About Sparking Fire Out of Fate
Broken loyalties. Uncertain fates. Two kingdoms hanging in the balance. . . The exhilarating finale in bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer’s Forging Silver series will leave readers breathless!
Callyn has grown closer to Queen Lia Mara in Syhl Shallow, bonded by the secret magic they share. But their magic can stay hidden only so long, especially when a dangerous plot on the Queen’s life forces Callyn to work with the man who betrayed her.
In Emberfall, Tycho and Jax are struggling to rebuild their connection after months apart, complicated when they learn of Truthbringers causing trouble at the borders. Sent to investigate together, Jax and Tycho soon discover that the rebellious faction has formed a devil’s bargain with the magical scravers to destroy human magic once and for all.
When their missions bring them together, Tycho, Jax, and Callyn find themselves facing threats from all sides. With one last chance to save their magic and their kingdoms, they must work together, or lose everything.
War has erupted. Love is tested. And without sacrifice, magic could destroy everyone.
My Review
It’s so weird to finally reach the end of this series, which is itself a spinoff of the Cursebreaker series, which started in 2019. (I think the first book in that series is still my favorite of them all, but I’ve enjoyed all the books. It’s hard to beat watching Harper and Rhen fall in love.)
By this point, so many books into this fantasy universe, I felt like I knew Kemmerer’s writing and the rules of the world, so I felt pretty confident that I knew what to expect from the book. And for a story like this, I feel like that’s a pretty great place to start reading. The series had made certain promises, and this book delivered on them all.
I liked the way that all the threads of the story (both stories, really) came together in the end of this one. I liked seeing the evolution of Tycho and Jax’s relationship as well as Callyn and Alec’s. There was a time when I did not think I could give Alec a chance, so it was cool to see how the story softened my feelings toward him and made me start rooting for him and Callyn to truly open up to one another.
I’m glad I stuck this series through to the end. It’s been a fun one to read, and really cool to follow especially the characters who appeared in Cursebreakers across both series to the end.
Content Notes
Recommended for Ages 16 up.
Profanity/Crude Language Content
Strong profanity used somewhat infrequently.
Romance/Sexual Content
Kissing. A couple of scenes include explicit sexual contact.
Spiritual Content
Some characters have the ability to perform magic. In certain circumstances, magic can be used to control others, which causes a lot of fear. Scravers are humanlike with wings, sharp claws, and long fangs. They have their own magic.
Violent Content
Situations of peril. Battle scenes in which people sustain serious or fatal injuries. A group of soldiers discovers a courier who was murdered. A mob clearly intends to kill mages.
There are a couple of vague references to sexual assault that happened to one character long before the story began.
Drug Content
Characters drink alcohol. References to one character drinking way too much and sort of absenting herself from her life and responsibilities for a time.
