A review by lolomcro
Servant Mage by Kate Elliott
1.0
I struggled to get through this book. It's apparently the first book in a possible series, but it feels like a story that should be taking place in the middle of a series. Like, I feel like I was dropped into the middle of a book, and I've missed the first part of the story, with no explanations, and I'm just trying to pick up the pieces. People and places are mentioned like we should know what they are and we absolutely do not.
I also felt like the relationships were strange and forced. Like, I think Fellian is into the ladies, but there is a male character that is super into her and basically wants to marry her, but they've literally only said 5 sentences to each other.
I wish this was a much longer book, with more relationship-building and world-building, because some of the lore and magic are unique and cool.
I would currently not recommend this book in its current format. I wish it had been given more time and length.
