Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder
3.5

3,75 :D

Characters:
Avry, 20 years old, her magic power is healing, she is the last healer who survived, very soft-hearted and selfless,
Kerrick, forest mage, cruel, abusive behavior against Avry
Tohon, dictator-like character with the magic of life

Themes: family, new friendships, disease that killed a big part of population, blame, magic, selfless naive heroine, antihero type love interest,

Cover: Woman who holds a white flower, her face is seen from the side and she wears a bracelet; in the background are more flowers (lilies?) and a castle

Author: Never read before, want to read "Poison Study"

Sequels: #2 Scent of Magic, #3 Taste of Darkness

Setting: some kind of kingdom with fifteen realms, that are divided between 3 rulers

POV: 1st person --> Avry

Liked: plot in general, characters (most of them at least), world
Did not like: I just knew the whole time that Kerrick did not know about the danger/ death of Avry after healing the Prince and just thought "tell him that already" JUST TELL HIM oh dear
I had some issues but I really enjoyed it nevertheless and well that's that :D
