Wading Through Ink
SPELLS AND MAGIC. HOPE AND REDEMPTION. A VILLAIN WITH THE UNFORTUNATE BURDEN OF MORALITY.
Wyre has been cut off from his source of power and set adrift in a world that doesn't belong to him. As a parasite, he needs to find some means to gain his abilities back before he goes insane, so he follows his "mother's" final instruction toward a kingdom ripe for the taking.
He honestly didn't anticipate meeting anyone with the wit to match his sass, and never once did he think his intent to use the striking maiden would end with his sincere wish to help her. After all, helping wasn't the role he'd been told to play once upon a time. But now the choices are his to make. He's well past the happily ever after of the story he was made for.
Wit and humor erupt in this new sort of fairytale as Wyre learns who he is, what he can be, and—just maybe—that even villains can fall in love.

So good!
I wasn't sure about reading the villains book but it was so well done! Beautiful, interesting story and the world she has built between the three books has me wanting more!

This was a LOT of fun. There will be no further books written in this series, or probably by this author at all, but if you read one thing from Anne Stryker...read this.
The magic system is fascinating, and fun to figure out. Wyre, the main male character, is hilarious, sarcastic, and trying to figure out who he is.
The main female character goes by a few names, but let's call her Sunset. She is sassy enough for both of them, or at least sassy enough to match Wyre.
Fantastic coming of age story, honestly. Loved it. Five stars.
