The Sorcerer's Scroll
by Liam Lombard
Rating: 5 star rating.
If you love magical academy books with high stakes, clever good and evil characters, and romance, that completely flips the story. Which leaves you wondering what the truth is. You have to pick this up.
The story follows Holly, a jester's daughter whose dad signed her away to a prestigious magic school, even though she has absolutely zero magic. Faking her way through classes is stressful enough, but the tension skyrockets when she uncovers a dark cult conspiracy involving the teachers.
What completely sold me on this book was how the character attitudes totally reverse as the story develops:
Rogue starts out seeming like a great friend to Holly, and her only safe ally and protector, but as his true character and the school's dark undercurrents close in, his attitude shifts into something much more intense, evil and adversarial.
Dolian begins as the arrogant, elite rival who handles the heavy magical lifting in class and seems like the biggest threat to exposing her. But when Holly uncovers a plot showing the faculty actually wants to get rid of him, she's forced to put her trust in him, which sparks a fantastic, unexpected rivals-to-lovers dynamic.
The pacing is incredibly fast, and the way the relationships evolve keeps you guessing the entire time. It ends with a surprising ending, which leaves you wanting the story to continue. I highly recommend leaving a spot on your shelf for this one! This is a great book.
Thank you, NetGalley, Casorium Chronicles, and Liam Lombard for the eARC book review consideration. All opinions are my own.
