The Reluctant Mage by Karen Miller
5.0
I adored Innocent mage and awakened mage, truly 2 of the best books I have ever read! And was delighted to see another series with the same world and characters was being released, but I was worried it wouldn't be as good as the first series. I wouldn't say the 2 books in this series stand up to the AWESOME-ness of the first series, but they still totally deserve their 5 stars.
in this book we mostly follow Deenie (asher's daughter and rafel's sister) as she and charis try to travel through Morg's land to find Rafel, Goose and the others who went on the expedition over the wall. They face some terrifying things and you really feel as if you are there with them, feeling their pain and suffering in the harsh lands. They are joined by Eric, who, along with his men, help them get to Morg's city.
Morg's power is growing, and the stronger he grows, the more he destroys of rafel's mind and body (which he is possessing). So it's up to deenie, charis, eric and arlin to fight him and hopefully save rafel in the process.
This is an excellent book which had me hooked from the start. Usually female characters in books drive me mad, but Deenie is such a great character that I didn't mind reading the story mostly from her view.
Well worth the read, but at least read Prodigal mage first, but I highly recommend reading Innocent mage and awakened mage before that, otherwise a lot of the references may not make sense to you.
