Weapons and Wielders #4
Flowbreaker
In the aftermath of the Tournament of Sacred Swords, Keras and his companions are injured, exhausted, and on the run. After being pushed to their limits in the battle against Akadi, a malevolent demigod from another world, they're pursued by numerous enemies with their own agendas.
The greatest of these is Raizo, the Wielder of Cloudcutter, often believed to be the most powerful of the Six Sacred Swords. One of the leaders of the dragon-eating Tails of Orochi, Raizo is the swordsman who killed Reika's father when she was a young girl. And while she desperately wishes to pursue her vengeance, she is more than aware that their wounded and beleaguered band is in no condition to face him.
Seeking power and refuge, Keras delves into a place where few others dare to tread. One where, if he's brave and lucky, he might earn a piece of Flowbreaker, the shattered Sacred Sword of Water. A crystal shrine with power like no other, where he will face the shadows of a world long destroyed.
And find a fragment of his own past, once shattered like glass.

A rush of backstory
This book seems to be an apology for the lack of information the character has been given about his past so far, and feels like a lot of exposition being forced in to account for the next book possibly being the last of the series.
I enjoyed reading it to learn the details, but proably wouldn't a second time through like I would with all the other books in the series. I hope its setting us up for a truly spectacular fifth book!

as always magical
This book is does an amazing job setting up the overarching story in the Venaya Universe. Looking forward to the next one. Mallory does a great job blending her writing with Andrew’s to the point you can’t tell it was written by two different authors. Not sure what else to say, just definitely buy a copy for yourself and enjoy.

Story is great, some editing needed
Answered several questions, many still remain. Minor typos missing or added words, some wording I find odd, not sure if it's my interpretation or the intent.

Very enjoyable read, but giving this a lower rating than previous W&W books as the sheer amount of typos was immersion breaking at times.

Phenominal
A glorious addition to Andrew’s already incredibly detailed and thought out world. The hype and revelations this book has delivered cannot be expressed easily.
