Master and Apprentice by Susan Mansbridge
5.0
If you enjoy fantasy novels that invest a lot of time in world building, you’ll love Master and Apprentice. Don’t get me wrong; that isn’t this novel’s only merit. The magical rules of this world seem original and well-rooted in its past. The apprentice of the title, Reez, is a well-painted character with understandable faults, strengths, and reactions. We want him to succeed and feel for him when he faces upset and obstacles.
There’s a slow burn in this novel that gathers momentum in the final third, leading to an exciting and devastating climax. The ending and the epilogue perfectly set things up for the next novel in the series. Brilliant.
