We Hated LIGHT WIELDER by Rachel Schneider | Romantasy Book Review

Believe it or not, we're reviewing Light Wielder, the sequel to Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider. After Metal Slinger's controversial cliffhanger, we admit we were curious whether Light Wielder redeems the series... (Spoiler: it does not.) We're talking unresolved plot holes, a FMC who completely loses her personality, & one of the worst-written battle scenes we've ever encountered. If you loved this book, we lovingly disagree with you; if you hated it, welcome aboard.🤍 All CTB Links: ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/checkthisbookout💌 August Book Club: The Everlasting by Alix E.
