A review by leighkelly
The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso

1.0

DNF.

I don’t agree with it and it feels like every other ill written YA novel.

Girl is secretive at start, must go to the bad part of town without mother finding out.
Girl sees something happen.
Man appears out of nowhere “only you can save her”
Man is military asking a civilian for help (rather than protecting her)
Girl helps, saves the city.
Fire mage is now imprisoned and can only use her power with girls permission
Girl and man flirt and “something moved in my chest when he looked at me”. GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

I’ll not be wasting my time with this one.
