NOTE: I received a complimentary ARC of this book from NineStar Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
It's taken me a few days to write this review because I honestly didn’t know what to say, in a good way. This is why I always have trouble writing reviews about books that I really enjoy, I have a hard time thinking of anything to say other than just “I LOVED IT!” so these kinds of reviews always end up being very short and probably not helpful to anyone at all lol
The first thing that struck me about this book was the fantastic mix of modern technology and magic, it’s possibly one of my favourite kinds of story settings/tropes and when it’s done as well as it is in this story? Oh boy, that’s an automatic five stars in my book. There’s just something about the idea of being able to send a text and throw a fireball at the same time that really speaks to me.
Along with the amazing world setting was my next favourite thing about this story, the heartwarming relationships. I wish we could have seen more of Rowan’s relationship with the other guild masters, they all seemed quite close but without any background to go on it’s difficult to understand why. But Rowan and Caleb’s friendship/family/pack dynamic was beautiful and Rowan and Shaw’s relationship, whilst a little insta-love, was so touching and adorable. And all three of them combined, the way Caleb welcomed Shaw into his pack openly? Just everything!
The only issue I had, if you can even call it an issue, was the predictability of quite a few parts of the story. I knew right from the first time Badger was mentioned that he wasn’t just a normal cat and so when Rowan was told about the dark mage, I instantly knew it was him. I also knew from the first scene with Shaw that he wasn’t mundane, and that Caleb would find his mate amongst Shaw’s team. BUT even though those things were predictable, it didn’t make me love this book any less.
I'm so happy this book is going to be a series because I need so much more of this world and the characters!
“I don’t know how to explain it. What’s between you and me? I’ve never felt anything like it. All I know is that if witches and mages had mates, then you would be it for me.”
A Mage’s Power by Casey Wolfe will be available July 16, 2018. Check it out on Goodreads!
