The Faceless Mage
by Kenley Davidson
Review also on my bookstagram: emm_enchanted
What an amazing read! I'm obsessed.
The Faceless Mage revolves around Leisa, a guard to the princess of Farhall. Sent to the kingdom of Garimore as a spy, she comes across the masked assassin Raven, the most feared person in the Five Thrones. Leisa cannot help but be curious about him and is determined to learn his secrets. Navigating deadly plots and court intrigues, Leisa must also decipher her feelings for someone who is supposed to be an enemy.
I couldn't put this book down once I started reading. I devoured it in less than a day and I can't wait to pick up the sequel. Leisa is one of my favourite female protagonists. She is practical, smart, considerate and the right amount of sarcastic. I liked the fact that she didn't jump head first into sacrificing herself, which made her more believable.
Raven was an interesting character with a lot of inner conflict. I liked his intensity and protective nature. I want to see how both Raven and Leisa get along in the coming books.
All the characters were so well written, including the supporting ones and the villains.
The world building, though not very detailed, was great.
This book had slow burn and enemies to lovers romance which are two of my favourite tropes in romantic fantasy.
This was such a fast paced, full of excitement kinda novel. There wasn't a single moment that I felt distracted, it had me hooked completely.
I recommend this to all fantasy lovers.
