Sorcerous Rivalry by Kayleigh Nicol

5.0

As soon as I started reading, I knew this book was right up my alley. I'm a bit picky when it comes to my fantasy books, so when I got hooked in the first pages I knew it was gonna be good. The writing style reminds me of my other favorite fantasy writers and the pacing was well done as well. It didn't feel like it dragged or glazed over things for the sake of story progression.

The characters. THE CHARACTERS. I have to say I loved everyone and that's saying something because I had strong feelings of hate toward a few early on. Though I have to say that Kestrel takes my top spot because he really grew on me, I was a hater and indifferent to start and then I was flinging things and screaming by the end of it when he did or said things. Reshi is a precious child. . . who has insane siblings

Spoiler

and a life that was thrown straight into disarray by one moment of using his magic to save his ass and Kestrel's ass too. My favorite sibling is Kila because her level of insanity was equal with badassary and she wasn't actively trying to kill Reshi from the get go which you know was refreshing after his punk ass brothers. Plus she made me laugh and she was just got better as the book progressed after we met her.

I hated to see it end because I enjoyed it so much and I am looking forward to the next book because I need more and I need it like yesterday!
