Scarlet Odyssey
Scarlet Odyssey | C. T. Rwizi
6 posts | 1 read | 10 to read
Magic is women's work; war is men's. But in the coming battle, none of that will matter. Men do not become mystics. They become warriors. But eighteen-year-old Salo has never been good at conforming to his tribe's expectations. For as long as he can remember, he has loved books and magic in a culture where such things are considered unmanly. Despite it being sacrilege, Salo has worked on a magical device in secret that will awaken his latent magical powers. And when his village is attacked by a cruel enchantress, Salo knows that it is time to take action. Salo's queen is surprisingly accepting of his desire to be a mystic, but she will not allow him to stay in the tribe. Instead, she sends Salo on a quest. The quest will take him thousands of miles north to the Jungle City, the political heart of the continent. There he must gather information on a growing threat to his tribe. On the way to the city, he is joined by three fellow outcasts: a shunned female warrior, a mysterious nomad, and a deadly assassin. But they're being hunted by the same enchantress who attacked Salo's village. She may hold the key to Salo's awakening--and his redemption.

#TBRPile 📚 “They say that on the day he was to become a man, he cried and wet himself in fear as soon as the uroko bull charged out of its cage in a blur of fury.”

This short story in the Black Stars series definitely gives off Star Trek: Discovery vibes. In fact, it gives off ST:TOS vibes as well. Msizi is sent on a maiden voyage to a planet deemed suitable for human existence. The mission takes an unforeseen turn when Msizi finds the planet already inhabited by humans. Best of the series so far. It is a solid 5-star rating for me.

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have been finding it ever so hard to get into books during my pregnancy. Did this happen to anyone else?

My pick for June's First Reads. Sounds pretty good!

A world where only women can do magic and the men are the warriors. But 18 year old Salo is secretly working on a device which will awaken his magical powers. When his village is attacked and he uses this device, the Queen is oddly accecpting of his powers and sends him on a quest to gather information on a growing threat.

Looking forward to reading this one.

Patchshank I got the same one. I couldn't decide between that one and the murder mystery one. I can't remember what it's called. But I usually like fantasy more than murder mysteries. 4y
InBooksILive @Patchshank oh yeah that one sounded really good too! It was between that one and this one for me as well lol hopefully we made the right choice! 4y
