Book Review: Mirror Mage (Dragon's Gift: The Huntress #2) by Lindsey Hall

Mirror Mage by Linsey Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I finally have all of the Huntress series in paperback, and I’m so happy that I can now binge read them all.

I really enjoyed this, and the way that it has built on the events of Ancient Magic. I liked the slow developments that we see with all the characters; the way that you learn more about Aidan’s past as well as how the relationship grows between him and Cass. I like that nothing has been hurried, it would have been too predictable for them to become a thing right off the bat, this slow gaining of each others trust is much more entertaining. I also liked that this book started to peel back the layers on Cass’s past with out revealing to much in one go.

There was plenty of adventure in this book, making for a real page turner....so my reading binge continues.....

Good series. Recommend

Book Review: Wings Of Hope and Beyond The Veil (The Veil #0.5 and #1) by Pippa DaCosta

Wings of Hope by Pippa DaCosta
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm fairly certain that I got this from an Instafreebie Newsletter. I had never heard of this series before and so didn't really know what to expect. This novella seemed like a good place to start and get a taste for the authors writing style.

Having read this and just finished book #1 in the series, I actually feel that I may have bee better off reading this after book #1. It was definitely a good introduction to the main character Muse, and by the end I was drawn in enough to want to know more about the characters, and the world that this is set in. I think that there could have bee a little more explanation about the Hierarchy and ownership thing works, as it was a little confusing at times since I was reading this with no previous knowledge of this world. This is really just a minor thing.

I like this novella a lot, and found it intriguing enough to want to read more. I would recommend it.

Beyond the Veil by Pippa DaCosta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not sure if I got this from Instafreebie or the Author's newsletter.... Point is I got free from somewhere, and feel that it is only fair that I review it in return. So I also have the #0.5 novella Wings of Hope, and by the time I reach the end of that, I found myself wanting to know more about Muse. (So I guess it was a good thing that this was also in my Kindle library!)

I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced with a lot of action, that really captured my attention and made it hard to put down. I liked the author's writing style. It was engaging and had a good flow to it, as well as having enough description seamlessly incorporated for you to be able to build up a really clear image in your head, of what is going on and what this world looks like. I also liked the characters. They were well written and believable, with individual personalities, and good chemistry.

I think the only slightly negative thing I have to say about this book is the way that Stefan's employment status seems to yo-yo. It just seemed a little too repetitive with the coming clean, no wait, he lied again. Once or twice would have worked well in the story, so for me there was a little over kill on this element of the book.

But that aside, I really did enjoy this book and would certainly get the next one. I recommend giving this a go.
