“Thr rite of wands by Mackenzie Flohr
This was a kind of book which left me curious for more. A tale of magic, trust, betrayal, prophecies, love, hate, sorrow, family, secrets and wands. This was a a book with a different vibe to it with the historical society and characters who will definitely keep you curious. To be honest it took me a long time to read this book. The writing was a bit different but later after a few chapters I was comfortable with it. The author has an unique style and I acknowledge that it's beautiful.
This is a tale of a kingdom and it's prophecies that need to come true and some people trying to stop it. At the heart of this tale is betrayal, trust and magic that gives the whole thing a blissful uplift that will ensnare you if, you are a fan of historical fiction. The rite of wands is a procedure that every warlock must undergo and thus whatever happens at that time should not be told to anyone no matter what. That being the only rule complicates things. A murdered mother, a murdered king... So many events yet hidden to the eyes. A quest of the warlocks to see justice done with a wonderfully crafted book. I loved the characters both dark and good with the plot of the story.
The multiple pov's in this book keep the anticipation up if what is to come and that acts as a treat to the reader. The landscape setup was a bit confusing but I thoroughly enjoyed the circumstances and how the story just flowed from past, future and present without too many hitches. If you are looking for a grasping read with a touch of magic you can surely pick this book up.

“This is a 3.5 for me. I received the audiobook as part of an audiobook blog tour, so this will be a review of the performance of the audiobook as well as the plot of the book.
Let's talk about the thing that drove the rating down for me, that would be the narration. I really tried to like the narrator, but at times it felt like he was trying a bit too hard, and at others his voice was monotonous. It really distracted me from the story to the point that I had to stop listening about half-way through and just continue reading on my Kindle.
The story itself is very imaginative. You can tell that Flohr spent a lot of time developing this world with love and care.
I've seen mention in other reviews that Orylnd's dialect threw some readers. However, I really enjoyed it and wonder if has anything to do with the speech each person is used to hearing regularly.
Flohr is terrific at describing her beautiful settings in detail, making them come to life within your mind.
The plot of this book is very fast paced, and sometimes that left the problem and resolution to that problem feeling a bit convoluted. A little more development of the ideas within the dialogue or actions would make these seem more natural.
There is a time jump, and I have to say, I really enjoyed seeing how each character changed and matured into their adult selves. I think it leaves a wonderful opportunity to do a short story or novelette with the missing time for hardcore fans.
Overall, I enjoyed the book but not the audiobook.”
