The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso

4.0

A gripping tale of political intrigue with fun characters, a well established magic system and many twists and turns. The protagonists sheltered upbringing helps introduce the reader to a wide world without feeling overly expositiory. A weak point was the initial implementation of the romantic sub plot, that started rushed and felt forced at points. By the end the characters had good chemistry and the romance mixed well with the flow of the narrative.
