I love Sesskia with all her skills, flaws, and complexities. Sesskia would have been a base-jumper in our world or teamed up with Oceans 11 as the new person who clambers up the outside of glass towers… She channels Jackie Chan at his acrobatic nimble best. And that’s also one of her inherent flaws as a human, she does crazy things without thinking them through all the way or against her better judgement, but it’s part of her character, her bravery, and her sheer badassery. (Pretty sure that’s a word.) But that’s how she has survived and grown as a mage in her world, where mages are feared and murdered.
Sesskia was surviving on her own, leaving clues in case other mages followed in her footsteps, until a fateful night when she wakes up somewhere else. Somewhere strangely different and familiar. And she’s been captured by a spell rendered by a LOT of other mages, one of whom she’d love to smack for his arrogant, cold, irritating self. Or set on fire. Oh, wait, she may have done that already to a few of these new mages.
Now if she could only get out of this room, not as hard as it seems for someone who’s an accomplished thief and can see and walk through walls. Well, maybe it’s not quite as easy as she’d hoped. Getting out of the room isn’t the only problem. No one speaks her language, no one trusts her, but some of these new people are out to use her toward their own ends. Can any of them be trusted?
I loved this series, although it was hard for me at first to get into the diary format. And I thought Sesskia was a bit foolish at times, until I realized that had to be part of her character. She has to be impulsive to survive. It’s what keeps her alive, makes her a great thief, and allows her to learn and thrive as a mage. So sometimes she flies by the seat of her pants, but she shows a lot of character growth along the way. She starts understanding others more and judging less. Sesskia doesn’t have a lot of social or people skills and she has to really grow along the way. Because the arrogant leader of the mages in this new world is not the problem. There are powerful evil and selfish people who would see her world destroyed in the coming disaster. The convergence where two worlds collide and only one can survive. Can one mage, Sesskia, save her world from the other world full of mages, ruled by a mad God-Empress?
