Today i'm bringing you a review of 'Mark of the Mage' by R.K Ryals. This is the first book in the Scribes of Merdesia series with there being four in total. First off I have to say it is very beautifully written. Each word paints a very vivid picture of the wonderful world of Miss Drastona (Stone) Consta-Mayria.
Born illegitimately into this world she seeks
solitude in a world of books and parchment. Very quickly we find out
that the world of Medeisia is changing around. It has other plans for
Stone with marriage seen as the only option to save her from a life
of unknown pearl. But her step-mother has other ideas by announcing
the use of magic, which is forbidden by rule of the King, resulting
the death of Stone's very much loved nurse maid. From that moment on
Stone's life is forever changed. Branded with a tattoo for the
forbidden practise of scriber, her tattoo echoes her life with her
inkwell that was her sanctuary now cracked.
Every word written flows so freely through the
book leading you to very much be taken in by the writing. The scenery
is described as the story goes, without the stopping and starting
effect that many books have.
Along the way you meet characters who you
love and hate with the flip of a coin as you feel Drastonas pain and
suffering. With Magic, dragons, tree whispers and a wolf, this book
is sure to take you in to the descriptive heart tugging world.
