Skin Hunger

Skin Hunger

Besides the title being Skin Hunger, which honestly I don't get, this book is not as creepy as one might fear. It's called the Resurrection of Magic series, and actually, it's quite brilliant. 


The story starts off in the third person point of view of Micah, who is a young boy at the time. The story talks about the birth of his sister and how he is running to find a wizard/witch to help his mother during the process. Well everything goes horribly wrong, but Sadima, the new babe, is still alive. The story then switches to the first person voice of Hahp. He is chosen to attend a school of wizarding, a horrible place where few who attend actually survive. 


The whole book reminds me somewhat of the feeling I got when I read Eragon. It's long, and there are parts that don't need to be there, but I still enjoy them. Each part is exciting and sometimes you can't wait for the next part while you're reading a dull part of the other. The character are great too. Well thought out, and you hate and love them at the same time. The one thing I didn't like was that the end of the book was the same as the ending of the chapters. The second book, Sacred Scars, might as well just been thrown in and the book could be extremely long. However, I really did enjoy it, so 4 pearls for Skin Hunger. (I still don't get the name!)


Keep on Reading
