The Black Mage: Apprentice
The Black Mage: Apprentice | Rachel E. Carter
4 posts | 17 read | 7 to read
She survived a trial year at the Academy, but that was just the easy part... Now sixteen-year-old Ryiah is an apprentice of Combat, her school's most notorious faction of magic. When she finishes she will be a mage, but in order to do so she has to survive four years with a training master she hates and her old nemesis, Priscilla. To make matters worse the unwanted attraction Ry feels for her sometimes-friend-sometimes-rival Prince Darren is at an all time high -even though he is betrothed to the very girl she can't stand. Really, the only bright spot to Ryiah's new life is the time she spends with her friends, including an older apprentice named Ian, who she finds herself thinking about quite often. Just when things start to get comfortable they take a turn for the worse. An apprentice is killed in a rebel attack and several mages end up dead. Unwittingly, the apprentices find themselves in the midst of a budding unrest between Jerar and its northern neighbor, Caltoth. For Ryiah the impending conflict means many things, but as her apprenticeship draws to a close she finds her biggest problem at home. Unfortunately for her, Darren's not going anywhere.

Apprentice: The Black Mage | Rachel E. Carter

This series reminds me of Tamora Pierce‘s Tortall universe. More romance though.

Mehso-so

Not as good as the first for me... Far too much in one book! The first book covers the first year, th8s one covers 4 but with very little insight to the second characters... I felt Ella and Alex were months into their relationship, I had to remind myself it was years! This may have been better as 2 books, I'm not sure when or if I'll pick up book 3.
