Thank you to Raye Wagner and Rita Stradling for the personal invitation to review a pre-reader advanced copy of Magic of Fire and Shadows (Curse of the Ctyri, Book 1) for an honest review.

First and foremost, what I have to start out by saying I love about this world is broken down into two parts: world building and mythic background.

One — I love, love, love that this world feels so teemingly big, and spread out. I love that we haven't been force-fed pages of background or a million details, but instead, our understanding of these worlds, these kingdoms, these people, is given to us piece by piece from one of our two pod characters. It shows a trust in the readers to let them put things together, and it leaves a lot of room for other stories to be told in this world.

Two — I love the abundant use of mythology, mythic character, fairy tales, and legends from any number of backgrounds across our own world and stories. I loved seeing how things were taken and twined together in both the foreground and what was happening with the characters, in the background, for bein, even more, pieced together in subtle story pieces.

I am a fan in writing of both the singular point of view and of the multiples, think the normal YA book and then a comparison with books such as Game of Thrones and The Expanse, but I always hinge on one important thing where it blurs into the many — it has to serve a point in the story, and this story absolutely does!

Because of our two POV vantage point we get to see both societies, how they feel about each other, why they are interacting with each other the way they are, and how every dominoes in each other place, which gives us a very intriguing and in-depth viewpoint from an insider and outside, in every parts. Even more so, we’re championed by both sides of view to embrace and support both of our main characters in their own kinds of strength, faith, bravery, and embracing or battling their own feelings, choices, and even mistakes.

There’s a little bit here for everyone: magic, mystery, intrigue, danger, despair, evil machinations, startling hope, daring bravery, and a touch of slow burn romance. I will definitely be getting a copy for my classroom and recommending it out to our librarian, and students after it’s published.

(As a tiny aside for those who need to know, there is a cliffhanger, but it’s definitely worth it and it will leave you longing for the next book to start right now!) ( )
