This is the kind of book I wished I had read sooner although it just came out this year. I know I don’t make much sense but this book just felt nostalgic and warm. This is not necessarily a happy book, the villains are truly evil and the story sometimes goes to really dark places but I still think this is gonna become one of my comfort reads. Also, this was originally supposed to be a standalone but the author decided to write a sequel and I am so looking forward to it!

This book has everything – magic, training montage, ballads, legends, void monsters, truly evil villains, self discovery, wonderful themes and portrayal of friendship and bonding, a cutesy romance, battle, dragons and dragon riding !

All in all, Dragon Mage by M.L. Spencer is a wonderfully crafted epic fantasy which feels like a classical fantasy but reads like a modern fantasy. It takes you on an adventure and at the same time make you feel so much at home. One of the best 2021 releases !
