Daughter of No Worlds

 4/20/25

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.

This book is supposed to be only 500 pages but it feels like it is so much longer. It is one of those books that gives you so much information but your brain just can't process all of it. I feel like the details in this book was more important in the writing of this book than the actual plot. It could just be me but I'm not vibing with this book as much as I thought I would. But I do plan on finishing this book since I have reached the last hundred pages. I just won't be updating anymore. This book would be recommended to someone who wants low fantasy and more war based storyline. That is what I will have to say about this book. We still have magic in another world. But it is more realistic than magical and personally if I am looking for fantasy, I want to be taken to a completely different world. This book just felt like every day life to me. The book was pretty good and there is a hint of romance. As far as I know, there is no spice unless it suddenly comes up out of no where at the end of the book. The book gets three out of five stars. I liked it but I didn't vibe with it.
