Magical

The magic system in this world is addictive. Lola is strong and bull headed but after everything she’s been through I get it. Kingsley is strong and stubborn. They are made for each other. The story line is strong and easy to follow. I loved the book and look forward to the next one.

So close...

First of all, I am SO grateful to have received an ALC for this book! Thank you!

Now, the stories of these Mōsian women and the world Ligia Cushman is creating is so beautiful and intriguing! I keep coming back to the books for that reason... but something isn't hitting the mark. There are too many time jumps, contradictions, and inconsistencies that do not allow readers/listeners to engage with the story the way it truly deserves. I would have loved to see this be a longer book that allowed for storylines and relationships to be properly explored, and more refined editing that insured consistency and elimiated repeated scenes.

As for the narration, it is clear Ruthie Bowles enjoys the story and is passionate about sharing it. I love how that comes through in her voice. That said, I'd like to hear a little more differentiation between the voices, specifically the male characters.

I remain a fan of the series, and will definitely be back for the next book, but I do hope to see some structural changes moving forward.

I was Very Happy to receive This ALC For my honest review

I receive this as and advance listener for my honest review .

Magick Rising by Ligia N. Cushman

Magick Rising had the potential to be a captivating fantasy read, offering an intriguing premise that could have drawn readers into a world of magic and mystery. The foundation of the story was promising, and I appreciated the effort put into crafting a unique narrative.

However, this book missed the mark for me. One of the biggest challenges was the repetition of information, sometimes within the same chapter, which disrupted the flow of the story. Additionally, there were multiple contradictions that made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the plot. A key example is the description of the main character, Lola, which changed between the first and second introductions, creating confusion. Some plot points also lacked clarity—such as Lola somehow knowing she had lost her memory for exactly three years—leaving too many unanswered questions. These inconsistencies made it hard to connect with the characters and the world they inhabited.

The friendship between Lola and Thad played a significant role in the story, but I felt it could have been explored in greater detail to enhance the emotional depth of their bond. Additionally, while there were a few spicy scenes, the wording at times felt unrealistic, making it difficult to fully engage with those moments. The timeline of the story was another point of confusion—it seemed to span only a few days, yet the author may have intended for it to cover a longer period. Unfortunately, that didn't come across clearly to me.

That said, I recognize the passion and creativity that went into writing this book. The concept had great potential, and with further refinement, it could become a compelling fantasy story. I appreciate the author's imagination and dedication, and I look forward to seeing how her storytelling evolves in future works. Overall, I give this book two stars, as it ultimately missed the mark for me.
