Spellmaker by Charlie N. Holmberg
4.0
This is a 4.5 star read for me. It was extremely difficult for me to rate this one as it was a toss up between a 4 or a 5 star. The reality is, I don't mind endings tied up in a neat bow but for a duology there were still some loose ends I'd rather not leave untied.
Other than that, half a star lost is due to the fact that the pacing (plot wise) felt rushed. But this didn't waive the fact that I ate this book up in one day. Holmberg has a gift of transporting the reader into a whole new world of wonder. Her writing is very descriptive and intriguing.
Elsie Camden is an unregistered spellbreaker so it is odd we spent the entire first book avoiding the authorities to only have her arrested the moment the book starts. But our beau Bacchus Kelsie approaches the magistrate with an appeal. They are to be married within the month and rallies for her release. So we have started the adventure with an arranged marriage! What was a slow burn romance in Spellbreaker has become a whirlwind fast paced relationship in Spellmaker. Not that I mind of course
