Not really my thing.

Thank you Netgalley for sending me this arc!

I loved Evocation, so getting to see a glimpse of the beginning of Rhys and Moiras relationship was everything I needed.

S.T Gibsons prose is magic - there is no other explanation for how a 92 page novella can make you cry.

One of my biggest dislikes in books is the miscommunication trope, however the way this is written feels so human - hiding little parts of yourself that you may feel ashamed of from loved ones so much so that they build up into every day life and affect your mood. It felt like a relief when Moira and Rhys finally broke down and discussed their feelings, just like it does in real life when you finally talk things out.

I am very much looking forward to the continuation of this series, and honestly anything else S.T Gibson writes.

It took me way too long to pick up The Summoner’s Circle series, sitting in my shelf, waiting for me to finally devour another gem from my favourite author. 
This novella is short and sweet, makes you want so much more of Moira and Rhys and the magic systems conveyed in this book. 
As always, S.T. Gibson’s writing really grabs me and pulls me into the setting and all those emotions. 
I cannot wait to start Evocation now.

No plot. Just a squabbling couple with unnatural dialogue.

I found the lack of communication between the two MCs very frustrating, I get that its kind of the point but it was still frustrating none the less and I was a bit annoyed how they treated David (he was just trying to help!). I did like how everything resolved at the end and I am even more excited to read Evocation and get to know these characters even more.
