Story Blurb:

Aurora Firenze lives a quiet life hiding in a junkyard. Her repair shop is the last hope for gadgets and gizmos before they get tossed onto the trash towers. Fortunately, Aurora can fix almost anything, including mages, though repairing people with metal enchantments is highly illegal. 

Edmund Rallis, heir to the Rallis senate seat, has spent months hunting down his errant enchantress. He’ll play every game he knows to win her back and entice her to share the secrets she hides. But he’s inadvertently put her on the frontlines of a new game, one with an opponent who’s determined to destroy Rallis Territory and drive the Republic toward war. If the new enemy isn’t stopped in time, Edmund will lose his enchantress again—and this time there won’t be another chance.

*I received an e-ARC of Enchanter’s Echo from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*

Enchanter’s Echo is the second book in the Mayflower Mages series.  The first was Syphon’s Song.

Read on for my thoughts on Enchenter’s Echo.  No true spoilers, promise.

I absolutely loved the world building in this novel.  I enjoy reading alternative universe based novels mainly to see how the author changes, merges and creates an entire new existence.  And as a result, has me believing it in totally.  I don’t know that I’d want to live in this world, too many secrets to be held close in order to keep your life – but it certainly is delightfully entertaining to visit.

Aurora and Edmund’s story is full of suspense, suspicion and secrets.  It’s obvious that they love each other.  Equally obvious that they have different ways in dealing with the harsh realities of their world.  Each has magical abilities, neither one will back down from a fight in which they believe they are justified – so, we end up with powerful people needing to find a way to fight their common enemy without tearing each other apart.

I would invite you to check out the Mayflower Mages series for yourself.  In an alternative universe almost anything is possible – and I think you need to experience this universe for yourself.  You will find dark and light magic, really nasty villains to hate, a very well defined secondary cast of characters to enjoy and a mystery that will take their combined talents to figure out.

I am eagerly waiting on the next story – and I think you would be too if you’d read the series.  So go on, pick up a copy and fall into an amazing story that will keep you interested to the very last page.
