Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Last Best Day by Jeff Somers


This is a novella from the Ustari Cycle.   The story is of Lem and Mags.   Magic is produced by gas which is created by blood letting.   Most magic users bleed others to get the gas they need to make magic.  Lem and Mags do not believe in using the blood of others.  Lem is highly principled and Mags is not functioning at full throttle.

Mags is depicted as a very large character who is kept in check and watched over by Lem.   Lem is kidnapped and the story is based on how Mags wants to help.

Blood mages are pretty despicable and the author does nothing to change that impression.  The best of the bunch is pretty deplorable.

It was a good story, reasonable character development overall and deep character development of Mags.  

I enjoyed it.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
