The Spirit War (The Legend of Eli Monpress, #4)
by Rachel Aaron (Goodreads Author)
by Rachel Aaron (Goodreads Author)
Soooo I seriously love this series. I just love it to death, and this book doesn't disappoint. We learn a TON about Josef, and get a lot of world-building context as the author builds towards the fifth (and final) book, released this fall. CAN IT BE NOW PLEASE?!
The tone of this one is a bit more serious than the previous ones, but it is definitely due, as the glibness of characters is stripped back to reveal WHY they're so glib, and what they're really hiding. And the ending...OMG THE ENDING I was like, "WHAT!?!?!" really really good.
There was a LOT of setup for the ending, but I see brilliance in the threads she's spinning, I'm so confident the ending book will blow my top off. If you like light-ish fantasy, you definitely need to read this series. The first book shows a bit of the newness of the author, but each of the subsequent books gets better and better and better. Characters + Great Worldbuilding = Wonderful series!

Ah, yes, the thief, a fantastic class for a maniacal laughter and joy. also, people hate that it has no sex because well....lots of unresolved sexual tension goes..unresolved really
has no one on here ever heard the expression 'no sex please were british!' seriously people just the sexual tension/smoulderyness on its own is enough! honest it can be! lol
I just finished the first one, which I read entirely because it was at the top of an alphabetical list of books I had, and it was surprisingly class, I love Eli.
Rachel Aaron is not only a great author, she's an inspiration! Her blog post on writing 10,000 words a day forced my brain to come up with a whole book series and made me drop everything and start writing book one, which I finished (first draft) in just two weeks! I can't wait for Book #5!
