I’m absolutely eager to dive into King of Sword and Sky by C.L. Wilson, and I can't wait to see where this next chapter takes us. First off, Ellysetta has truly grown on me. By the end of Lady of Light and Shadows, I wasn’t irked by her anymore. It’s like she flipped a coin and fully embraced her role, stepping into her power as a fierce protector of the ones she loves. That shift in maturity makes me excited to see how her journey continues. She’s become this powerhouse, and I’m really hoping to see more of that strength come through in this next book.

I’m also really looking forward to seeing more of Ellysetta’s family, especially her younger sisters. They are absolutely adorable, and their innocence, joy, and mischievous nature just light up the story. Honestly, they’ve become two of my favorite characters, right up there with Bel, who always brings humor and depth. I think many readers will fall in love with them because they bring so much heart to the story, and I’m eager to see how they’re woven into the plot this time around.

One thing I’m really hoping for is that Ellysetta finally stops running from herself. She’s not going to complete her bond with Rain if she keeps doubting who she is and what she’s capable of. Her attitude about her magic can be frustrating, but I also get it—she’s innocent, still stumbling through this new world and power she doesn’t fully understand. That said, I’m actually starting to like her relationship with Rain more, and I’m eager to see where it goes from here.

And let’s not forget Den Bronson! I’m delighted that it looks like he’s finally getting what’s coming to him. I doubt the High Mage is going to take losing Ellysetta lightly, so I’m bracing myself for whatever conflict might be coming. Let’s jump into King of Sword and Sky and see what’s in store for us in this next installment of the Tairen Soul series!
