It’s nice to see the balance between the two of them and the mutual effort they put into their relationship, whatever it actually is, and into saving the world. From the first chapter to the last, Angus and Saka work their influence on each other without being controlling or overbearing. The characters in this book worked well together and I’m excited to see how they grow as the series continues. There were a few points where the exposition became a little repetitive, but it wasn’t enough to actively turn me off from the book. The writing style is easy to digest and usually makes it clear as to what’s going on. Now that I’ve read the first installment of the series, I can safely say I liked it and will be tuning in for the sequels. I initially started reading the third in the series without knowing it was part of a larger story, so even though I liked the writing, I couldn’t get a good feel for the book. “Warlock in Training” and I had a little bit of a weird start. Whatever he does, he is in the middle of a war he isn’t qualified to fight. If Angus survives his demon’s desires and the perils of Demonside, he’ll have to face the Warlock College and their demands.Īngus must choose: obey the College and forget about Demonside or trust Saka and try to fix the damage before it’s too late. Saka wants to use Angus in a ritual to rebalance the magic that is being stripped from Demonside by warlocks. Although not the way anyone expects.Īngus’s demon, Saka, is a powerful mage with his own need for a warlock.

Despite Angus’s best efforts to fumble the summoning, it works. Failure means expulsion from the Warlock College. His only way out is to fail the demon summoning class. He believes draining demons for magic is evil, but it’s a dangerous opinion to have-his father is a powerful and well-connected warlock, and Angus is expected to follow the family tradition. Angus Donohue doesn’t want to be a warlock.
