Review: Spellslinger

Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kellen is about to turn 16 and to take an honoured palce in his society and live up to his powerful family's reputation he has to pass four trials to become a spellcaster. He has studied all the spells, he just doesn't have any magic to power them. Just as humiliation and relegation to life as a servant seems certain Kellen meets an Argosi traveller and a fiesty squirrel cat who offer him a different path. This is a classic cowboy story in an arabian nights setting , funny and fresh, the squirrel cat steals the show.
