WICKED APPRENTICE
by Madeline Iva
Wicked apprentice is the first book in the Wicked Magic series it is a well written story about the love between an apprentice Zephyr and a half elf named Theo. It is full of magical twist and turns that cause you to never quite know where the next chapter will lead. The fun and different characters and descriptions add to the experience of the world they live in. There are times when reading this book as you follow the ups and downs of the relationship between Ze ...more

I am a great fan of paranormal stories and I really enjoyed Wicked Apprentice. Once I got started, it was a hard job to put it down. It's a well written, magical storyline that incorporates a sorceress, an apprentice and an elf, well half elf anyway! There were times in the book where I got confused and had to have a quick reread, but other than that I can't think of anything else that disappointed me.

I found this to be an interesting, engaging and enjoyable story, but one I needed to pay attention to!
It's told from two points of view, that of the Apprentice and the elf Theo, whose relationship develops through a series of sometimes uncomfortable see-saws as the balance of power between them changes.
The world-building is done with some thought and a light touch. Madeline has clearly given thought to the realities of life in a world which seems to be broadly based on Tudor Europe, but with m ...more

Wicked Apprentice by Madeline Iva is Book 1 of the Wicked Magic Series.
An ARC was generously provided in exchange for an honest review of which I am reviewing both honestly and voluntarily.
What an interesting idea for a new book and series. I absolutely loved the book description and had to read this story, what with me being such a huge fan of PNRs and all. Ms. Iva did a bang up job with her awesome characters and very detailed world development, however in the execution there were some issues ...more

Wicked Apprentice is the first book in the Wicked Magic Series.
Zephyr is an apprentice who later becomes a sorceress.
Theo is half elf and half human with both halves at battle with each other his whole life.
This book is well written. Most of the book is so descriptive of their world I kinda got bogged down a bit. Not that it made the book bad it just was very descriptive of the world they were living in. Hope this comes in to play in the rest of the series.

This was a great story to read with the current state of our country--the rich fantasy world was very diverting to sink into, and the world-building was interesting (the spells and those birds!). Also, all elves should be so smoldering. :)
I got this book for free and was asked to write an honest review on it. Honestly, I can't see anyone being able to put it down after they start reading it! It it well written, well edited, and keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end!

I just finished reading Madeline Iva’s Wicked Apprentice and quite enjoyed the back and forth between the apprentice sorceress and half-elf wizard. What an amazing imagination. Very skillful world-building as well. Makes me want to draw maps to figure out the green door portal.
This was quite a strange read for me. It started off with a prologue that enticed. However as I continued reading the first few chapters, it became clearer as identified that Prin was that mysterious woman who'd fell through the door, and was now learning magic, but had a few restrictions placed on her by her teacher i payment..namely her real name and tears.
When she is tasked to go find something behind all her mistress's door she came back with a half elf, who quickly realised that he was tra ...more

Hulgetta gives her apprentice the task of kidnapping a half elf for what dubious reason Zephyr not sure but the attraction she feels for this elf keeps on growing & hes using it f

This book covered every toxic abuse relationship behavior. I didn't like it when I started reading it for this reason, but kept expecting the characters to learn something and improve or grow. Instead, they got steadily worse in abusiveness to each other. It was like watching a car wreck and made me feel gross.

I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I have mixed feelings about the book. The premise sounds great. The writing is good. The author does a great job of world building. I really enjoyed parts in the middle when Theo and Zephyr are actually working together and involved as a couple. I also enjoyed a large part of the ending even though it had some confusing and unexplained happenings.

This sounded like such a good premise and it started out well. Prin is an archeologist from Ohio. While on a trip she falls into another world and becomes an apprentice to a sorceress.
As I said the book starts out well and I enjoyed the beginning but about half-way in it became convoluted. I'm not sure if the author wanted this to have more erotica or more fantasy but it seemed like the story line became lost. I think it would actually benefit by a longer story to go into more detail and untangl ...more

This was a difficult book for me to get into. I enjoyed the magic and spells and love the genre but this book was slow paced for me and often left me confused and bored. I couldn't really connect with either of the main characters. Despite all this I pushed through the book and I did like where it eventually led but was just glad to be done with the book.
