Fairly decent read and I did enjoy the characters but there were just one too many things that either slowed the book down or otherwise detracted from my enjoyment of the novel.
This book had the potential to be so much more!I finished the book, but had very little interest in what was happening.In fact, I was often annoyed with the childish sibling rivalries and petty dramas.And the cliffhanger at the end... which literally involves a cliff... was horribly done and leaves ...

His life becomes complicated and involved with the politics of the kingdom. There's hidden magic involved in the plot and prophecy. It's pretty predictable in par...

Totally HOOKED! This is a great epic. Has everything! Action, adventure, heartbreak, grief and a villain (and other characters) you want to b**** slap! There's so much I can't even begin to describe. Just know it's great!
Based on the title I thought this would be about someone who would become a mage, not someone who becomes the princes errand boy. The title of the story threw me off, and I was continuing to read hoping that somewhere the prophecy you throw the main character into the mage role. Maybe actually have ...
This could have been so much more interesting if it was a LGBT book... Just sayin'! The interaction between the two main characters was what kept me reading the book. It had a good start, got really interesting in the middle, but by the end it was all over the place. The villain was too cliché for m...
Asher is a refreshing change to the common fantasy hero - he's neither a long-long son of some king somewhere, nor a diamond in the rough. He's merely rough. The unpolished fisherman who travels to the great city to work for a year, in order to earn money for his old dad. He says what he means and m...
