Seducing the Sorcerer
by Lee Welch
No doubt about it, this is my favorite story of 2021!! What an enthralling read! Truly a unique blend of romance, intrigue, danger, and magical adventures. I’m so in love with the characters and their world right now. My kingdom … for a worple horse!! The world the author paints is so richly detailed and a gripping mix of mystery, wonderful and confounding magic, and entrancingly realistic medieval touches. It’s different from, but has a similar imaginative, even whimsical feel to it as Neil Gaiman’s Stardust universe.
We get the entire story from Fenn’s perspective, which is a great way for Morgrim to hold on to his secrets just that little bit longer, and he takes full advantage! Oh dearest Morgrim, you darkly intriguing and cunning conundrum of a sorcerer, you.
Fenn is … everything! He’s so unexpectedly special. Not the type of man you’d expect to get embroiled in magical shenanigans. I love him so much! He is down on his luck, the very picture of downtrodden and heartbroken disappointment with life, quite ordinary on the outside but with the most beautiful, loving heart. I love how sincere he is, how very honest and down-to-earth. He deserves all the good things. Fenn’s deep love and care for horses, all horses, is one of the most touching things about the book. It defines him and is a constant throughout the story.
One of the many things that I adore about Fenn and Morgrim together is that they are both in their forties and bond over similar life experiences (up to a point) even though they ended up in very different places of power and wealth. Their personalities are very different but make them quite well-suited, and the power balance is not always what you’d expect, with both sweet and deliciously steamy moments as a result.
The prose and dialogue are both incredibly well-written, evocative and a pure joy for any lover of the written word to take in. I was especially moved by Fenn’s heartfelt and plain, pure way of speaking and the dialect that snuck in, signaling the difference in upbringing between him and Morgrim.
All the stars!!
