The Artificer #3

The Mirror of Power

Rate this book
A job from an old family friend unleashes a flood of surprises. And there's a bigger problem than dark mage threats—the patriarch is sick, and only one healer can save him.

The mission? Complete the job—and track down that healer. Along the way there will be new allies, unexpected charges, and a conspiracy starring the mysterious death mage once again.

Oh, and that pesky riddle from the past? Still needs solving.

Time to buckle up. Things are about to get interesting.

Hi all, I love this series. I have now read all three. Apart from the fact that the MC drinks a lot and I mean a lot of coffee, it is a great read. I like its inventiveness and cast of characters which is still growing. If you like the russian genera, a well rounded OP MC and device building, its one for you.

Great

To my mind a good book should either feel like a letter from a friend or a story told round a campfire. The suspension of disbelief is critical. The characters should be if not old friends then acquaintances.This series of books ticks all the boxes. If you want something to recharge your batteries for the next chapter in real life then i highly recommend this book

amazing series

I love this series.
The storyline is interesting, well thought out, and NOT obvious.
There is not any “filler” chapters. Meaning, mention of persons or places that do not contribute to the story.
It was exciting to find out what would happen next. And to who. There were a lot of surprises. Some new characters were introduced and they made sense to be in the story. The other characters were developed and each had their own significant roles to play.
Well thought out. I wait with bated breath for the next in the series.

I’m hooked.

The marketing worked, I read the first novel for free, was so enamored with the story, I purchased the balance of the available books in the series. I am not disappointed, I am pleased with the continuing story.

I received a review copy of this book.
The Mirror of Power is book 3 in this series, and while it's relatively calm for this series, it's also rather important if you're following the series, because we learn all kindf of new things about the main character's powers, gain some new household members, and see his artificer skills put to the test. I liked this one, and most certainly plan to continue the series.

The mission/conflict/mystery is starting to get a little repetitive but I love how the home life is being enriched, and how the quality of life for the entire island city has become a priority for the protagonist.

Will add more after listening to it, but book 3 raises the tempo, the stakes, advances the storyline, expands the universe, and introduces quite a few new characters (human and otherwise) that seem likely to be of great importance as we go on

My reviews are my own. If you liked this book, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If not, I respect your opinion.  This is merely my opinion, so let's keep it courteous. My review is honest and voluntary.

This one was a bit boring. I still hate the naturalist character; I can't even remember her name, as I have been skipping the chapters with her. I wish the only female interaction was with the angel and the voice assistant :)  also dislike all the "getting a partner" conversations, so much unnecessary filling. If it wasn't because of that, I would have enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed the second one, which is my favorite so far. I did enjoy how it ended, and that they gave us information on the missing person. 

I will be waiting for book 4 coming up in January..... 

On to my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!
