Jess: Once again, I've fallen in love with an Australian author. Maybe its something in the water... Reading the back cover of this book, it sounds a little generic. Destined boy befriends prince, aforementioned destiny ensues. Incredibly, Karen Miller sets herself miles apart from the rest by making this one absolutely amazing, character-driven fantasy. Although the fantasy aspect isn't anything to scoff at, Miller's complex leads and their relationships absolutely make this book. The characters are real. The issues that come up are some of the most original I have seen, and I enjoyed their interactions from start to finish. Miller impeccably intertwines fantasy elements with a breakthrough story about a young man, a prince, and their friends. "The Innocent Mage" is not only a book that every fantasy reader will enjoy, but will also cherish for years to come. NEWS: Currently this book is only available in Australia. The sequel, "Innocence Lost," will be released in December of 2006. |
