The Mage's Limits (Fantasy): Mages of Martir Book #2

Mage's Limit is a solid continuation of Mage's Grave. It unlocks a few new settings that come up a bit abruptly, but they’re very compelling. The strongest element, for me, is the twists. Most of the time, the twists are somewhat obvious, but the outcomes are still surprising. For example, when Jakuuth decides to kill Darek because he can’t achieve limitlessness on his first try—but doesn’t—and how Durima and Gujak manage to escape the Void (The Void is such a cool concept, it would be crazy in film) A couple of frustrating points: there’s even more repetition and over-explanation of unnecessary details than in the previous book. Darek still comes across more like a teenager than a 35-year-old; if his personality is meant to stay this way, it might make more sense to actually revise his age. Another off-putting moment is right at the beginning, when Aroja wakes up checking that she wasn’t assaulted while asleep. Aside from a couple brief mentions of the prisoners of Rock Isle attempting similar acts, thie mention of it at all feels unneeded. As I said in my review of Mage's Grave, this book is an easier read toward veteran fantasy readers who don’t mind extra exposition—or new readers with an optimistic imagination. Also revising the book as a whole, I think the range of readers would increase. I will definitely continue the series, and I hope to have a review ready for book three, The Mage’s Sea, in the next couple of months.

really enjoyed this , good story well written obviously like the majority of Google e books spelling and grammar errors but didn't ruin my enjoyment
