I did not want to put it down. I am so happy to have found this. I have had a few books that have not lived up to my expectations recently so this is particularly appreciated.I don't usually enjoy romance books but the romance in this was not overwhelming or overdone. I however, could still do without it. I find it embarrassing because I feel voyeuristic. I was very excited by the world building and the story itself. I encountered Jessica Thorne with The Bookbinder's Daughter. I enjoyed her writing very much and decided to delve into her other books. I am glad I came across this. Nightborn is already in my Kindle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good book, but with the potential to be a great one *by R***R on June 2, 2021* Mageborn is a perfect example of how new life can be breathed into old cliches. There's nothing unusual about this book in terms of its themes, plot or characters - orphan girl searching for her past and her purpose, handsome and brooding prince with untold power, societal class feud between those with magic and those without, and the magic system itself, where users can control one element or aspect such as fire, water or music.🪞Yet it still felt fresh and exciting, a cleverness that came not from original ideas but how they were woven together. Tension and loss and hope and discovery - the world was rich and the characters inspiring. It was a truly phenomenal first half or so, and I was ready to give it five stars.🪞Unfortunately it only gets four, because of this little thing called 'romance'. And yeah, sue me, but it makes me grumpy when it doesn't feel natural to either the characters or the plot, and this was one of those. This exciting tale of political scandal, magical exploitation, the almost-rape of a royal prince, chases through tunnels and streets and...oh yeah, lots of gazing into each other's eyes adoringly. Heartfelt declarations. Descriptions of how the other completes them. Meaningless sacrifices and boring paragraphs when to me, the romance should have been only secondary to the action. It deflated the tension and undermined the climax, and I felt a little let down after such a great build up.🪞There were also a few moments where things were either over-explained to death, or entirely under-explained/inconsistent. It was as if huge chunks of text had been edited out after reading, and sometimes I struggled to understand things that may be presumed obvious by the writer, while others were coloured as 'revelations' when I could have sworn we'd found out about them several chapters earlier.🪞A good book, but with the potential to be a great one. But the author's writing style and imagination may be enough to entice me back for the sequel... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Read *by A***Y on May 10, 2022* I really enjoyed this book. Grace works in the academy hunting done bad mageborns. She has her own secrets she is keeping. Grace and her team are sent to the palace. Grace is tasked with protecting the Lord of Thorns. Bastien is the prince of the mageborn. He helps them when he can. Someone is out to kill him. Grace and her team must find out what is happening to all the mageborn who end up dead. Something happens and Bastien and Grace and team must leave. This book has lots of twist and turns and plot twists. When Bastien gets his memory back. You find out who certain people really are. Things you don’t see coming until the end. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/326431829-mageborn-an-absolutely-gripping-fantasy-novel-the-hollow-king-paperback](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/326431829-mageborn-an-absolutely-gripping-fantasy-novel-the-hollow-king-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
