This is my post during the blog tour for Charm Wars by Dan Lutts. In a world where women
rule, commoner Rill Larkin desperately wants to become a mage, but noblesse Alyse Dejune
wants to have nothing to do with magic even though she's expected to become a mage on
Name Day.
This blog tour is organized by Lola's Blog Tours and the tour runs from 17 October till 6
November. You can see the tour schedule here: http://www.lolasblogtours.net/blog-tour-

Charm Wars (Charm Wars #1)
By Dan Lutts
Genre: Fantasy
Age category: Young Adult
Release Date: 2 September 2021
Blurb:
Welcome to Caldon, a land of mages and magic, where the noblesse possess massive political
and magical power and destroy anyone who threatens the noblesse way of life—especially the
commoners.
Rill Larkin, the son of a commoner blacksmith, has high ambitions. To be a mage, join the
exalted ranks of the ruling noblesse, and establish his own noblesse family. Defying both the
system and his family, Rill becomes the apprentice of Deuth Estati, a powerful archmage. But
appearances deceive. As training progresses, Rill learns of decades-long secrets and
manipulations that threaten his dream. And Deuth might not be as benevolent as Rill thought.
Alyse Dejune despises magic, even if she does belong to one of the oldest and most powerful
noblesse families in Caldon. The deceits and treacheries of noblesse life and the loveless
marriage alliances among the noblesse families disgust her. Her family however has high
expectations: that she fulfill her role as a noblesse girl by marrying Troy Estati, an arrogant,
selfish noblesse boy she does not love. And Alyse harbors a secret—the potential to become
one of the most powerful mages in generations and wield forbidden magic—that, if revealed,
could mean her death.
In this deadly game of ever-shifting alliances, where the state wages perpetual war against an
ancient enemy, Rill and Alyse are thrown together in a land where magic is failing. And as
greedy noblesse families raid surrounding family compounds for powerful charms, Rill and
Alyse are left standing at a terrible crossroads.

I don't read alot of fantasy but the description of this book had me requesting a review copy. The world building and Character introductions were kind of interesting but after all of that is taken care of the story moves right along. The two main characters are two teenagers named Alyse and Rill. The women in this book are thw leadersd so it was a bit different than what I was use to. There is alot of intrigue in this book and you will want to read the next book because there is a sneak peak in this book and it ends on a cliffhanger. I definately will picking up the second book. Very good book and story.
I received a review copy of this book from Lola book tours and was not required to write a positive review.
