So let me start by saying that me being the scatterbrained book blogger that I am, was a bit behind on my review books when I picked up Spellslinger. Seeing the rather large size – just over 400 pages – I was a bit concerned I wasn’t going to finish it in time to post a review on pub day. After just two chapters I was completely hooked and I missed meals and was almost late to work on more than one occasion last week as I was so busy reading Spellslinger. I absolutely loved this book.
This book is fantastically written, it’s clever and witty – the plot keeps you wanting more and the characters are so great. I immediately loved Kellen. He’s so well written and you immediately become attached, wanting him to succeed. Besides, who doesn’t love an underdog? Ferius Parfax by far the most mysterious and intriguing character in the book, was another one of my favourites.
This book really does have it all. Plenty of magic and mystery, as well as some evil baddies, loads of magical duels and a fair bit of humour thrown in as well. Spellslinger is a unique YA book, there’s a complex layer of magic, mystery and mythology all wrapped up in this fantastic story. I also must say how much I love that cover, it’s absolutely stunning. The world building in this book is superb, and I really felt sucked into the story. My only complaint is that now I have to wait so long to find out what happens to Kellen next. Spellslinger is one fantastic book, and is already one of the front runners for my favourite book of 2017.
