Fire Study

From Goodreads:    The apprenticeship is over—now the real test has begun.

When word that Yelena is a Soulfinder—able to capture and release souls—spreads like wildfire, people grow uneasy. Already Yelena's unusual abilities and past have set her apart. As the Council debates Yelena's fate, she receives a disturbing message: a plot is rising against her homeland, led by a murderous sorcerer she has defeated before....

Honor sets Yelena on a path that will test the limits of her skills, and the hope of reuniting with her beloved spurs her onward. Her journey is fraught with allies, enemies, lovers and would-be assassins, each of questionable loyalty. Yelena will have but one chance to prove herself—and save the land she holds dear.

My Thoughts:

-    This is the last book in the trilogy!!  I'm sad and happy at the same time.  I want to read about Yelena and her companions forever, but I'm happy that I finally get some closure.  

-    The story starts a month after Magic Study ends.  I like when books begin really soon after the one before it.

-    Yelena needs a kick in the butt, and I'm SO glad she got one.  Why was she pushing everyone away?  Her reasoning was bull.  Especially with Valek, like he needs protection!  

-    I liked Fisk a lot.  I love that he turned one act of kindness into a thriving business.  I would love Snyder to write a series about him!  

-    I love Valek, I do, but I got a little tired of him and Yelena jumping each other's bones every time they saw each other.  Good grief!  

-    I love that we got to find out more about the commander!  He is one awesome character!  

-    I happy that Lief and Yelena get along now, and that Lief has become part of the gang.  He is a great asset, I like his character a lot, and it was nice to see the siblings come together.

-    I thought it was really great ending the series.  It tied up the loose ends.  When Yelena figured out what her powers were for and how to use it properly, a lot of things made sense, and it all really came together.
