Kait Galwiegh is now a fugitive, seeking the Mirror of Souls in order to resurrect her lost family. But to get it she must battle with Crispin Abir, who believes the artefact will make him god. Both are terribly wrong; using the artefact will in fact unleash the souls of the long dead sorcerers who once before conquered the world. Held captive within the mirror, the magicians wait for freedom and the opportunity for vengeance. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Women are not things. Blindly possessive obsessive objectification of women isn't romantic. Therefore, the following scenes have caused me to be unable to read any more of your work.
"Hero," meeting Our Heroine for the first time: Oh she smells so good my soul calls out I LURVE her forevah I wonder what her name is?
Heroine: You're sexy and appealing, but your family killed all my family and I have to go find a Magical Artifact to bring them back, kthnxbai.
Heroine rents ship, sails off to find artifact.
"Hero": I'm totally gonna follow her, take the Magical Artifact for myself, get rich and famous off it, marry her and live happily ever after.
"Hero" rents ship, follows her.
Three months of sailing follow, in which Heroine tries to hide from "Hero", learns magic, saves the ship at least once and commits to saving the world. Hero is seasick and pends time elaborating on his Perfect Future with Magical Artifact and Heroine who has met him for half an hour one time.
Me: Okay, he's creepy. I assume he's a villain?
Heroine: I'm stranded on the island and my only way to get me and my friends back is to get a ride on "Hero"'s ship. Unfortunately, "Hero" wants to kill my friends, and I want to bring them with. Well, I'm a trained negotiator, so let's negotiate.
Negotiator person: So you claim you should get to keep the Magical Artifact that might save your family because you sailed all this way and suffered (almost died multiple times) to get it, right?
Heroine: Right.
Negotiator person: Ha ha, gotcha! By that logic, "Hero" sailed all this way and suffered (sea-sickness) to get you. So you can only keep the artifact if "Hero" gets to keep you.
Heroine: Okay, that seems fair.
Me: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT????
Negotiator: The two of you have to share a cabin all the way back home. That's three months, folks.
Author: Clearly thinks this is a romance-novel-worthy setup for sexytiems and drama.
Me: Drops book in disgust. ( )
