Limits Force Creativity

The Tethered Mage (Swords and Fire, #1)The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved it for its theme of people of different backgrounds forced into partnership in order to make life better. It's a good theme for now and the times to come. There's character development instead of cookie-cutter role playing. Even though I received an e-galley, I bought and read the paperback. It was worth the cost. I'll read the sequels.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An amazing job. I did not have high expectations, but I was blown away by this deeply felt, perfectly imagined, nuanced and ultimately uplifting novel. And he gets the magic right.
