Sorce: Birth of Echo

by Casey Truly

While others have been working and studying hard for the coming semester at Sirrus, a college where students learn to master the mystical powers of sorce, Charlie has neglected his two best-friends and spent most of his time with his girlfriend, Laurie.

Now, two years later, in the midst of trying to reconnect with old friends and make new ones, Charlie finds there's a growing shadow that follows him, a voice in his head that isn't his own, something sinister by nature that wants to kill. A conspiracy that involves him, the ones he loves, this new college, and a man who once attended Sirrus, sets in motion an adventure between life and death.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The story was able to pull me in. There are some QA/QC issues in the book. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for the QA/QC issues.

A stellar debut by a new author. This book has the makings of a fascinating world and an imaginative magic system. I’ve actually read it twice and it was even more engaging upon the second read.

The characters are young, flawed, and full of heart, the lore hints and a much deeper story that might be developed in future books.

The battles are fast-paced and invigorating and were some of my favorite moments of growth with our hero, Charlie.
