At some point I got it into my head that this was a middle grade, which it's not really. Bristal is 16 at the start and she undergoes some terrifying moments both during her apprenticeship and later when she's out in the wider world.
The beginning dragged however - there was a lot of info dumping in obvious ways that annoyed me. It ruined some of the tension between Brack and Tamarice, leeching the discord between them.
The beginning is also heavy handed about "good" vs "evil" vs "right" vs "wrong". You KNOW that neither Tamarice nor Brack is approaching their job as elicromancers correctly. Whether born of centuries of just them or willful ignorance to avoid past mistakes, they're both so obviously not going to compromise I found it hard to understand how they survived together.
Things pick up later when Bristal goes off to join up with Prince Anthony and his merry band of warriors.
Bristal's cleverness and resourcefulness are on full display during that part. And while I didn't believe she'd go dark, I appreciated the fact she tried her abilities as much as possible.
Overall I enjoyed this book and loved West's style.… (lisätietoja)
