In Magics Guardian Life will never be the same for soldiers of fortune, McIvor Mac Docherty and his buddy Angus Striker McDonough. Trapped in a cave system after a lost battle, the two men find their fate tied to Ch'dwen of Ard'win, Guardian to the King of Elves. In a race to save kidnapped Queen Shad, Mac and Striker will learn the truth of Strikers own existence and the meaning of true magic. Magic and lore come alive as Guardians and Soldiers join with their spirit animals to ride across Egypt into the Northern Continent in search of a traitor, dragons and lost love.
This was an entertaining story up to a point. It was written well except for the minor editing errors. The author tells an engaging adventure story but there are a few things I didn't care for. The middle of this book is seriously lacking in action. I was about three quarters into the book and became a little bored. There was just nothing going on. I feel like there needed to be more action less waiting going on. I mean Ch'dwen was dead for a year and it's like nothing really happened during that time. Well things happened but nothing exciting. The other thing I think could have been done better is the love interests. If this is part of a series I think having all the characters "hook up" all in the first book seems too easy. I also had a hard time reconciling that this was supposed to be set in 31 B.C. I completely forgot that part until the outlanders said something about the world being flat. Fantasy book and all I get but maybe don't give a real life date and place to start maybe.
