Fallen by Benedict Jacka
Jan. 22nd, 2020 11:38 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Everything is on the line for probability mage Alex Verus …
Once Alex was a diviner trying to live under the radar. Now he’s a member of the Light Council who’s found success, friends … and love. But it’s come with a price - the Council is investigating him, and if they found out the truth, he’ll lose it all.
Meanwhile, Alex’s old master, Richard Drakh, is waging a war against the Light mages. To protect those he cared for, Alex will have to become something different. Something darker …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 10th in Benedict Jacka’s ALEX VERUS urban fantasy series overcomes a clunky and repetitive first half to really take off once Verus makes a momentous decision that provides a real game changer and I’m looking forward to seeing how it plays out in the last 2 books. The action scenes are fast-paced and exciting, I enjoyed an old character’s return, mourned another’s inevitable departure and still care what happens to Verus and his friends.
