I've been listening to a new book. Or at least trying to. I feel like not much has happened in the book and I'm already almost halfway through. We have a young woman who was captured to be a slave. She did everything to pay for her freedom, only to find out that her master had no intention of letting her go. He would rather kill her than let her go. So in order to save herself, she ends up killing her master. I don't remember how she did it but with her injuries, she runs off to another place. Nearly dying in the process. Her goal is to join The Order which I think is an organization of magic wielders. The only problem is that she is late and a little too old to go through classes. But once she is healed, she is taken to her mentor. A person named Max that is a retired military man. He is against teaching her because he doesn't want anything to do with The Order, but our main female character is left with him against his wishes. At first Max sees our main character as nothing but a thorn in his side. Forcing her to teach herself until they finally have a heart to heart. Then he slowly starts to teach her how to control her magic. At one point they even go to the capital and witness a horrible scene of a man getting killed because he was branded a traitor. Shortly after that they go into battle and end up saving multiple people that survived their lord blowing up the city. Then the student and teacher have a heart to heart and fall into a mundane routine. I stopped reading when it was time for our lead female character to take her evaluation of her magic. Again, I know a lot happened and I pretty much glossed over everything. Also it feels like not a whole lot happened. It's one of those books that if you cut out half of the details, you wouldn't miss it.
So until next time....
