The breakout romantasy sensation by Rachel Schneider that has taken the internet by storm—bursting with suspense, romance, and breathtaking twists, this heart-stopping debut also includes a bonus scene from the highly anticipated sequel, Light Wielder.

Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta—the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people—and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true.

Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart.

Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, Metal Slinger is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series.

2🌶️3.5 ⭐️ interesting world building and unique concept. But this book should have been written in 3rd person POV not 1st person. The twists of the story are impactful but not totally believable because of the POV issue. Also book didn’t have a lot of high points, kinda one note for most of it. Felt like a LONG prequel than a book 1.

Liked but some story issues

I'm going to go on a reading slump after this book. So far, this is my top number 1 of 2025. I don't know how I'm gonna continue reading after this book. I can't wait to see what book two brings and how much better it can get!

everything!!!

I am sitting here in shock! I did not see that ending coming and I can usually figure out most of twists. Performance by the narrator was perfection. It’s not really a "cliffhanger” but you are going to be shocked in the best and worst of way! I don’t know what to think… I’m. It sure if I now hate Jovey or think she is brilliant. Now what?? Gosh the wait is going to suck… I’m just not knowing who is the good guys and who is the bad guys. However, the twist at the end does make me feel like Jovey sucks right now. However, if she is doing this to save the innocent then it is a really murky grey area. Also, poor Achor… I feel terrible for him. Smh damn that was good!

Wow Didn’t see that coming!

Loved the original fantasy world very different but not overly complicated. It was easy to understand the different territories and can’t wait to see what happens next

Wowwww what a freakin shake up! Totally makes sense based on her experience but heart breaking I need the second book now

This is such a fun read! Easy to get lost in! I found myself doing extra chores just so I could listen longer 😂 If I could sum this up in one sentence, it would be this...

It's The Bridge Kingdom in reverse.

The characters are flawed but intriguing. The world building was a little confusing in the beginning. I'm not sure how they were growing trees on a boat (I think that's what was happening). But once they hit land, it all made more sense. I really, really enjoyed this and can't wait for the next book!

A fun, easy read that's hard to pause
