Sorcerous Rivalry by Kayleigh Nicol

4.0

The book was much better than the sale copy in the description led me to believe. The sample successfully converted me into a buyer with a promising hook and inciting incident, but I did experience some buyers remorse until about the 30% mark when things started to get interesting and fleshed out. I didn't feel any midpoint sag, with the weakest link for me being chapter 2. Once the story gets going, it stays consistently interesting. My biggest complaint is the lack of real ending. The story ends on a cliffhanger and despite Reshi's increasing comfort with his abilities, the ending shows a definitive lack of character growth on his part. Even though the story is clearly Reshi's, Kestral has the strongest narrative/character arc.
