Summary For Daughter of Magic
Luskell has been dreaming about dead people.
Her parents may be two most powerful wizards in the country, but Luskell doesn't have any magic of her own, so she's stuck spending a summer with her grandmother in the small town of Deep River where her father is the hometown hero. Then the dead start to visit her dreams with mysterious messages. In a secret pact with her friends Jagryn and Laki, Luskell begins to teach herself magic and discovers an apparently bottomless well of untapped power. But before she has control over this ability, her dead grandfather appears with a dire warning. With no way to send word to her parents, Luskell and her friends mount a daring rescue. Can they get to the capital in time to save the country ... and her parents' lives?
Summary For Wizard Girl
Girls can’t become wizards, but Luskell aims to do it anyway. She leaves the city on her quest ... with a murderer close behind. Now she must repair damaged friendships and trust an unexpected ally if she's going to stop the killer before he strikes again.
While an epidemic rages and a strangler stalks the streets of the city, Luskell trains and works as a healer, but she aspires to greater power. Though everyone knows girls can’t become wizards, she persuades Wizard Bardin to make her his apprentice. Luskell leaves the city on a quest for new magic and to explore mysteries that have more to do with love and desire. But the strangler follows her. She must gain the trust of old friends and an unexpected ally if she's going to stop the murderer before he strikes again.
My Thoughts
First of all, I kind of accidentally spoiled myself a little for the first book, Daughter of Magic, because I somehow thought that Wizard Girl was the first book so I read about 7 or 8 chapters before I realized that I must have been missing something. I looked it up and, sure enough, I was reading book 2! So I put it down and picked up Daughter of Magic.
Like I said, I did accidentally spoil myself with some of it but they were both still really good books! I had actually forgotten that they had been sent to me to read and review until I decided to rearrange my bookshelves and came across them. I so glad I did!
Luskell is a great character! I pictured so much of these books and can definitely imagine them being made into movies. I've been trying to decide who I think would make a good Luskell but I'm still undecided.
If you haven't read this series yet, you need to pick them up!
*Note: I received copies of these books in exchange for an honest review.
