Blade of Secrets by Tricia Levenseller was a fantastic read filled with a new world, magic, and a touch of romance. Ziva is a blacksmith who can imbue her weapons with her magic, and this brings people from around the land to seek her out. A warlord commissions a sword, and Ziva eagerly makes it. The result is a sword that is so powerful that it can topple kingdoms and steals its victims secrets. Ziva finds out about the warlord's evil intents and runs away with her sister. Can they find a good wielder for the sword?

I couldn't put this book down. I loved that Ziva is neurodiverse and that the author is as well. I feel like it is not common for fantasy heroines to be this way. She is also fiercely protective of her younger sister. I also love that there's a map of the world. I had a lot of fun flipping back and forth to see their journey. Highly recommend for fantasy lovers!
