Metal Slinger

Fire & Metal, Book 1

De: Rachel Schneider

Narrado por: Andi Eloise

The breakout romantasy sensation by Rachel Schneider that has taken the internet by storm—bursting with suspense, romance, and breathtaking twists, this heart-stopping debut also includes a bonus scene from the highly anticipated sequel, Light Wielder.

Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta—the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people—and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true.

Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart.

Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, Metal Slinger is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series.

Go into this one blind and you won’t regret it!! Holy Grial level romantasy!

Completely worth that credit. Don’t spoil it for yourself and go into it blind. Great romantasy.

What a Tangled Web We Weave

This book caught me off guard and left me reeling. The story building was great. The FMC is powerful and fierce. The books hits all my romantasy expectations, but the pacing is slow. I give it 4 stars because the plot twist is confusing. I will definitely be reading book 2.

Wowwww what a freakin shake up! Totally makes sense based on her experience but heart breaking I need the second book now

Loved the original fantasy world very different but not overly complicated. It was easy to understand the different territories and can’t wait to see what happens next

Soooo good!

Refreshing plot unlike some of the common fantasy romance tropes. Narration was great! I binged this in a few days.

A fun, easy read that's hard to pause

This is such a fun read! Easy to get lost in! I found myself doing extra chores just so I could listen longer 😂 If I could sum this up in one sentence, it would be this...

It's The Bridge Kingdom in reverse.

The characters are flawed but intriguing. The world building was a little confusing in the beginning. I'm not sure how they were growing trees on a boat (I think that's what was happening). But once they hit land, it all made more sense. I really, really enjoyed this and can't wait for the next book!
