The Innocent Mage (Kingmaker Kingbreaker book 1)
I give this first book in the series 4/5 Stars ****
I try to pick up a new author every now and again, just to get a little something different. I picked the Innocent Mage by Karen Miller up on a whim because amazon told me I wanted it. (You know how amazon watches every thing you buy/look at / think, and then tells you what you want even if you don’t want it). Well…amazon was right. I wanted it.
This book turned out to be fantastic. The only gripe I have at all is that the ending leaves you hanging (or maybe falling is a better word). The protagonist is refreshing. The speech takes a little to get accustomed to, but I found myself rather enjoying Asher after 100 pages or so. I don’t want to spoil the book for anyone, but I really enjoyed the magic system in this book, and I think that Karen does a good job of character development. Asher changes through the course of the book, and thats all I can tell you. There is enough intrigue and open plot to make you come back for more, as I’m sure I will have to read the next book.
