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!

The Outstretched Shadow by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory



Kellen is a teen with teen age angst.   His father is the head of the mages in his perfect town.   The town is perfect because that  is what the council of mages want.  Kellen is a reluctant student and discovers an alternative forbidden magic.  He butts heads with his daddy and ends up banned from the city.   That is the basis of the story.

Kellen meets a sister he didn’t know he had and she teaches him how to use their magic.  The story is of discovery and coming of age.  Kellen surprises his sister with his adaptability.  Kellen is befriended by a sarcastic Unicorn.

The three end up with Elves and Kellen is tasked with a quest to save the Elven community.

Vestikia shows things aren’t always as the seem and the value of acceptance and tolerance.

I enjoyed the book.
