Alvina has longed for the fantasy worlds between pages her entire life, but when she is told she has powers and must go to a special school or have her powers bound once more she can't believe it. On the night of her 25th birthday she goes out drinking with her best friend and they meet up with two guys. One of which is her friend's boyfriend while the other is his buddy from work. Or is he. After starting her new life at the school she sees more than one familiar face, but when the man who introduced her to this magical society goes missing Alvina decides to use her powers to save him with the help of her mentor, friend, and new boyfriend. Can they save this powerful man?
I received a copy of this eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review. This book has all of my favorite components: adventure, magic, main character who loves to read, a dash of romance, and new worlds. I have no complaints about this book, although personally I don't think her boyfriend was ever right for her.
The world building is great, it is written in a way that it would seem plausible, and the characters are relatable. I enjoyed it from start to finish and would happily read the next in this series if requested.
While I know those without powers aren't really allowed in the magical world I hope that her long-time friend plays a bigger part as the books go on. I think it would be good for Alvina to still maintain that link to who she was before her powers. Her powers themselves were exciting and elemental. Not just one, either, although I'll let you find more about that within the pages.
Alvina discovers her powers, learns the basics of handling them, discovers love, and makes some friends. Along the way she loses a powerful wielder and something much more important to her. No complaints on that front, although it did hurt her it was for the better. The book ends where you can tell there will be much more to the story to come, although there are no hanging threads from this one's main purpose.
