Summary
In the first installment of the A Fire Beneath the Skin trilogy, the city of Klaar has never fallen. No enemy has ever made it across the Long Bridge or penetrated the city's mighty walls. Even when a powerful invading army shows up at the gates, the duke and his daughter, Rina Veraiin, are certain that it poses little threat.
But they are cruelly betrayed from within and, in a horrific spasm of violence, the city is brought to its knees.
With the help of her bodyguard, Kork, the battle-trained young Rina narrowly escapes the slaughter and makes her way to the lair of an ancient sorcerer - the Ink Mage - who gifts her with a strange, beautiful set of magical tattoos.
Now a duchess in exile, Rina sets out on a quest to reclaim what is rightfully hers, aided by a motley assortment of followers who will help her in her cause - some for noble reasons and others for their own dark purposes.
With the enemy's agents nipping at her heels, Rina must learn to harness her new and startling magical powers if she is to assert her rightful place as ruler of Klaar.

Excellent start to a new series.
Great read. Well rounded charracter development and a good story line.
The narrator I wasn't sure about initially, bit by the end of the second chapter really enjoyed her story telling style.
Looking forward to the next in the series.
Would recommend if you like scifi/ Fantasy genre with strong female lead.

Unusual take on magic...
...and three dimensional characters, which combine to make a thoroughly absorbing story. I've downloaded the rest of the trilogy and can't wait to hear what happens next!

Fun adventure
It was a bit hard to get the magic system at first but after a while I liked it. I agree with another review I saw that the final act felt a bit rushed, but except for that I really liked the story.

good opening book
good start to a new trilogy, more detail about whole picture and less detailed sex would have been appreciated.
hopefully 2nd book will fill the gaps and expand the story line.

Good book I enjoyed it
Where does Ink Mage rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Its in the Good but not exceptional category. Not as good as say Anne Bishops Black Jewel series or the Kate Daniels books by Illona Andrews but definitely above average.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Ink Mage?
The book has an interesting idea of tattoos giving magical powers. Most of the characters are still believable though . I like the way the characters grow throughout the book, and in fact the whole series
What about Fiona Hardingham’s performance did you like?
Its just perfect, I just loved her voice and she had good timing and kept the voices of the major characters distinct it was also nice to have books read in an English accent rather than American you usually get in this Genre
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not really - some funny scenes but you did get involved with the characters
Any additional comments?
This book can be read stand alone but its the first of a trilogy so its worth continuing.
The second book is a bit disappointing as its not a complete tale but more a setup for the much better final book which is also very good.

An enjoyable experience
I thought this was to be a book for a junior reader but I was surprised. The more I read the more engrossing it became. As an elderly reader I found it worth listening to.

Lazy Writing
DNF'd in chapter 5 after the word Fat was used for I think the 4th time as a negative descriptor, the author can keep her heroine with her "impossibly full" breasts 🙄 shocking and disappointing that this was written by a woman.
