Mercenary Magic by Ella Summers
3.0
Mercenary Magic was an interesting book with some entertaining moments throughout it. In it, you will meet Sera. If the title doesn't give it away already, she is a mercenary and works for the oldest guild in San Fran - Mayhem. The characters she deals with and works with were amusing at times.. but it seemed like this plot was following the very familiar formula like so many books out there do.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the book and the characters.. but it wasn't that original to me. Which I get. If the formula works.. it works. I just think reading the same storyline over and over again is repetitive and boring. I'll still try it out though because maybe one thing will be different and change my overall opinion.. it just didn't happen with this one.
Sad face.
There are definitely things that I liked about Sera because she was sort of mysterious about a few things. Yet, I just knew secrets were going to come out at one point. So I was just sitting and waiting around for someone to figure out that she is dragon born.
If I do end up diving into the next book, I'm hoping that there's a bit more character growth between Sera and Kai, who she ends up working with (sort of). Also if the villains could be a bit more.. ya know more. Evil. Destructive. Original. Entertaining. Just more more.
