A review by thinde
The Chemical Mage by Felix R. Savage

3.0

Reading this was a bit of a slog. The worldbuilding was excellent and there was plenty of action, but the protagonist, Colm, felt flat. He seemed somewhat selfish and emotionally muffled. Colm can only be defined by the things he hates because there seems little that he likes in this world.

The title of the book leads us to expect something that isn't present for most of the book. It reads as a straight Sci-Fi military novel up until the last 10%. I'm not averse to that, just sayin'
