A Mage's Power by Casey Wolfe

**I received a copy of this book from Netgalley, Thank you! **
This book had lots of things going for it and a lot of things that it did well. There was a found family, magic, werewolves, complex world building and love in every character interaction. It was so much fun to read about Rowan’s abilities and his interactions with Shaw and Caleb. They were familly and that was very clear. This book was adventurous and fun, at times it felt more like a movie than a book which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I think with more books in the series there’s so much here for the author can explore in terms of this world. The way the magic system worked was cohesive with the world building and was one of my favorite parts of the book. Rowan and Shaw were precious and I was rooting for them the entire time. I appreciated that the angst was minimal and communication was abundant. Caleb was one of my favorite characters! he was exactly the type of comedic relief you want in high pressure situations. His relationship with Rowan made my heart melt.
I would’ve loved to see more female characters and more characters of color. This was a book where all of the main characters were men and from what i can find of the authors fancast, predominantly white. More diversity would’ve made this book hit home, and I hope the author explores that in the coming books! I’ll definitely be picking them up.
Overall, I had a fun time with this universe, and I can’t wait for more.
