Story was good, adopted teenage girl doesn’t know she has magic now has to save her kingdom. This is a very popular storyline, I can’t even count how many books I’ve read with this storyline, born in magic doesn’t have anything that sets it apart but I did enjoy it. Ends on a cliffhanger which leave you wanting the next book. I found Robyn annoying so I just couldn’t connect with her. She was to Whiney for me, I wanted to know the meaning behind her mothers ring . There is a lot of errors that shouldn’t have been caught in the editing. Without the errors and if I was given the meaning of the ring I would have rated a 4.
I received an advance review copy for for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily
The storyline is really good. I liked the fae and magic in it. I understand that Robin has no idea that she has magic in her due to how she was raised. She was a bit of a whiny girl but is starting to grow in the story. Holden is a very impatient character who should understand that some of this is going to take time. But we can also understand to a degree. I loved Abe in the story and think he is my favorite. The story has great promise and the series is going to be good. It is for sure worth reading. I voluntarily review an advanced reader copy of this book.
Born In Magic is Book 1 of The Fae Queen series. The author has an interesting story line and well developed and varied characters. Our MC Robin is 18 and is told by Holden on her birthday that she is adopted, is a fae princess, has magical powers, needs to return to Taidal to defeat the evil and save her people, and Holden has been sent to bring her home. Of course, Robin find this impossible to believe. The story moves at a good pace and holds your interest until the end. The story line was intriguing enough that I will continue with the series as it has great potential and because I want to see where the author is going to take us. It was a very enjoyable read and I recommend it. Receive a copy and this is my voluntary and honest review.
Born in Magic by Basia Pike is the beginning of a new fantasy romance series. In this book, we are introduced to 17-year-old Robin. In just a couple of days, she’ll be 18 and she’s more than ready to leave behind the bullies of her high school and move on to bigger and better things. What Robin isn’t expecting is for some creepy guy to pull her aside in her favorite pizza place after staring at her the entire time! Add in another hot guy who comes to her rescue and it looks like her life is about to change in a huge way! Robin learns that she’s from a different world and that it’s time for her to return home to save her people from an evil that murdered her real parents.
Born in Magic is an engaging story that follows Robin and is told from her perspective. My first reaction to her when I started reading this story was sympathy. She’s bullied by her peers and ostracized by most. Of course, the author sends me on a roller coaster ride with her, because the author reveals that, of course, Robin isn’t perfect. When she learns she was “adopted” she was angry with her parents for not telling her sooner. Things go up and down with Robin. She’s torn between helping the people her family once ruled and returning to the human realm.
I appreciate how the author has Robin pretty true to life as a character. She has selfish moments of where she does basically what she wants. I have to say though that I find some conflict in what she says and what she does. She says that she won’t marry a man she doesn’t know, but she’ll sleep with a guy she barely knows? Seems a bit…opposed to each other. But often her selfishness crops up. She understands the predicament that Holden is in, but yet she still wants to get upset about it. I begin to wonder…does she want him to be killed?!
I will say also, that this book could use another once over by an editor/proofreader. There are places in the book, mostly in the beginning of where there are either misspelled words or sentences that don’t 100% make sense.
In the end, I did enjoy this book and the surprises that the author gives the reader later in the book. I have to say that I am eager for the next book in this series. I am rating this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. I’m taking off half a star for the editorial issues and a couple other things. For those who enjoy familiar tropes – a young woman not knowing she’s a princess, forbidden “love”, shifters, etc then this is the book to pick up.
*Also! Please note that there IS sex in this story (one scene) but for those who like clean reads, this may not be a book you’ll enjoy.
