The Reluctant Mage by Karen Miller

dark medium-paced

3.0

This was okay. There was a lot of travelling, and it reminded me in part of Lord of the Rings, but with a smaller cast. I absolutely HATED the dialogue linguistics, with all the backwards sentences of Ewen and his crew. Uuughh. Just infuriating. Wasn't a huge fan of the olken nuances either. I think this, on the whole, made me really hate sections of the book- because every other sentence was slightly twisted backwards for 'style'. 
Deenie was ok as a character, but merely ok.
It felt a bit cheap to just rehash Morg as the big bad though. IDK. I expected more.
