Voice of Dominion
by Melanie Cellier
With every book Cellier allows us to explore more and more of the world she has created in the spoken mage. And this book really got me excited because we finally got to see and learn more about the big war the country is involved in and Elena has to play a part in. By sending the young mages in their third year to the front, we as readers finally get to see and feel the conflict. And I assume it was the same for the characters.
What I really love is that Cellier truly takes the time to build up her character's heroism. Elena is trained, she makes mistakes, she's scolded, she learns new things, she discovers new powers and she grows. She's not a heroine all of a sudden. She really has to grow into that role and she also needs time to accept that role. It feels realistic and true to how it truly happens. Heroes aren't born, just like villains, they're made.
And finally, after two books of circling around each other, Elena and Lucas are finding their way towards each other. I'm however really glad that a new obstacle arrises. After all, we have one more book to go and if there's one thing I truly dislike, it's couples getting together too early and then growing boring. I like Lucas and Elena, how they interact and the fact that there are so many obstacles for them to be together.
In this book we also get to see more of the politics and Elena makes the first steps to become a player on the chessboard. I really can't wait to see how that will play out in the next book, because I get the feeling that we're finally gonna see the politics in all their ugly and beautiful glory. The book is already on my shelf, so I'm sure I'll pick it up soon!
