REREAD AGAIN: Sept 1, 2020
For real though, has someone invented a book Tardis?

REREAD: Sept 19, 2019
I love this world so much. It's just the best. Even as a reread I inhaled this story. Seriously, has anyone figured out how we can jump out of our world into the world of a book? Is there some sort of book Tardis somewhere?

4.5 stars
Magic guilds, Elemental mages and psychics and other magic people, strong sense of friendship and loyalty.....what does this remind me of?...
Oh yeah.....
Say hello to the more adult, urban fantasy version of Fairy Tail, one of my FAVORITE ANIMES OF ALL TIME. I mean Erza is even my profile pic. I don't know if the similarities are wishful thinking on my part or if the author took inspiration from Fairy Tail, but either way I was SO EXCITED with the connections I was making.
I devoured this book in 1.5 sittings (the 0.5 being the little I was able to read during my break at work). Annette Marie writes some of the best action scenes I've read, and she just keeps getting better. I literally could not put my Kindle down because I had to know what happened next. Her writing style never fails to suck me in to the fictional world she has created, craving more of everything. Three Mages and a Margarita delivered it all.
The one thing I wish was different was knowing more about the main character, Tori. She has a past, but it is just briefly mentioned in the story. Since this is the first of a series (I'm assuming a trilogy), I'm sure this will be addressed in future books. But for the initial connection to the main character, a little more background information would have been nice.
A solid read. I can't wait for the next book!
