Halfway Through!!

Okay, so, I’m about halfway through with The Magician of Tiger Castle and wanted to share my thoughts so far…and, I’m not quite sure what to think. 😂 I can say it’s not my favorite, but it’s also keeping my attention enough that it won’t go in my DNF (did not finish) pile.

When I read the synopsis, I think I was expecting there to be a little bit more of a love story. So far, though, this has not been the case. Yes, the love between the princess and the scribe is talked about at the beginning but then events happen, which I will not be discussing here to avoid spoilers, that turn the story away from that.

Now, the events that do happen are interesting and do make me want to turn the page to find out what happens. There is some humor, tense moments where you wonder if the characters will make it, and maybe there will still be a happily ever after for the princess and the scribe in the end. I like the characters of the magician and the scribe actually more than the princess. And the character of the dungeon guard has been a nice surprise.

A warning to parents or those who are looking for a clean read, this book does have a fair bit of innuendo and crassness in it that I was not expecting. More on that in my final review. For now, back to the pages.
