What a great introduction to Annia and her adventures! Fascinating! I have truly missed this world of mages and shifters. Humans to of course! Annia finds herself the protection of two mage children travelling back home at their grandfathers behest. Though we all know it will never be as straight forward as that! I cannot wait to see what she gets up to next, where her path will take her and if we get to see some familiar faces along the way. Exciting and easy to read.

Called by Magic: A Mischief and Magic Prequel by Jasmine Walt is a Baine Chronicles World Novella and an exciting new story to dive into. This book brings you back to characters you are familiar with but introduces you to new ones as well. In this book the reader journeys along with Annia as she takes on a task of escorting two young mage children back to their grandfather. Their father has gone missing and their grandfather wants them home as swiftly as possible. They will be entering dangerous territory, and there will be threats along the way, but it is the second task that Annia will be taking on that will change her life.
Called by Magic is an engaging story from start to finish. I will admit that in the beginning, my interest ebbed in and out, but the deeper the story got the more I became pulled in. I have to say that I truly like Annia. She knows when and where to pick her battles. She’s not a hot-head who pops off and insists on proving herself. I’ll admit that in one scene I was worried that would be her character, but I was pleasantly surprised when she chose to walk away. The author sprinkles in familiar names and situations throughout the book, but the story stays focused on Annia.
I appreciate how well written this story is. I have to admit that I am a touch disappointed that justice won’t be dealt with someone who truly deserves it, but that’s only because I’m left curious as to the extent of what really happened with Sorbano. I am pleased to say that I noticed zero editorial issues to distract the reader, so this will be a truly enjoyable story for those who choose to read it.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. This is an engaging fantasy novel, and I love the amount of mystery that the author weaves into it. I have to say that I am eager for more Annia and her new “friend” Garalina. For those who have read Jasmine Walt’s books, I highly encourage that you pick this book up. It’s one you’re sure to enjoy and don’t want to miss!
