A review by melles_gothic_reads
Out of Salem by Hal Schrieve

2.0

I did quite enjoy the story of this one, when I got past the slog of the first 100 pages I quite enjoyed myself. But I couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed at the very bad world building. At the beginning Z mentions most people use magic nowadays, but then at the end Aysel being a sorcerer makes her 'shoot to kill' the magic at the ending also made me confused since the writer never established any magic rules like aysels mother cant plant magic strawberries but aysel changes the world??

It was a fun read but for a fantasy book the world building was extremely lacking which made for a very confusing lackluster world
