The Hexologists by Josiah Bancroft
3.0
Do you like mysteries? Do you like magic? Do you like a bit of a historical vibe? Then this is the perfect book for you!
Through the magical mystery, we are introduced to the absolutely adorable couple of Iz and Warren Wilby. They are one of the most loveable, healthy, relationships I have read. Their romance is not overexaggerated but not underrepresented. As they go on their journey there are many moments of loving remarks that show just how much they love and respect each other. #RelationshipGoals.
Beyond that, the book takes on a political mystery shrouded in a world of sorcery, hexes, and fantastical creatures. Although it is political in nature, the answers delve into the character’s personal revelations about love and loss which brings about an interesting insight into their backstory.
Should you take a look at the very front or very back of the book there is a very handy index of characters, terms, and even hexes. I found all these very useful references as I was reading. It gives more uniqueness to the book itself. It also makes it easier for readers who are not as familiar with reading books of magic.
Personally, I am not much of a mystery person. After a while, it begins to lose my attention and eventually I just want it to end and to know the answer. I am a magic person. For that reason, I had hoped I would like this book. However, it was just a little too much historical mystery vibe for me. Anyone who does like mysteries, I am sure would very much enjoy this book.
