The Way of the Blade

The Malja Chronicles #4

by Stuart Jaffe

When Malja leaves her post-apocalyptic world, she has one goal in mind -- find Harskill and make him lead her to the rest of her kind.

But when she discovers a world ravaged by a civil war that Harskill created, she is compelled to stop his madness before other innocent lives are lost.

Now, with the aid of Fawbry and Tommy, she seeks to unite a divided world while searching for her own -- efforts that may destroy both at the same time.

[Mellow · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Way of the Blade was a welcome return to Malja's universe. This fast-paced fantasy stayed true to the themes of the original trilogy while taking the reader to a new world with new trials. Welcome back, Malja!

There's not much to say other than the fact that these books always seem to be amazing, one after the next. The story and the action is always SO GOOD and i love the relationship between the marvelous trio. I love seeing Malja loosen up and smile, laugh, and hug Tommy and Fawbry but also be cold when she needs to be.
