REQUIEM is the first book in the Tales of the Five Realms series and we are immediately introduced to a world where everything is not equal - especially where magic is concerned. Hagar lives in Sera, where only the Elders have magic and everyone else is encouraged to leave. When she does something that could result in prison, the Elders give her the option to go to Magic School in another realm - but only if she spies for them. Of course, she agrees. Not only does it keep her out of prison but it also gives her the chance to control her crazy magic.

This book is full of intricate twists and turns that will keep you guessing as you read it. The author also cleverly gives you a circumstance but downplays it so you forget it, only for its relevance to become plainly obvious at a later date.

The world-building was great but I was hoping for more about the Five Realms themselves. I was left with questions over just who people were and why they invaded other Realms, plus others. I'm sure it will become clear as the story arc continues.

Hagar is a bit of a character - all over the place with her emotions, magic, and love of learning. Then again, she is only supposed to be in her early twenties and I don't know of anyone who had it together at that point!

Requiem was a great start to a new series that I have no hesitation in recommending and will be looking forward to continuing.
