Oct
ten years since the battlemage war, where thousands died as mages sundered the
earth and split the sky.
Habreel believes eradicating magic is the only way to ensure a lasting peace.
He will do anything to achieve his goal, even if it means murdering every child
born with the ability.
As deaths involving magic increase and the seat of magical learning – the Red
Tower – falls under suspicion, two students and one lawbringer must do
everything they can to combat Habreel and his followers, before magic
disappears from the world for good.

My Review:
been reading a lot of fantasy lately. But when I read the book description of ‘Mageborn’,
I found myself being excited to read this one. And when I saw that cover, I got
even more excited. That cover is just so damn pretty!
moment I started reading ‘Mageborn’ I found myself being intrigued by this
read. The setting of the world was really interesting and I loved getting to
know it bit by bit. It still took me a little while to really get into this
story, but this didn’t bother me at all. The whole setting around the ‘Red Tower’
was really interesting and it made me want to keep on reading.
characters Stephen Aryan wrote were also really interesting to read about. But
there were a lot of them, and especially in the beginning I had some trouble
keeping everyone apart. I would have liked the opportunity to get to know some
of the characters a little more too. For example Wren. I loved that character
and found myself looking forward to reading Wren’s point of view above that of
other characters.
fantasy novel, Mageborn was definitely a good one. But I still found myself
being unable to be completely hooked to this read. I don’t know why exactly,
but there was just something I missed.
Mageborn was an interesting and fun read. And I’d definitely like to read more
in this series!

Ooh this does look interesting, and I agree it's a pretty cover! Having too many characters introduced at once can be confusing though, especially in fantasy. Glad you still enjoyed it though!
It definitely was a little confusing at times. Especially since I'm just terrible with names.
I hope you'll be able to check this one out sometime! 😉
