Week 11 Review: A Fire Endless

From Goodreads:

In the stunning conclusion to the Elements of Cadence duology, A Fire Endless finds the delicate balance between the human and faerie realm threatened by Bane, the spirit of the North Wind, whose defeat can only come through fire, song, and heart-rending sacrifice.

East and West. Humans and Spirits. Breccans and Tamerlaines. The Isle of Cadence has always held itself and its residents in a tenuous balance. But now Bane, the spirit of the North Wind, has pushed everyone and everything in his path off-kilter in a bid to claim dominion over all.

In the West, Adaira struggles to adjust to the more brutal, bitter ways of life among the Breccans. Striving to find her place in the clan, she swiftly realizes that it just might be the last role she desires to hold. And while magic blooms effortlessly for the Breccans in the west, the spirits continue to suffer beneath Bane's harsh power, felt in every gust of wind.

In the East, Jack is adrift without Adaira until he sings to the ember-weak fire spirits, acquiring a dangerous mission he never expected. One that is destined to lead him westward. Likewise, Torin and Sidra are consumed by a new mystery as sickness spreads first amongst the crops, and then to the people of the Tamerlaine clan. While Sidra desperately searches for a cure, Torin dares to strike a bargain with the spirits--a precarious folly anytime, but especially now as the days grow darker.

With the island falling further out of balance, humans and spirits alike will need to join together to face Bane, and Jack's gift with the harp will be called upon once more. Yet no one can challenge the North Wind without paying a terrible price, and the sacrifice required this time may be more than Jack, Adaira, Torin, and Sidra can bear to pay. 

My Review:
This was a really fantastic read! I loved the first one, and I love her writing, and I was really looking forward to reading this book! After the ending of the first book, I had to know what was going to happen next, because boy, the characters were left in some pretty hard places! 

After the way things were left in the first book with Adira being taken back to the Breccans, which was interesting, since we'd never seen what their lives looked like. And Jack was left behind. And Sidra became the wife of the leader of the Tamerlaines, which put lot more responsibility on her shoulders, at at such a chaotic time. 

The main threat in this book is Bane, the spirit of the North Wind. Being power hungry, his actions resulted in the kidnappings going down in the first book, and he hasn't been stopped yet. But dealing directly with him isn't possible, since the other consequences are still happening and have to be dealt with.

I really enjoyed how things turned out, with Jack, and Adira. They went through a lot, and it cost them, but they managed to make it through in the end. It was really satisfying to see how things worked out with the balance and everything! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Rebecca Ross!
