terriaminute's review
DNF, stopping at 87% after a particularly slow and stupid fight that starts with the MC finally realizing what's going to happen. Like, he was told. But he's just so stupid. And by default so are the people helping but not helping in the ways needed.
Tragically, this novel started out great. But then the prose competence level started falling. And falling. And falling. The scene that ends in sex is some of the dorkiest, stupidest dialogue I've ever read. The fights are... Ugh. But this one that made me give up? It was dissatisfying--and then the end was bled of any satisfaction wholly side from who dies. Like... What was the point, here?
But also, Wyatt is really quite stupid. If the writing had stayed good, I might've made it to the end. But I just can't. I'm done.

4 stars. This was a very enjoyable novel. The first book in the Blade Mage series has ample action, likeable protagonists and despicable villains, a sprinkling of rather obscure monsters to learn about, a helping of humor, and a fast-moving narrative. It's very readable, and suspension of disbelief held up fine. I will definitely pick up the 2nd in series soon.
