In Kate Elliott's Servant Mage, a lowly fire mage finds herself entangled in an empire-spanning conspiracy on her way to discovering her true power.
They choose their laws to secure their power.
Fellion is a Lamplighter, able to provide illumination through magic. A group of rebel Monarchists free her from indentured servitude and take her on a journey to rescue trapped compatriots from an underground complex of mines.
Along the way they get caught up in a conspiracy to kill the latest royal child and wipe out the Monarchist movement for good.
But Fellion has more than just her Lamplighting skills up her sleeve…

I‘m a long time fan of Elliott & I was really excited about this novella. Unfortunately, it didn‘t quite work for me. There‘s a lot of worldbuilding—so much, in fact, I think this story would have worked better as a full length novel. Elliott has created a fascinating world, one I would read more about, if she really had time to explore it. Also, I didn‘t love the main character—the secondary characters were much more interesting. Hoped for more.

This is a great read if you're looking for a very quick fantasy read and don't want the long slog of world building that a lot of fantasy books have. It puts you into the action right from the start.

The story is about the oppression of those with demon wraiths that provide them with magical abilities. Whilst I found the premise interesting I must admit I wanted more world building and I wanted more back story. ⬇

LazyOwl I am an avid fantasy reader and have therefore consumed a lot of the genre. This was the quickest fantasy story that I've read (that I can remember) and unfortunately it felt lacking.

I think this would be a great book for someone who wants to dip their toe into the fantasy genre for the first time.

Expected publication is January 2022.
