Challenge Corner discussion

Angelique hates her magic.

Her time in the magical academy has been a long chain of criticisms, reprimands, and punishments. Her war-like ability to control any weapon has earned her nothing but the fear and scorn of fellow students and instructors.

And now, she finds herself before the highest council just one vote away from having her magic sealed forever.

Until Enchanter Evariste appears.

The mysterious prodigy is one of the few with the authority to go against the Council. Which is exactly what he does when he takes Angelique as his apprentice. Though his lessons are challenging and eccentric he shows her more kindness than she ever hoped to receive.

Everything seems perfect.

But things are changing in the world. Dark things. Evil things.

Once upon a time is about to become very real…

Apprentice of Magic is an epic fantasy fairy tale adventure mixed with clean romance and humor.

This new series is a companion to the bestselling Timeless Fairy Tales series.

Ch 9 (25%) - (view spoiler)[ I knew what was coming for Wybert, but it was still fun to see how Angelique was going to make it happen. I think I get it now why the series is called The Fairy Tale Enchantress. I guess we will get little stories mixed in as we go along. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 15 (48%) - (view spoiler)[ And now Angelique is responsible for Sleeping Beauty's curse alteration. Clever. I do hope she learns to use her core magic soon though. It seems like it can be used for good - like protecting someone instead of killing. I can't imagine that she will be allowed to become an Enchantress without accessing it fully. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 23 (76%) - (view spoiler)[ Uh oh, Evariste is so not hiding his feelings for her. I actually think they are kind of cute together, but I'm tired of this dragging out. (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[ So NOW she gathers the courage to access her magic and let it flow - figures. I assumed she would do it to save Evariste in some form.

I liked this book but......I got a little annoyed with the format at times. It was almost like sporadically tuning into a marathon of a particular TV series - you catch the pilot, but then jump to a season 2 episode, followed by a season 4, etc. You end up with the gist and sometimes get an important turning point, but a lot is lost in the timelines that you missed.

I like Evariste, and I love how these two are orbiting each other and trying to keep their distance but we know it will be futile. I am also glad that something finally happened with the black mages. It was clear that they were going to be villains but it took forever for anything of importance to really happen. (hide spoiler)]

I think book 2 will be better, you??
