This is a great book on tape that is not only entertaining, but also a well-done audiotape. The voice is pleasant to the ears, well-defined and enjoyable. This is a sequel to the 'Innocent Mages' series, which already has two books in it. I don’t know anything about them, except that the reviews are good.
Barl is a special mage whose extraordinary powers are ready to burst out, yet no one pays attention to her because she is of lesser birth. She finds that her work as a clockmaker is a waste of her superior powers and insists on proving the university of mages wrong. Morgan Danfey, the youngest mage ever appointed to sit on the Council of the first blood, feels that a horrific danger will assault Dorana, his homeland. These warnings are strong enough to make him study the forbidden magic, even against his father and the council’s will. When Morgan and Barl meet, each recognizes many things in common with the other. Both their magical skill and their belief that the rules are too restrictive unite them. Then there is the forbidden attraction they have for each other.
The story portrays lovable characters and an easy to follow story. The authors did a good job developing the characters in this book to make them the deep and strong characters used in the rest of this series. The plot isn’t the strongest I have seen. But it is just enough to whet your appetite for the other books in the series. It is good for late teen and adults alike.
