Discover Elysian

Enjoyable read, great potential, unique concept

Revisado: 03-22-19

I liked the plot, it was great though I found myself a little bore at the end of the book. I guess after all the characters have been through, they deserve a mind-blown ending. Not that it was bad, I just think there were some scenes that didn't sit well with me. But the ending at the end of the last chapter—like really the end of the first book—was heartbreaking. I can't get over it, I mean, how could he?


The world was interesting. This book has a great concept but Nicol didn't discover much of it in the first book. I wish I could see more of Zarapheth in the sequel. There areasome fantasy books that's hard to get into in the beginning but not this one. Sorcerous Rivalry was well-written, I could dive in easily into the story and enjoyed my time reading it.


This book has an amazing magic system. Yes, I knew there will be magic involved but it turned out better than I thought it would be. It's new and unique at the same time so I enjoyed every part where the characters were blasting their powers. Unfortunately, even though the magic sounded amazing, I couldn't say the same about the battles. I expected them to be grand but they were a little disappointing.


Now, let's talk about the characters!
Oh my, how I love Reshi! He was enchanting, funny, strong, and kind. This book was written in the third person of his POV but it doesn't decrease his characterization. Stand out and charming, I had a great time being in his head and saw the story unfold through his eyes.

Kestral; an ex-captain and now a mage hunter. He was mysterious, quiet, strong-willed. He balanced Reshi's presence perfectly. I love his sharp mind and soft heart. Yeah, he sure has the softest heart. Don't let his serious behavior fool you.

Kila; MY GIRL! Brave, strong, and honest, she stole my heart from the very first moment she appeared with her sword. She's my favorite.


Aside from the story, I also loved the romance! I smiled and giggled whenever Reshi and Kestral started their banter, or when the tension was so thick, or when they were just having a moment of loving each other. I'm expecting more awesome magic battles, a deeper look into Zarapheth, more Kila's badass moments, and especially more Restral in Mistress Mage! Please ignore my poor attempt of making a ship name of one of my favorite OTP


Overall, Sorcerous Rivalry was an enjoyable read with great potential. If you like magic, hunting, great characters, and thirsty for M/M romance, I recommend you to try this book.
