Fire and Metal by Rachel Schneider is a romantasy duology starting with Metal Slinger, set in a divided world where the exiled Alaha live on floating platforms amid treacherous seas, while the land-dwelling Kenta hold power through a fragile peace treaty. Thrilled to attend the annual market on Kenta soil, fierce Alaha warrior Brynn accidentally shatters the treaty in a chaotic clash, drawing the intense gaze of Kenta soldier Acker, whose accusations of theft mask deeper secrets about her true identity and a hidden world of magic. Torn between loyalty to her home, friends like Kai and Messer, and the magnetic pull of Acker's revelations, Brynn embarks on perilous high-seas adventures, knife fights, and betrayals that challenge her heart, fate, and everything she knows amid rebellion rumors and awakening powers.

Jamie’s review

Well, I devoured this book in less than 24 hours. I want to tell you to read it because misery loves company but I also DON'T want to tell you to read it because your jaw will be on the floor along with mine after the INSANE twist and cliffhanger at the end. Book 2 cannot get here soon enough.

Kudos to Rachel Schneider because NO ONE saw that twist coming. If someone says they did, they are a liar. It seems impossible given the POV throughout the book, but here we are. Bewildered. Aghast. Shook.

Love love love the slow burn, love the writing, love the characters. GIVE ME BOOK 2 🙏🏼

Some cliffhangers leave you in suspense but you are somewhat appeased with the reveal. You can peacefully wait for the next book. Metal Slinger is not like that. You will have 100 questions and you will be BIG MAD that there was no foreshadowing and no answers. And you will be BIG SAD for Acker. #justiceforacker
