Asher of Steel Rim might be a halfway-decent thief, but he’s not exactly the realm’s most popular guy. As an outcast among outcasts, some hate him for his scale-tipped, pointed ears. Others wish him dead because he’s a magi in a land where those born with etherarchy are outlawed. In the wild, desert wastelands of Drakfell, Asher finally finds the opportunity he’s been waiting for: A chance to avenge his mother’s death by taking down the legendary leader of the Mage Hunters herself. The Black Valkyrie. To get his shot, Asher joins a crew of Knights determined to steal a true dragon egg. But Asher’s journey of personal vengeance lands him right in the middle of a war that goes far beyond anything he could’ve imagined.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  This book is perfect for anyone who loved Eragon, Mistborn, or Avatar the Last Airbender.

Ok…this book had me at dragons, I will admit that much. This does have a typical fantasy theme “others wish him dead because he’s a magi.” Yet, I always enjoy these types of fantasy novels. This does sounds really good. The cover looks intriguing and comparable books make this sound like an enjoyable read. The reviews even sound good! This looks like the type of book I will read and then choose to buy a physical copy for my eldest son to read as well.
