Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder

The apprenticeship is over— now the real test has begun.

When word that Yelena is a Soulfinder—able to capture and release souls—spreads like wildfire, people grow uneasy. Already Yelena's unusual abilities and past have set her apart. As the Council debates Yelena's fate, she receives a disturbing message: a plot is rising against her homeland, led by a murderous sorcerer she has defeated before.…

Honor sets Yelena on a path that will test the limits of her skills, and the hope of reuniting with her beloved spurs her onward. Her journey is fraught with allies, enemies, lovers and would-be assassins, each of questionable loyalty. Yelena will have but one chance to prove herself—and save the land she holds dear.

Ok. How do you know when your summer is officially over? When you find that all your favorite book series are ending. I finshed three and I'm on my way to finishing four. This is the case with Fire Study. As the last book it was both thrilling and fun. Even though this book was hardly suspenseful, I laughed twice as hard and freaked out about the suspense twice as much. I think I will add this series to my wishlist on Shelfari. The Study series was a blast to read. Yelena is a great heroine. I'm really gonna miss this series.
