review 1: In the final book in the Frontier Magic series, Eff joins an expedition to travel further West than anyone has ever gone before. As they travel to the west, Eff continues to grow in her magical abilities and to unite the three different schools of magic within her. But the creatures of the west are more dangerous than any they have yet faced and they threaten to bring the great barrier crashing down unless she can find a way to stop them. This series is great fun. I really loved it. And I don't know why. The writing style is measured and in some ways quite ponderous ... but I loved it. The series is well planned and executed with each book progressing the story to the final moments. Honestly I just love these books. ...but they may not be for everyone. To be hone... morest I should have struggled with these books. They require a bit more commitment than I normally have to give. For whatever reason, they worked for me, and I hope they work for you (if you buy them).
review 2: i'm not going to write a long review just the essentials:regardless of the reviews book 1 is still my favourite the main character and the side characters in general are well drawn, eff is complexe enough to be interestingthe world building is goodthe magic system is disapointing ( this is what bugged me the most , it was just too vague and i felt a bit cheated )the pace for some reason seemed extra slow in the first half and kind of rushed at the second. the magic system ...... (sigh) really . less
