Review Detail

Ink and Ore is a debut indie novel about two friends fighting against all odds to end a war. The magic system is unique; the plot twists keep you guessing at every turn, and the anguish you feel as you read about some of these characters' circumstances is gut-wrenching. Katie and Brenna are the heroines of this story, and they are firm in their belief they can end this war if they share the truth they have uncovered. The magic system is well explained in this world. Magic has a source, and that source needs to be on the wielder's person for its work, which makes for a learning curve, as you will see in the pages of Ink and Ore. The title drew me into the book, and then the cover and, of course, the teasers. A mysterious letter, a forbidden magic, a lie that led to war, and two girls who know the truth.
