The Patron Wars #2
The Flame
Banished.
Daina travels south with the raven tribe, fleeing the wrath of their fellow rebels and the growing chaos engulfing Dia Farun. Settling on the brink of the river Tamares, they prepare for the grueling task of surviving the winter without the support and food stocks of the clan. Daina struggles with the position of power and importance she has been thrust into. When Mani moves her training forward by introducing her to a new language of mysterious runes whose capacity even she doesn’t understand, things threaten to derail even further.
Back in Dia Farun, Aisma finds herself bereft of teacher and lover. Left to deal with the rebellion as it grows and the upper tribes rise again and again to meet them, they are forced to resort to drastic and dishonorable means to ensure the victory of the New Dawn against the uppers that would see them back under the boot. As Aisma rise through the ranks, she struggles with one fundamental tragedy: How could Daina possibly have survived the battle with Moose?
[Note: For reasons unknown, the final book in the series is not linking correctly to the others. Until I one day figure out what I'm doing wrong, it's called The Ash and here's the link to it: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... ]

Again, I'm not much of a reviewer but it's a travesty that this book hasn't gotten any more attention than it has. I've read a **ton** of fantasy, but nothing even remotely similar to this series. Another review I saw mentioned that it was based in a Norse setting, but to my uninformed self it felt close with North American native stories. The reverence of the natural world, bone & wood being used over metal, the beads, all of it was put together in such an interesting way... I need to know more!
The main characters struggles with mental health ring so true it's crazy. I've never read another book that hit quite so close to home on that front.
A lot of spelling/grammar issues, but that's almost to be expected with a self pubbed novel, and I believe the story more than makes up for it.

Absolutely amazing work of fantasy
One of the best books I've read lately. Daina is such perfect character, I've never read anyone quite like her before. The setting, the magic system, everything is so well done that I can't believe this series is not more well known. It's honestly criminally underrated.

It’s quite good and I love the world, but the love triangle seems unneeded. At least it was short. Overall Very good and pretty dang metal at times.
Oh while I’m here, the book could use another pass by an editor. Nothing too terrible, but a bit distracting at times.

Awesome story
The story is great. I would love a long-winded epic story about 10-12 books long about this saga. The powers in this world are complex yet easily graspable, and the characters feel real with their own strengths and weaknesses. Thank you for making a great series.
