In the Raverran Empire, magic is scarce, and those born with power are strictly controlled - taken as children and conscripted into the Falcon Army.
Zaira has lived her life on the streets to avoid this fate, hiding her mage-mark and thieving to survive. But hers is a rare and dangerous magic, one that threatens the entire empire.
Lady Amalia Cornaro was never meant to be a Falconer. Heiress and scholar, she was born into a treacherous world of political machinations.
But fate has bound the heir and the mage. And as war looms on the horizon, a single spark could turn their city into a pyre.
The Tethered Mage is the first novel in a spellbinding new fantasy series.

Amalia is a wonderful main character. what she may lack in physical prowess/magic ability, she more than makes up for in smarts, which is refreshing (as I also love badass MC's that'll slit your throat, and have read many of those, so this came up as something a little bit 'different' for me in that regard, and I loved it). Though, one thing I have to say is, there were a few times I wanted Amalia to get angry. maybe once or twice at Zaira.
Which brings me to secondary characters, whom I also enjoyed. I loved Zaira's personality and how she never backed down and said what she meant. I like how she didnt change her views, even at the end, for anyone. And, may I say, bi-representation, whoop! Marcello, La Contessa, Estreya. All very good characters. (forgive any misspellings)
I am definitely going to be picking up the 2nd one and watching for the 3rd one.
Fantastic, great narrator.

What did you like about this audiobook?
So for the past week, every chance I got I could not put it away.I picked this book up because of friends had recommended it. What I found was a strong main character, a background of intrigue that was more than intriguing, and action that left me wanting more. It was like reading a fantasy version of the Georgian era..
How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?
Zaira cause she was anything but stereotypical. Sassy, and independent she was anything but a typical mage idea.Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?
I really appreciated the depth and cadence of her different voices. Her range made it easy to imagine almost any character she preformed and gave life to each of themWhat did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?
Absolutely yes.Couldn't put it away
