The Silent War #3
Firemoon
It is almost time. Katja has prevailed against warriors, curses, demons and revenants and is nearly fully trained as a Redcloak. She and her mentor Serdra have bloodied the Brotherhood of the Pit multiple times, and thwarted their grabs for power.
But now a new leader has risen within the secret order. One with a personal grudge against Katja, the terrible might of the sorcerers of yore, and no patience for the subtle games of the Silent War.
Katja and Serdra get separated, as an invading army bolstered by the Brotherhood's demonic sorcery marches on a city, bent on conquest. At last, to her great excitement and dread, Katja must stand on her own in the city's defence. The Brotherhood has brought back the old wars of magic and monsters, and so Katja must embrace her people's old role as legendary champions.
Beyond a storm of steel, blood and fire lies the purpose and glory Katja has longed for. And near-certain death.

This has been a great series from start to finish. The characters are great. The plots are engaging. I love the overall done of these books. They don't feel like the classic fantasy ad nauseum and that's an excellent thing. Very dark and a bit Nordic.
Firemoon is a great conclusion to the series. I loved whatching Katja finish out her journey to becoming a Red Cloak. Always entertaining and engaging. This is a series that everyone should read if they like fantasy.

Mind candy
Eli Ferguson has written his best book yet. A wonderful story that builds and grows. This is a fun easy read. Mind candy to take you away from reality for a spell.

Awesome, awesome and action-packed. I really love Katja in this.
In Firemoon, Katja’s skills and all her knowledge. including her ability to sense sorcery and to ‘see’ events passed, are essential in their continued efforts to thwart the Brotherhood and the forces of evil, with the added pressure of turning the tides of a war. For the first time since encountering Serdra, she has to go about her duties alone and this at a time when so much is at stake. Now she will really put to work all her training and earn her name; Katja Firemoon.
There is a sense of urgency about Firemoon and a culmination of events. Katja is self-reliant, capable and is determined to do her part against the forces of evil as the Brotherhood pulls out all the stops. Light is also shed on the dissension and power struggle within the Brotherhood and the mysterious ‘Dragon and what this means for the world and the Redcloaks.
The plot moves along fairly quickly with here and there what intrigue, mystery and battle scenes against demons, revenants and sorcerers. We also get to meet a few other Redcloaks and learn a bit more about them. Katja surprises even herself and others and will use the Sentinel Flame for an especially touching purpose which will endear her to readers even more as we see a more tender side of her.
Intriguing, suspenseful, full of adventure and demon-fighting scenes, Firemoon is an entertaining, immersive and tension-filled read and a worthy addition to the series and the fantasy genre as a whole. This whole series was a joy to read and I highly recommend it.
