Sorcery Code

Sorcery Code by Dima Zales
Hello my loyal readers!
I'm back again!! & this time I've got a book review for you this time. I just got done reading the Sorcery Code by Dima Zales & initially I didn't think I was going to like it. The opening scene has a naked woman appearing in a sorcerer's lab. I enjoy a good zombie book, some science fiction ( paging L. Ron & H.P. Lovecraft lol) horror ( hello, have you met me?!) lol & fantasy or suspense but romance stuff isn't really my cup of tea. I will say though that after the initial scene, any love scenes were modest and left a lot to the imagination. There was some kissing and a few intimate scenes but the author truly did focus more on character development than titillating love scenes.
The story begins in a land where the ruling class are sorcerers who maintain control over the commoners by keeping their magical spells under strict secrecy. There has been a drought in the land which has led to peasant uprisings against the sorcerers which is then defeated by the royal guard.
The main character Blaise wants to create an item that will make casting spells easier but then it backfires on him when he creates Gala, a magical being from the spell realm who takes the shape of a beautiful woman. The story follows Gala in her exploration of the world, her magical abilities and the chaos that occurs.
The story ends with a lot of loose ends & while I didn't think I'd enjoy it, I found myself wanting to read the sequel. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 8.
