The story follows Sanja Zetareh Lazar, a princess who tries to run away from a fate she doesn’t want to partake in. In her escape, she finds a bigger monster that will threaten to destroy everything she loves and has known.
Sanja is definitely a princess character. When she’s running away from the princess's life the challenges and changes she’s going through are hilarious. I loved the fact she was thinking about her princess's life and how she would be served and how she would be the one giving orders not the other way around. She has been a badass from the very first moment when she decided to run away from the fate her dad imposed on her and has grown so much more ever since. I really loved her change and how many things she has learned.
Tristan at first I thought he might be one of those morally grey characters with a dark past trying to redeem himself, but Tristan has a sad story and all he knows is how to survive and stay away as much as possible from the Fae’s path. I enjoyed the fact he was so hardheaded but slowly opened up to Sanja and he was the first one to share his feelings.
Prince Recienne is definitely a morally grey character. He’s ruthless and such a horrible person but for some reason, he helped Sanja all along – even tho he treated her horribly. I’m definitely interested in what turn his story will take because he has made me feel so confused and have such big contradictory feelings.
There are of course other characters in the story that have some sort of control over where the story goes and an impact but they had their appearance brief – minus the king, he was one of those despicable characters that I cheered when he got what he deserved.
The world-building is definitely amazing. The opulence the fae have, the way they’re delimited by the length of their name, and how so many of them were ruthless and so horrible even tho they were so, so beautiful that were making the people to be attracted to them like moths to light. The world the fae lived in was also very interesting, their food was mouthwatering and the overall description of their world was beautiful.
The magic system for the mages was definitely something new for me. They would store their power into some mage stones, and the more they would use the less magic they would have, but I loved they had so many opportunities to earn more magic, and the way they used it sometimes was mind-blown. Who would love to put food on the table with a flick of a finger?
The pace of the story was definitely great, not too slow not too fast. You got the perfect amount of information when needed, the story was shown to us instead of told which I like the best when comes to stories, and even tho you had only one pov in the story, following Sanja in her adventures was definitely amazing and I’m excited for what’s yet to come into their story. I enjoyed how the relationship between Sanja and Tristan developed, it came naturally.
The book has spice in it but is not overly detailed or too smutty, I’d catalog the spice in it perhaps at 3 flame peppers considering there is some use of words and some more spicy moments – the sexual tension is perfectly made and the way things develop was smooth.

About the author
Fantasy, Romance, & a Twist!!!
So, to summarize, The Quarter Mage is a tale about a princess, Sanja, who is forced to marry a tyrant lord that she knows only has evil intentions. Only his intentions are far more nefarious than she could have ever imagined. As soon as their vows are complete, her now husband and his men begin to slaughter her father, the king, and everyone from his kingdom in attendance, including Sanja herself. She awakes miraculously healed on the boarder of the fairylands and is thrust into a world where no human is safe except for the Mage and Master Mage. In this new land, surrounded my fairies with varying degrees of magical abilities, how will she survive these creatures that prey on her humanity, who are only further enticed by her vulnerability and lack of magic? ***Minor Spoilers Ahead*** I've never ended a story more conflicted about the love interest in my life. Our heroine, Sanja, has a clear cut love interest, Tristan, throughout this entire story. We observe and, more importantly, understand why they fall in love. He truly does seem to be a good guy, rescuing Sanja from the beginning and continues to do so and care about her all the way to the very last page. However, there's this "bad guy"-- only he doesn't seem all that bad. The Fairy Prince is certainly our antihero of the story and I'm 100% intrigued by his character and can't help but feel like he's hiding some pretty intense feelings towards our heroine that's motivating his behavior. At the end, it's also heavily implied that there's a lot more going on that the prince is aware of that he may be trying to keep Sanja safe from. With all that said, the part of me that has a bit more of a self-destructive tendency, really wants to see where her story could go with him. All in all, it was a very well written story with a bit of spice sprinkled in that I truly enjoyed reading. I'm very interested to see where this story goes in its second installment and would love to read some of the author's other works in the meantime.
