Well of Magic: An Urban Fantasy by BR KingsolverMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Invasion by The Knights of Magica
I’d probably give this 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This book is from one of my favourite authors. I always love the stuff BR Kingsolver writes, but I was a little uncertain in parts of this book. One of my uncertainties arises from Erin meeting Oriel, a half fae/half witch who is her friend Lizzy’s cousin. He is an unseelie fae and therefore a little darker than Lizzy. He’s also got horns and bits of fur in odd places. He’s very good at glamour though, as well as being a Smith, or a fae metal worker, which is why Erin initially wanted to meet him. Their relationship strikes me as odd, in that Erin just jumps straight into it, with hardly any hesitation, despite being concerned about her instant intense attraction to him. However, as the book progresses I got over those feelings.
The book, away from the romance part, is as anticipated, it’s usual fantastic self. It seems an enemy of the Illuminati has come to Westport and they want to eliminate all the supernatural beings they can find, and they don’t care who gets caught in the cross fire. They are a religious order and are mostly zealots.
Erin believes they are trying to fill the vacuum left by the, now mostly destroyed, Illuminati and she ends up being roped in to pass on her conclusions and any information she has buried in her brain from her years as an Illuminati Hunter, to the Supernatural Council.
A lot happens in this book, with fighting off the Knights of Magica, as well as the romance part, so there is no surprised that this book has a cliff hanger. At the end of the book it states the next book will be out in Winter 2020. Of course this felt a very long time to wait, so I checked with the author and they said it would probably be March at the earliest for release, which is a lot sooner than my panicked brain had it, with was next winter, rather than the one we are currently in. I do love it when an author is accessible for this sort of thing.
As always, I recommend the book, despite my misgivings early on with the romance part of the story. I got over it quickly, so I’m sure you will too!
