Critics Review

The Tethered Mage is a riveting read, with delicious intrigue, captivating characters, and a brilliant magic system. I loved it from start to finish!

Melissa Caruso has taken things to an ENTIRELY new level of awesome with The Defiant Heir … I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book

The Tethered Mage is an excellent debut novel that set a high bar for its follow up, but The Defiant Heir takes the series to the next level in every way … I absolutely LOVED The Defiant Heir. It’s extraordinarily fun with wonderful characters and intriguing mysteries that kept me eagerly anticipating what would happen next … I can hardly contain my excitement for the third installment

A dashing, compelling and exciting story, blending magic, assassination, conspiracy and diplomacy … I’ll make no bones about it, I loved this book

Centered around a fierce and heroic set of characters, with intricate world-building and a quick pace, Caruso has really hit her fantasy stride with The Defiant Heir
