About this listen

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.

Loved it all, the twist at the end no though… I really didn’t see that coming!

What a twist!

Metal Slinger is an addictive romantasy that pulls you in fast and doesn’t let go. Brynn is a fierce heroine, the magic system is unique and thrilling, and the slow-burn romance with Acker is chef’s kiss. The twist near the end? Absolutely jaw-dropping—I did not see it coming. While the pacing dips briefly, the payoff is worth it. Can’t wait for book two!

Tht ending 🤯

This story fantastic!! 5 star read. Narration was ok but not the best. Duet definitely needed.

Excellent read. Average narration.

This was heading for a 5 star review from me because I enjoyed the ride enough to over look a few minor niggles a long the way. The audiobook narrator is fantastic. But that ending? I can't decide if I love it for the twist or really, really hate it. Either way, I'll read book 2 whenever it comes out!

4.5 stars... but that ending??
