I am so happy it’s a series, and very glad it had a pleasant ending, not some giant cliffhanger. I wont tell you what, its quite disturbing really, but overall this is a great story.

I will say, Avalon is one tough cookie, to go through what she does, it would have drove me insane. Happy go lucky type, and he is a great friend to Avalon. I love her friend Jack, he reminded me of Puck in the Iron Fey series, his personality just reminded me so much of him. It was fun and intense to read.Īvalon, our Fire Mage in this story is quite the character. Its quite interesting how the evolution of the Mage, changed over the years. Its like 500 or more years in the future, and technology does not exist anymore, everything is controlled with the magic of the Mages. Anyone who does not have a power, is treated like garbage, called a Human, which to them is like an animal, slaves, etc. There are many different types, Ice Mage, Healers, like her friend Jack. The whole idea of magic people, called Mages, like our main character, Avalon, is a Fire Mage, she can control fire, produce it, everything. Its such an interesting story, and not at all what I expected. This book totally hooked me in, hook, line and sinker, right from the start. I have a expert of chapter one at my blog, Michelle's Paranormal Vault of Books I doubt if I will be able to make it onto the next book in the trilogy. Besides having to get over all of the grammatical mistakes (I can usually ignore them because my grammar is atrocious too) the book ended up being to drawn out with no substance to the plot. It has a good premises and an eye catching cover. I really, really wanted to enjoy this book. He was an intelligent being and extremely protective. The only character I actually liked in the book was Hawthorne. I read the book expecting more out of him.

Jack was a one dimensional character who never was fully developed. Her whole thought process was slow making the story draw out when the reader was already able to get to the point over fifty pages before she did.

I did not really find any redeeming qualities about her character. Not only does she come off stupid but the book reads like she is overly obsessed with physical beauty. By her own design Ava’s bad luck runs amuck. I was terribly wrong I do not always enjoy fire mages, especially ones named Avalon Redding. Note: I received this book from the author for an honest review.
