The Sorcery Code by Dima Zales~A Thomoson Review (Kindle Edition)

 

I received a free copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.      
I love reading for the main purpose that it can take you so many places and you can learn so many things.  As a child I never really appreciated it.  I actually hated it and dreaded it every time I was asked to do it.  As an adult I really enjoy it and reading different genres.  So when I saw the opportunity to read The Sorcery Code, I thought this would be something that may be fun.  It isn’t the usual type of book that I would read, and it was an E-book with Kindle, which I am slowly learning to use and LOVE!
     The book is written in a magical physical realm where sorcerers, soldiers and commoners all live together.  There are ranks through out the land and they don't mingle well.  There are 4 main characters:  Blaise, Gala, Augusta and Baron.  Each chapter takes on a different main character as the main idea of that chapter, rotating thru each of the main characters.  The chapter name is person’s name so you know who the topic of the chapter is. 
Meet the characters:
      Blaise is a very powerful sorcerer outcast who was shunned when he didn’t agree with the counsel.  He is trying to find a way to make magic accessible to everyone in the land, including the peasants.  In creating an object to make this feasible, he creates Gala.   
Gala.  She is a women figure (that Blaise created for his task of making magic accessible to everyone)  he finds so beautiful he names her after his mom Galena (Gala for short).
   Augusta was the Fiancée of Blaise but they called it off a few years ago.  She is a sorceress who is now involved with Barson.   
  Barson, other than Augusta’s lover is a high ranking military leader.  He doesn’t have any magical powers, however he is an amazing fighter. 
This book is easy to read but a bit hard to follow.  With the chapters jumping between characters I felt that I didn’t get enough out of each chapter.  At one point I felt as if I was reading the second book and missed the first, event though I felt this book does introduce you to the characters as a first book would.  It is filled with magic and action.  This book wasn’t what I would typically jump to read.  I thought it was a good book, but not a great book.  Listed as a Fantasy book of Magic, Romance, Danger and Intrigue I would have to say for me it fell short on intrigue park. I would recommend it to someone who likes this genre, however not as an introduction to the genre.
