This was a fantastically imaginative book based upon magic
and the a young girl as she learns how to use magic properly. It was a new take
on a story that we think we’ve all heard before; the story is well told and
gripping and takes the whole mentor / tutor relationship to a whole new level.
The main characters were the mage Thabit and Nin; when Nin
is found to have a mark on her hand she is sent to the mage Thabit. Though Nin
seems to be an ordinary non magical person when she is sent to Thabit however
he finds work for her in the kitchen cooking and cleaning for him. When she
begins developing her power he becomes more and more interested and they begin
a relationship. The two of them fight together to face something horrible happens
to the people around them Thabit is forced to journey to another realm and Nin
has to save him. The two main characters are very well written as the author
takes you on the journey along with the characters.
While there are a few noteworthy secondary characters in
this book they are not a big factor in the story as it very much centres on the
two main characters.
The storyline and pacing are very good as they go together in
building tension and keeping the reader at the edge of their seat until the
very end. I really liked the suspense and lead up to the two main characters
getting together and then when they actually came together which I felt was
very much worth waiting for.
3.5 stars a good read.
