Reviews for The Magic Engineer
20 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Magic Engineer is also high up on my list of favorites in this series. It's particularly crafting-focused, as the title implies, and while occasionally my eyes glaze over at the detailed descriptions of blacksmithing, I enjoy the relatively sedate pace of the book and the main character's modest goals.
It's particularly interesting to read it back-to-back with Colors of White - both in how they match up and in how they differ. In particular the fact that CoW reveals that the true enemy is not who the "good guys" think it is is not all that well-supported - in fact it's pretty clearly a retcon - but it's also not contradicted. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good, but the first volume is the best.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Chapters cut at the end. Please fix if possible. Otherwise very enjoyable
