Review: Magic of the Gargoyles

Magic of the Gargoyles by Rebecca Chastain
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lovely story of an unlikely hero

This book was short and sweet. It was beautifully written and captured my heart. I fell in love with the gargoyles in all their crystalline weirdness and beauty.

The unlikely hero of the story is Mika a quarry worker who longs to work for herself as a quartz specialist. Her magic is medium level and as such is largely self taught but her specialism has given her strength in one area that few can compete with. It is also this magic that lures a baby gargoyle to her side begging for help because her magic felt so familiar. The baby gargoyle wanted her to help rescue her brother and the mid level elemental couldn’t say no.

This story is all about Mika’s inability to be selfish despite being scared for her life, despite risking her life’s savings and her career, she couldn’t say no to helping others. Mika is an unlikely and underpowered hero whose determination and compassion drive her to unforeseen heights.

I really can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
