D'Avery is a mage equipped with a luck magic known as the Astrig Ka'a. Rather than controlling his powers as most mages do, D'Avery's magic pulls him where he is needed. While sometimes useful, like while outrunning those bested in a game of poker, it is generally a hinderance. However, his powers are expanding at an amazing rate, allowing him better control over these new aspects. Something he once was unsure about may be just the thing to help the band of travelers he was taken to and stop the Orcs from uniting and taking over all humans.
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This story is primarily focused on D'Avery with some minor jumps between a human in the normal realm and another human in an almost sci-fi realm. There is a major genre mash-up within these pages. Don't be surprised by giant Mechs, drones, battled gnarled vets, magic, and a dash of portals thrown into the mix!
While from that description the book seems like it would be all over the place the author did a great job of pulling it off. This is done in a way that doesn't seem like the author got bored with his own story part of the way through and decided to go another direction before randomly finding a way to tie them together. Instead, everything flows and the reader is able to follow along without our heads spinning.
The characters themselves are ever evolving, especially our main character D'Avery. I am curious to see what will happen as the story continues. While the main item was solved for now in this book of a daring rescue, if it was possible, their missions are far from over.
This book is available on Amazon for $9.49 by clicking here.
