This book is a standalone. You need absolutely no knowledge of the other books in this series to read and enjoy this one. This book contains two exuberant men who are wild and unrestrained in their attraction toward one another.
The Review
This book is reminiscent of pulp science fiction, but with few twenty-first century modifications. The story is action packed and fast paced, with inordinately graphic violence included in the fight scenes. The racy romance exists, but instead of a damsel in distress being rescued by a dashing male protagonist, both main characters are male and work on work on rescuing each other from disaster. The romance is squeezed in between action sequences that flow into one another with a relentless pace that keeps the reader turning pages.
Feral Magic is the fifth book in the World Breaker Beginnings series, but the story reads well as a standalone. Tieden and Kalem, the main characters, find themselves jumping through portals together while they attempt to hide from the oppressive authority on their home world, Nix. The first chapter of this story introduces the reader to Tieden.
Once Tieden and Kalem meet, the action takes over the story leaving minimal opportunity for character development beyond learning the expanding capabilities of the two refugees of Nix.
The introduction of other worlds from Tieden and Kalem’s portal hopping, and the manner in which the story is resolved, tease the reader with potential adventures from previous and future volumes of this series. If you are looking for fast paced, pulp style story that has elements of fantasy and science fiction, some vivid descriptions of interesting worlds, and a dash of romance, this is a great book to dive into.

She has a degree in engineering, works at a comic book store, and goes for long bike rides at night during the full moon because of the sun allergy. Aethena was forced to switch to mostly e-books and audio books when the last floor to ceiling bookcase started to overflow. She is on her fifth e-reader, and is contemplating using her engineering degree to design an e-reader that can withstand her capacity for destruction.
