The Apprentice Mistress

Schooled in Magic, Book 26

By: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld

The war is over, but a new world is fighting to be born.

The Allied Lands exist in name only, with powerful kings throwing off the shackles of the alliance, powerful magicians scheming to go their own way, and revolutionaries fighting for freedom, democracy, and a chance to stride into a brave new world.

On a peace mission, desperately trying to hammer out a settlement that will keep the radicals and reactionaries from starting yet another civil war, Emily is attacked by Marah, a young woman rescued by her enigmatic master and turned into a living weapon to start the chaos. Seeing something of herself in the girl, Emily takes her as an apprentice both to give her a better chance at life and to use her to track down her master, who appears to have plans of his own...

I loved the whole book series.

Is that the last one is not out yet when I read a book series, I love it to be all finished by time.I read it

inwardly. thesaurus.com:

inwardly:
internally, within, at heart, deep down, privately, secretly, mentally.

thesaurus is your friend Christopher Nuttall and his editors!!

it's slowly but surely getting better since book 1 where it was practically every other sentence but good GOD I'm sick of this word!

also not fond of "crossing her arms under her breasts" this is the only time I've used this combo without it being a sexually explicit book (which I don't consider this series) - what's wrong with the standard "she crossed her arms over her chest??"

The great story

Loves it, but I’ve enjoyed this series since the 1st book. I hope more is to come.

The boring drone of classist warfare

This is the umpteenth book that I centered around class and social warfare. I'm starting to get bored of the samey nature of the topic. The only bright and interesting spot in this book is the relationship between Emily and Mara. If the next book is purely about the drive for freedom and the downfall of the aristocracy, I am going to abandon this series.

love the world, hate the characters

why can none of the characters in this book grow? I keep hoping this series will get better but so far, no luck.
