The Rules of Enchantment by Wendy Tardieu
2.0
In ‘The Rules of Enchantment’ we meet the exiled sorcerer Leith. Leith spends his days in his castle plotting ways to get the restrictions that the Academy, sort of their government, has put on the use of magic. When the Academy starts to expect Leith being up to something, they send him a beautiful young scribe, someone that isn’t good with magic, named Kyler to spy on him without her knowing. But soon after Leith and Kylar meet things change between them. Leith isn’t as harsh and unkind as being said. And Kylar is more gifted than anyone could have guessed.
This book started of interesting. We get a little peak in Leith’s life, and the mysterious woods he is exiled too. Soon after we meet Kylar, and I definitely enjoyed her character. She was interesting, and didn’t let her being a scribe, dictate her life. She was really fun to get to know. And I was excited to learn more about her.
We also learn a little bit about the setting, the kingdom of Salyndria, but to my opinion not nearly as much as was needed to make me really get this book. There was a lot of mystery about this kingdom and it’s world, and I kept wondering a lot of the time.
And then the major problem I had with this book. The romance. I was disappointed to read that there wasn’t much romance in this book at all. There were a view sex scenes, but they were rather sudden to me and really not that fun to read. The chemistry between Leith and Kylar was something I really didn’t feel. And their moments together felt simple off to me.
In the end I struggled to finish this read. The promised romance just wasn’t there, I didn’t get the setting of Salyndria as much as I would have liked and it just didn’t work for me. If you ask me, this book should be called a Fantasy novel, instead of a Paranormal Romance one, maybe if I’d thought of this as a Fantasy novel it would have worked more for me.
