Mage’s Apprentice
I started this book because it sounded interesting and I have to admit, it was very interesting. Aspen is one unusual girl; she is a normal human girl who lives in New York where the normal people have no idea that there are supernatural beings are all around. These beings live in boroughs which are governed by a Council of Mages. After losing her parents at a young age due to a horrible act of murder, she is taken care by her friend a half-breed giant, Brune. She loves him dearly like a brother and he takes care of her like a father. What he doesn’t know is that Aspen has grown up with a huge chip on her shoulder and wants revenge over whoever killed her parents. She knows that Brune is terrible at business, and they are always needing money, so she has become a master thief. Brune is not aware about what she is doing.
When a job goes bad, Aspen feels like she has to get the money from somewhere so she goes out into the night to do some petty theft. That is when her entire world changes. Lucien, a Mage, is the one she goes after and he counters her. But he decides that she is what will help him get out of the jam that he is in. She is going to be his apprentice. I don’t want to say much more because it will ruin the story.
Aspen encounters a lot of others like Brune, Tana, Isak and Nina who are all are good for her soul. But she also meets up with characters like Hugo, Xavier and others on the Mage Council do not have her best interests at heart. She has a love/hate relationship with Lucien. It is fast paced story with mystery, magic, and friendship/loyalty make it a worthwhile read.
Mage’s Trial
This book moves even faster. Aspen has become a Mage even though she is a Null (this is a person who cannot do magic) but finds herself able to do magic. As a test to become an apprentice, she was tied to Isak, Xavier’s apprentice, on their quest to win who will be the next Mage. But Xavier has them competing to the death instead of just to win. But instead, they start to see that there is a real evil trying to get in and they start to work together. That evil is Maladias and will destroy New York and everyone in it.
During this entire story, there is a lot of death by the major evil that is trying to destroy the world. Isak is in hiding through a good part of the book due to the death of his Master, Xavier. Aspen is not happy with Lucien and is forced to work with him.
The ending is one of those where there are some good things that happened but there is also a very bad thing. I am really looking forward to book 3 due to the prophecies and hints throughout this book to see who ends up on the side of good.
Mage’s End
This is the book that ties up all of the lose ends. There is a lot of fighting throughout this entire book. Aspen, Isak, Lucien, Tana, Nina and others are all fighting for the life of New York because Maladias has been able to return in the flesh. This moves very fast as there is a lot of intrigue and fighting among the Boroughs and the Supernatural Beings.
Aspen comes into her own and is told by many that she is the one who will have to kill Maladias. Isak and her become very close and have each other’s back. Nina and Lucien overcome their differences. The final battle is very hard to read, there is so much going on that you do not see coming. Even though it is only being fought by Lucien, Aspen, Isak and Maladias, there are some surprises.
I totally enjoyed this book and it was nice to have the ending tie up all of the loose ends.
