Despite his resolve not to trust anyone again, he canโ€™t abandon the young woman he finds alone on the road to London. In the brief hours they spend together, the enigmatic Diana touches his heart in a way he canโ€™t explain. Even after bringing her to the Everton Domestic Society for safekeeping, he canโ€™t get her out of his thoughts. And when he next encounters her, working as assistant to a renowned scientist, he becomes even more intriguedโ€ฆโฃ โฃ The Societyโ€™s kindness is especially welcome after everything Diana endured in a French prison, but she fears for the safety of those who get close to her. French spies are on her trail, convinced that her scientific knowledge can help them win the war. As peril draws them irrevocably together, Diana and Jacques succumb to mutual desire. But love may be the most dangerous pursuit of all, when a lady guards her heart even more carefully than she guards her life . . .โฃ โฃ โฃ ๐”ธ๐•ฃ๐•– ๐•ช๐• ๐•ฆ ๐•๐• ๐• ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ๐•˜ ๐•—๐• ๐•ฃ๐•จ๐•’๐•ฃ๐•• ๐•ฅ๐•  ๐•’๐•Ÿ๐•ช ๐•ฃ๐•–๐•๐•–๐•’๐•ค๐•–๐•ค ๐•ฅ๐•™๐•š๐•ค ๐•จ๐•–๐•–๐•œ?โฃ โฃ โฃ โฃ #ALadysPast #EvertonDomesticSociety ASFenichel #historicalromance #RegencyRomance #tlcbooktours #bookwineandmetime #bionicbookbabes #booksontour #bookpromo #newrelease #newbook #bookstagram #bookbirthday #coverlove

I am such a sucker for these two plotlines in fantasy. I enjoyed Nixโ€™s spin on this concept where Mages could summon angels through the use of handmade icons or tokens in order to gain access to the magic that they possess. However, summoning angels comes at the cost of oneโ€™s life force, so the Mages prematurely age. Well, that is usually the case unless your Liliath, who has discovered a way to avoid paying this cost making her a dangerous threat.โฃ โฃ This is definitely a slow-burn fantasy since the majority of the story really focuses on both the world building as well as the characters. I found the world building to be fantastic with the angels, magic, sprawling cities, and political turmoil. I thought that Liliath was an incredible antagonist and probably one of my favorites. However, the other characters of the story felt like they lacked depth in comparison. I usually enjoy slow burns, but I had a hard time really getting inspired by this story since it takes well over 400 pages to finally get to the adventure side of things.โฃ โฃ Overall, I think the Angel Mage has fantastic world building and magic, and it is definitely worth a read.โฃ โฃ Rating: 3/5 โญ๏ธโ€™s โฃ โฃ โฃ ๐€๐ฏ๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐๐จ๐ฐ!โฃ โฃ โฃ #AngelMage #GarthNix #youngadult #yafantasy #youngadultbooks #ireadya #yabookstagram #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookwineandmetime #bionicbookbabes #readandreview #katherinetegenbooks #readingchemistreviews
