I read this book as part of the #SPFBO reading I am currently working on, and I have to say I was not disappointed. I went into this book hoping for mage battles and epic magic and a whole lot of drama, and that is exactly what I got. It's a fairly short fantasy book, but it's got a lot of good moments and it packs a strong punch of fun. I would certainly say this is well worth a read.
In this story we follow two brothers, Braden and Quin Reis. They haven't been best of friends for some time thanks to some shared tragedies in their pasts, but at the time we are following it seems that they are going to have to get along because there is an evil growing and gaining followers, and some of these followers are supposed to be very important people in the world order.
What I liked about this book was that it was pure fun at times. I tend to find that reading fantasy is how I like to escape and enjoy my time, and this book is a prime example of that. The characters and plot are well done for the number of pages the book has, and feel feisty and exciting. The plot moves at a solid pace, and the book feels intriguing from page one where we're following a young mage who is spying on her master.
Overall I think this book was definitely one of the better ones in my bunch and I am looking forward to continuing the series hopefully too as it seems to already have a few others out. I would recommend this one for sure, 4*s
