Great storytelling...
Mallory is a magi and therefore shunned by most. She must keep her powers hidden from others. But when a boy is accused of theft by a mob of angry villagers, Mallory steps in in order to save the boy. This begins an epic quest that will ultimately save or doom Mallory. I personally loved the character Mallory. She was risking her life to help save this small band of complete strangers. That shows me not only her courage but her strength. The one thing that I had issues with with this book, was the world building. It seemed to be lacking detail in this respect. And my head, I had problems envisioning everything the author was seeing. I was also constantly asking myself is this an older-type world or a newer? It was difficult for me to even get a clear picture of what the characters were wearing. Perhaps this part of the book needs to be fleshed out a bit more. I do like the way the author describes the power coming from Mallory. I like how she describes it starting in her belly and tingling throughout the rest of her body and her eyes changing color. This added a whole nother level to the character Mallory and I really enjoyed it. All the characters were very dynamic and most of them were relatable. They were a little hard to keep track of that first because there are a lot of main characters, but eventually you catch on to who is who. The romance in the story was very cute and was completely unexpected. I feel that that was a nice addition to the story and a very wonderful surprise. And I very much liked the ending. A very good book throughout and one that I would be happy to recommend.
