The Human Familiar by Honor Raconteur
4.0
Well, there was never a dull moment! :D
I seriously am having a lot of fun reading Honor Raconteur's books, so far, it's only my second serie after all but I'm having the same kind of feeling reading this than I had when I read [b:Magic and the Shinigami Detective|39890034|Magic and the Shinigami Detective (The Case Files of Henri Davenforth, #1)|Honor Raconteur|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1524087680l/39890034._SY75_.jpg|61712317]. Really, I can't put it down and my cheeks almost hurt from smiling at the sweet, sweet banter between the 2 MCs.
Renata has to summon a familiar in order to become an official mage (it's one of many "tests" she has to go through), but her magic is a quirky little thing that knows better than her what she needs and here pops up Bannen, a human. So, yes, the issue here is that familiar are usually animals or even sentient objects but never humans and there are laws against it, the most important I think is that the "familiar" bond can be compared to slavery, so not really so good.
So plenty of things happened, like I said never a dull moment. The world-building is a little shaky, I could have used more informations here but it didn't bother too much in the end, the most important here are Bannen and Renata and they are so great and so cute!!!
So, I don't want to spoil to much for anyone who would read this, so I'm gonna stop here but I love them soooo much and I think I'm gonna read this whole serie really fast!
And now I'm onto book 2, [b:The Void Mage|36648483|The Void Mage (The Familiar and Mage #2)|Honor Raconteur|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1511455411l/36648483._SX50_.jpg|58420112]! :)
