Ilustration Toward Books Ink Mage (A Fire Beneath the Skin #1)
This book is a Kindle Serial. Kindle Serials are stories published in episodes, with future episodes delivered every two weeks (to be complete January, 2014).The city of Klaar has never fallen. No enemy has ever made it across the Long Bridge or penetrated the city’s mighty walls. Even when a powerful invading army shows up at the gates, the duke and his daughter, Rina Veraiin, are certain that it poses little threat.
But they are cruelly betrayed from within and, in a horrific spasm of violence, the city is brought to its knees.
With the help of her bodyguard, Kork, the battle-trained young Rina narrowly escapes the slaughter and makes her way to the lair of an ancient sorcerer—the Ink Mage—who gifts her with a strange, beautiful set of magical tattoos.
Now a duchess in exile, Rina sets out on a quest to reclaim what is rightfully hers, aided by a motley assortment of followers who will help her in her cause—some for noble reasons and others for their own dark purposes.
With the enemy’s agents nipping at her heels, Rina must learn to harness her new and startling magical powers if she is to assert her rightful place as ruler of Klaar.

The first chapter had me hooked. Though the middle of the book did plateau out. A very entertaining book, the story line was good, the odd curse here and there (where needed), a couple of mild sex scenes, loads of fighting and action with a bit of gore, and not to forget to mention magic! Yes, this book really did hit the spot. Looking forward to book 2.Alright, so here's the thing. This is probably really only a 3 star book (maybe even 2 star if I think about it too much). However, after reading the author's bio and realizing he received his PhD from the University of Southern Mississippi I had to show some love. Probably not the best way to rate a book, but hey, it's my rating so...Honestly, the book is not bad. It's just not great either. It's told from multiple POVs, and when I say multiple I mean like 6+. I'm not a huge fan of that writing
2.4This book started out like something I was really up for: a simple and fun fantasy novel full of magic and adventure. Rina seemed like a good protagonist too as shes competent, but a little naïve, leaving room for success while still learning from her adventures. Then there was what seemed like a pretty fun and straight-forward plot structure involving traveling to different ink mages to gain powers with hopes of preparing to fight back against those who have wronged her family, a structure
I received a free copy of this book through Goodreads First Reads. FTC guidelines: check!Ink Mage is the story of Rina Veraiin and her struggles with the letter I. Just kidding... and her struggle to reclaim her duchy from an invading army. She vows revenge against the (one-note) bad guy(s) who took it from her but she's just a girl, how is she going to accomplish this? Enter: tattoo magic system!Apparently, this book was originally released as a Kindle Serial but I received the full story all
super religious people don't like this book because of all of the swearing, apparently. shit, that's too fucking bad for them I guess. makes me like it even more, goddamnit.

This was a most interesting read. A magic system based mainly on tattoos? Color me intrigued. As it turns out, this has basis in our history, as yantra tattooing.Yantra tattoos are supposed to be a sort of good luck charm, or bestow magical powers, much like in this book. The practice is two millennia old.Ink Mage certainly follows some Game of Thrones clichés. Almost rape? Check. People getting killed left and right? Double check. Turncoat traitors? You betcha.While I understand the need to
