Among humans, none have power like mages. And among mages, none have will like Sal the Cacophony. Once revered, now vagrant, she walks a wasteland scarred by generations of magical warfare. The Scar, a land torn between powerful empires, is where rogue mages go to disappear, disgraced soldiers go to die and Sal went with a blade, a gun and a list of names she intended to use both on. But vengeance is a flame swift extinguished. Betrayed by those she trusted most, her magic torn from her and awaiting execution, Sal the Cacophony has one last tale to tell before they take her head. All she has left is her name, her story and the weapon she used to carved both.
The Review:
This is undoubtedly going to be one of my shorter reviews because I loved this story. The world building sucked me in and the characters beat my heart over and over again until I was a twitching, laughing and sobbing mess. Talk about a roller coaster of feelings. Sal's history broke me and her humor and bad-ass-ery healed it, kind of. I adore Cavric and Liette and Sal, and Tretta too. The creatures and the magic system and the betrayals and the violence and politics are just....*chef's kiss* Absolutely a new addition to my favorite's list.
