"Red Queen (the first book of the series) had the perfect balance of a dystopian setting with superhuman characters, without seeming outlandish. Mare, a young woman trying to help her family survive, is captivating. She’s strong willed and has a sharp tongue, showcasing her wit. She’s a fun character to read because she’s someone that acts in the moment, and often times finds herself in trouble for it. Her actions and reactions keeps the reader engaged.

You meet two princes, half-brothers, who are very different from each other. They are both likable in their own ways. Mare finds herself being tugged back and forth between the two, which is obviously causing some down low drama."

Prince. Prodigy. Mage. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Falling Kingdoms, and Tamora Pierce.

This prequel novella is set before the events of The Black Mage series. Novella follows Prince Darren as a child through adolescence and his first run-in with Ryiah at the Academy of Magic. Readers discover the dark backstory between the two princes and their father, as well as the ensuing events that shaped Darren into the Academy’s most illustrious mage.

I found this just in time I was about to start First year. I found the king's treatment of his boys so awful I struggled with the violence of it (think it's the mum in me lol). I'm excited to see where this story goes as a prequel it was pretty good. Think I'm going to like this series.
