Another great transition from one book to another for Terah Edun! Ciardis Weathervane had so much happen to her in Sworn to Transfer from betrayal to blossoming love that the third book had to jump right back into the action but also provide some sort of way to get Ciardis back into the action with all the characters that I loved from the first two books since she was so removed from them. Having her be in a coma solved a lot of that! Being a fantasy book has it's advantageous ;)Ciardis is thrown into wars and conflicts that seem so far over her head, until she shows you what kind of character she really is and that she has a back bone. I loved that we connected with her long lost family and that gave a sort of contrast to her life, from the beginning of the series where she is strong because of being alone and having to survive to the present were she not only is she falling in love but learning to have a family member to love. She maintained her innocent nature but also is turning into quite the young woman and I am happy to watch this progress unfold.The story is thickening nicely as well. There is so much going on in this world that it seems difficult that we are going to wrap so many story lines up, but I am very interested to see where we are going. As we got to know more about the conflicts within the kingdom, I thought this installment did a very good job of maintaining a clear picture about what these conflicts are and where they are as well. That can be difficult in a high fantasy novel, and can sometimes get muddled with so much information. Not so in Sworn to Conflict and I thought it paced itself nicely. Ciardis Weathervane is the kind of heroine that I can picture myself following into the biggest, scariest battle to end to the world.....and that might be where we are headed here!
