Harbinger of Books

Jack is a Lord who likes to live life on the edge and one day in a daring hunt he almost kills himself. Luckily Abby who is a wizard is available to help him. However Abby has a price she has been in love with Jack since they were children and even though they have never spoken she says she will heal him if she can become his wife. Jack also has some magical powers but his father say these powers when he was a boy and then he sent Jack to a special school to stop him from recognizing his true gifts. Can Jack put a way years of conditioning and learn to love Abby?

The story was sweet, both Jack and Abby are likable and intelligent characters. The plot moves along swiftly and the writing is good.

What was a problem for me was even though everyone supposedly hated magic it was certainly everywhere and solved all the problems. Not to mention that once one accepted magic they became like a master no training needed just look within yourself and it is done. I also expected some tension between Abby and Jack but nope they just apologized to each other and moved past it. I think that felt off to me perhaps because the issues got resolved so quickly it felt a bit false.
