As usual, I’m quite far behind in writing up my book review, and as I work my way through the list of books I’ve read recently, and not reviewed, I saw the next book in this series (Burned) and realised that the review that I had posted for this book, Veiled, was actually a review of Burned, Doh! So I’ve cut that review, and I’ll paste it into the review of the actual book it should be, and then try to write something about this one.
The truth is, I can’t remember much about this book. I think that Alex started working for the Keepers, which is like the magical white mage’s secret police, and he did some undercover work with them, and the themes were about him trying to prove that he isn’t at heart a dark mage even though he (kind of unwittingly) had begun an apprenticeship with a dark mage but that he has turned his back on all that and really is a good guy. It shone a light on some of the factions and political infighting within the white mage community as well.
