Kron Evenhanded is an artificer, able to enchant any man-made object, but he finds people more difficult to work with. After many years studying at the Magic Institute, he leaves to return to his childhood home. When he visits the city of Vistichia, he encounters Sal-thaath, an extremely magical but dangerous child created by Salth, another magician Kron knew at the Magic Institute. Kron attempts to civilize Sal-thaath, but his efforts lead to tragedy. Salth, who has gained additional magic from the stars, vows revenge against Kron and his beloved Bella. Kron is forced to ally himself with a quartet of new deities and their human Avatars, including Bella. Kron must help the new Avatars defend Vistichia as Salth attempts to drain its life and magic. But Salth has Ascended halfway to godhood over Time. Will Kron’s artifacts be enough to protect the city and the Avatars, especially the woman he loves, or will Time separate them?

Sandra Ulbrich Almazan started reading at the age of three and only stops when absolutely required to. Although she hasn’t been writing quite that long, she did compose a very simple play in German during middle school. Her science fiction novella Move Over Ms. L.

She is a founding member of BroadUniverse and a long-time member of the Online Writing Workshop for Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror. Her undergraduate degree is in molecular biology/English, and she has a Master of Technical and Scientific Communication degree. Her current day job is in the laboratory of an enzyme company; she’s also been a technical writer and a part-time copyeditor for a local newspaper. Some of her other accomplishments are losing on Jeopardy! and taking a stuffed orca to three continents. She lives in the Chicago area with her husband, Eugene; and son, Alex. In her rare moments of free time, she enjoys crocheting, listening to classic rock (particularly the Beatles), and watching improv comedy.

Sandra can be found online at her website, blog, and Twitter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Magic indeed.

This is a good book, well crafted and executed. The characters are fully developed and rounded. The story flows reasonably well but I had trouble getting into it. That's unusual as I generally get involved in this type of story. This one I had trouble with and I don't know why. I Can't blame the author as she did a really good job of crafting the story and it's characters and plot. Just me I guess. But I wouldn't hesitated to recommend this book. Good read.

This is the first book in The Season Avatars Series. In this book we meet Kron and Bella. Kron is an artificier. This means that he can enchant any man made object. Once he is done training he returns home and travels to another city where he meets Sal-thaath who is a child that is extremely magical and dangerous and was created by his ex- schoolmate, Salth. He tries to save the child but the worst happens and as a result Salth wants revenge from Kron and Bella. In order to stop Salth a group of Deities, their human Avatars (Della), and Kron have to band together. Will they be strong enough to basically fight a man who is halfway to being as strong as a God? Can Kron and his artifacts save them? Will he keep or lose the city and the woman he loves?

You immediately find yourself on Kron's side when you read this book. It did jump around a bit so that threw me off but all in all I did enjoy it. There were large gaps in the story that was a little bit confusing. If you like fantasy this is a good book. Off to read book 2 :D I would have rated it a little bit higher but the gaps and the time jumps kinda threw me off.

I read book 2, and just had to find book 1. I was not disappointed. The story keeps rolling along, on its own quests at the same time explaining the origins of the characters flaws and all. Ordinary people with an extension of their own natures, protect the known lands.Loved it need book 3 now.
