Voice of Power is the first book in The Spoken Mage series. It tells the story of Elena, an ordinary girl who is happy with her ordinary life. Her only concern is getting drafted into the army, but she knows that it's better for her to volunteer herself than to sacrifice her intelligent brother who is studying for a bright future at the University or her fragile sister who is prone to illness. All of that changes when she inadvertently uses magic by speaking a single word. Elena is a loyal citizen to her kingdom and would never dream of attempting to read or write because she knows how dangerous it can be. Therefore, she never dreamed she would be forced to join the Academy and study with other mages about magical powers that she shouldn't even have to begin with.The book reminds me a little of Shannon Hale's Princess Academy because both books are about common girls who are permitted to attend school and learn the value of education due to a discrepancy in their kingdom's laws. In Elena's case, however, writing without the ability to control it results in dangerous outbursts of magic that can cause a lot of people to get hurt, so her kingdom is probably better off without educating their commoners. She must figure out the source of her powers quickly so she doesn't cause damage toward the people and structures around her. Having such a unique skill does not win her a lot of friends at the Academy. Since magic typically only runs in noble bloodlines, many students look down at her for her common heritage. Fortunately, she does make one friend named Coralie who helps her maintain her sanity throughout her many trials and tribulations at the Academy.Among the most powerful families at the school who are determined to make Elena feel unwelcome is Prince Lucas. Lucas comes off as a jerk at first, but his true intentions are revealed later on as he shows concern for Elena's safety in his own way. Lucas will have to grow a lot as a character to become worthy of Elena's affections because this book just doesn't cut it in terms of romance. His friends do everything in their power to hurt her physically and mentally while he just watches as an impartial observer. Lucas clearly wants Elena to get out of dangerous situations on her own and master her abilities, but he never stands up for her to his extremely mean and violent friends. It isn't fair to Elena for him to try to play both sides.Voice of Power is a unique concept and a decent start to The Spoken Mage series. However, it wasn't quite strong enough to make me want to read the next book. Too much of it was only about how miserable Elena was in her classes and how she didn't fit in at the Academy. It might have hit a little too close to home by reminding me of my own high school experiences. Melanie Cellier usually excels at romance, but Lucas was not an appealing enough character for me to root for him to get together with Elena. The only saving grace for me was the relationship between Elena and her best friend Coralie, but Coralie was never present when Elena was in real danger. I hope that she will have a bigger role in the later books and that Prince Lucas will take more initiative with his intentions.
If you bothered to see the premise of this book, why are you reading this review? Go get this book! Is the blurb not captivating enough! Though Ms. Cellier has never strayed from her fairytale-retelling genre before, I'm glad she found the idea for this brilliant new storyworld. I'm ever so glad she formed it into a brand-new series of fantasy books for us to read! I mean, this entire world is built on a foundation of words. Writing magic. That should be enough to lure in any number of writers. And the main protagonist, Elena of Kingslee, is a girl with the power of speaking magic. The world-building was fantastic. The author carefully explains to us the way of the written word and how life goes at the Academy... speaking of which, I love stories that take place at a special school for special people! Although I definitely would have liked to see more of Elena's friends-- Coralie and Finnian-- as they seemed somewhat eclipsed by the presence of Prince Lucas. He... Lucas... was not the type of hero that I'm used to from this author. Of course, all of Miss Melanie's heroes are very different in their own ways, but the romances are not quite as... forced? I just thought that Lucas and Elena seemed to have too much of a weak base attraction to be so prominent in the ovearching story. So, sadly I do have to take half a star off for the romance. Overall, VOICE OF POWER is really good. I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone. I've already pre-ordered the second book-- at least I can reconcile myself for having to wait SO LONG for the last of the Beyond the Four Kingdoms series by this same author... As usual, her book is very clean. Some minor violence and romance, but it is astoundingly clean in comparison to most young adult fantasy. Of course, magic is used in this book, but I personally had no problem with it. I applaud Melanie Cellier for creating another riveting fantasy world and a wonderful story! 4.5 stars.
Elena is one of the Commonborn. The Commonborn aren't allowed to learn to read or write, because power comes through the written word, and it's thought that those of common birth wouldn't be able to control the power if it's unleashed. Elena is different. Without being sure how it happened, Elena spoke and power - controlled power - flowed out from her. She is immediately taken from her family to the Academy, where mages are taught to use and control their power. There are those in the kingdom who aren't happy that Elena is at the Academy, or even alive.Elena has to fight to prove she deserves to be at the Academy, and even for her very life!
The concept is intriguing: in a world where written words are power, a young commoner finds that while she cannot control the power of her writing, her spoken words can sometimes have power similar to the written words of other mages. Unfortunately, the writing and world building doesn't live up to the concept especially in the first half of the book. The main character is all to aware of how writing and reading makes a difference, and all to aware of the implications of a literate society, even though she has been forbidden to learn to read. Her observations are too spot on; too much of the author, living in our modern literate society, leaks through. Naturally she would be somewhat aware of the disadvantages the commoners face, but she's too aware of how it would work if she could read and write. It's not just that she knows the mages are able to do better in business because they can read and write, but she understands exactly what advantages their records give them. Also, somehow pictograms and symbols on maps (as well as pictures) are OK, even though words are not. Where's the boundary around what is a word? It seems like that could be exploited for a lot of business records and even simple messages. Suspending disbelief was hard because of this sloppy implementation of the concept.Yet the second half of tdhe book held together, and I think that I will enjoy the rest of the series.
