Book Review:
The Novice (Summoner book 1)
🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎/5🦎
I fully and freely admit that I read this book because an amazing boy (man really) I really like loved it and suggested it. I put aside other books to read it. And it also took me so very long to read if you look at the start and end dates because I spend many hours of the day talking to the aforementioned hottie which left a lot less time for reading. And for a change I’m not sorry for being distracted.
But you want to know about the story right? Well, it’s really good! Fletcher is a good hearted young man who finds himself in a situation he never could have imagined surrounded by folks he never could have imagined knowing. Othello is a great character and seeing where he ends up is a huge part of the draw. The twins are so damn awful and I have a terrible feeling they get worse as the story continues. The world building deserves mention here. I like the way it’s done as the story progresses, it flows so well.
There are some messages weaved into the storytelling, like hey don’t be a racist. There’s a great Magic system and really interesting side characters. And the creatures/demons are so fabulously described!!
I can’t wait to see what happens next.
