Initiation
by Alethea Faust
glad i took the leap
It took me a bit to try this one, because I wasn't really sure what to expect, and I almost never read anything that has m/f content anymore let alone something that isn't truly romance (though it does end happily!). However, I was seriously pleasantly surprised! The writing was great, the characters fun and unique, and the world building was interesting. Oh yeah and the spice level is off. The. Charts!!!
My one and only complaint is that the magic in this world is so different than any I've ever read that I was left confused a lot at the beginning. I appreciated the chapter headings describing everything, but it still was a little... Out there. But the story was so exciting that I pushed through and really enjoyed, even if I'm left still a little mystified. On to book 2!
