Review: The Fever King

The Fever King by Victoria Lee
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Noam Alvaro has survived a viral magic attack and is now a technopath. He can control technology with his mind and the minister of defense would like to use this skill for his own gains. Noam knows what it is like to have no rights, especially since he is the son of undocumented immigrants, and he decides to accept the minister’s offer. He needs to learn about science to control his magic, but he doesn’t want to help the government … he wants to use it against the government. He can’t think of a way for his plan to go wrong until he falls for the minister’s son and he must decide between his ideals and his heart.

The Fever King is the first book in the Feverwake series. I really wanted to enjoy this new author with an interesting story premise, but the characters never really grabbed my attention. Lee did a wonderful job with world building, but she should have spent a little more time making a cohesive storyline. I will read the next book when it is released and I hope that it will show the promise that this book lacked.
