Poor Agatha, Folke, and Storm! And wow, I think the world needs a whole slew of wizard/mage fire departments. Like every Rachel Ford book I’ve read, this one was full of endearing characters, wonderfully charming details, and a creative and entertaining plot as well. I admit the title had me expecting something along the lines of a competition, but I loved the book exactly as-is and wouldn’t change a thing about it, except perhaps extend the lifespans of a few characters. This was the 1st book I’ve read in this series, but there wasn’t any problem understanding everything going on in this bingeworthy standalone.
I received a free copy of Transmogrification Games, but that did not affect my review.
Change is hard enough, but when it involves foul play and magic as well, things are really going to be messy. Looks like our gang has another tricky one to resolve and fast.
This is book three of this series but it is written as a standalone. You can read this one without reading the first and only miss some of the background
This is a high fantasy story with magic and fantastic races. The story is well written and easy to read, something I have come to expect from our author and she never disappoints. The characters are also well developed and the true stars of the show. I love our two heroines and their banter, while our hero provides both the level head and a sense of humor. The plot is also well thought out and complex, keeping us guessing as to what comes next. Overall, these elements all blend into a fantastic story that is hard to put down once you start. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more books in this series.
Highly recommended.
I received an ARC from Story Origin for review purposes.
**** SPOILER ALERT ****
Ford delivers a delightfully twisty mystery wrapped in the trappings of a fantasy in “Transmogrification Games: ( Sellswords & Spellweaves, Book 3 )”.
The author, as I have become to expect, has delivered more great world building and character development.
I really enjoyed some of the “fowl” situations that Liss found herself in. Ford kept me guessing as to who was playing the titular transmogrification games in this entertaining page turner of a tale. I also liked how the author did a call back to the first two novels in the series.
I recommend that you, my fellow reader, go grab this book and read it! You won’t regret doing so.
In the interest of transparency: I was given a review copy of this book and I am voluntarily sharing this review.
It is my own honest opinion.
Transmogrification Games is Book 3 in the Sellswords & Spellweavers series by Rachel Ford. A well written story that incorporates the characters from the two earlier books. This is a unique and interesting tale that can be read as a stand alone. It is an enjoyable read which I recommend. Received and ARC from the author and this is my voluntary and honest review.
Transmogrification Games (Sellswords & Spellweavers, #3), my nineteenth read from author Rachel Ford. Picking up seamlessly from the first two books, this epic fantasy book is so well-written & enjoyable, no matter the genre a Rachel Ford book can be counted on to be entertaining & enjoyable. An interesting thing about this series is that the constant is the characters, each book is slightly fantasy different. “I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.” (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
