Junk Mage by Elliot Cooper

4.0

4 Stars

My only complaint like the others who have reviewed this book is that it was simply not enough. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy myself because I did!

What’s not to love about a happy-go-lucky, always chipper mage, who can bend metal to his will? However, trouble always seems to find Quill, and he’s stuck on a hostile planet desperately needing parts for his broken ship to make it to his professorial job on time. When Quill comes across a cyborg protecting a junkyard of the very parts he needs, Quill tries to bargain and work his charm on the surly Hunter. However, Hunter is obligated to an evil mean witch, and he must guard her stuff, lest he be punished. He wants to help Quill but sadly, can’t.

This had some fun and funny with a good dollop of angsty feels, along with a very nice dose of action adventure. The romance is a burgeoning slow one and smexy is not always needed (albeit always wanted).

I really liked this intergalactic universe and its characters and only wish there were more stories about these two and the world they live in!
