Review: Spellstone by Ross Montgomery

I will never be too old to shun the need to escape into a unique magical adventure and having loved a few other recent releases from Ross Montgomery, I was really excited to get to Spellstone.

No one ever really notices Evie and it’s only when she meets a magican named Wainwright that she realises that this could be useful. Soon, Evie finds herself caught up in an ancient battle of good and evil alongside a magical society that are determined to protect the world from danger. But Evie doesn’t know what her own powers are, so how can she possibly be any use?

I think that a lot of young readers who feel invisible will find great strength in Evie and her story. Evie is chosen specifically because she doesn’t stand out. There is nothing special about her, making her a Chosen One with a difference. I think that children’s authors have historically tried to make their heroes appear to be normal kids but they actually do usually have something unique about them (absent parents/intelligence/some kind of quirk or talent). Evie honestly is a regular girl and that speaks to every regular kid out there.

No magical story is complete without a mysterious, observant cat and Lady Alinora plays that role perfectly. She was certainly my favourite character and I was completely bewitched by her sulky, unimpressed manner. I loved learning more about her power and would love to know more of her history in subsequent instalments.

The magicians in the Order of the Stone form a really lovely, found family and I knew that Evie would be safe and happy with them. Onslow is the homey, domestic god who makes sure everyone is comfortable and well-fed. Campbell is the no-nonsense voice of wisdom and maternal energy. Rish is the anxious, thoughtful, loyal young boy and Lady Alinora brings sass and sarcasm. I adored spending time with them and wanted to be on their team.

I really appreciated the amount of back story we got about the Spellstone. It becomes so central to the plot and the stakes wouldn’t have felt as high, if we didn’t know exactly what it was. While an object containing an immense amount of dark magic isn’t exactly original, it’s a concept that is easy to grasp and doesn’t over-complicate things unnecessarily.

The villain, Vale, is a complex character and I really enjoyed that. He is corrupted but he’s not inherently evil and I loved that Montgomery gave us that nuance. He’s power hungry and we see the dangers of that while also appreciating that he isn’t too far away from redemption. This is my favourite kind of villain, particularly in children’s books, because they’re a reminder that perhaps we’re all just one or two bad decisions away from vilification and that putting kindness above everything can prevent it.

Spellstone has the potential to be the start of an exciting new, middle-grade fantasy series and I can’t wait to check in with the Order of the Stone gang again. It addresses some home truths about our world and celebrates the unique importance of every individual human. Full of magic, wisdom and adventure, Spellstone is a must-read for pre-teen fantasy lovers.

Spellstone by Ross Montgomery will be published by Walker Books on 4th May 2023.

masterlists | guidelines

“When do you think you’ll get out of work?” Y/N asks, leaning against her girlfriend’s unofficial work desk. She wasn’t at her own office today, deciding to spend the day at Station 19.

Natasha glances at the clock, them turn to look at her girlfriend with an apologetic look on her face. “Late.” Y/N sigh, throwing her head back. Laye hours weren’t unusual for her, she works at Grey Sloan Memorial after all, but the Firs Chief’s duties seem to be never ending. “I’m really sorry, love.”

“It’s okay. This is your job and your job is important and you’re amazing.”

With a chuckle, Natasha stands up to kiss Y/N. Her hands are wrapped around her lower back, while Y/N’s are on her shoulders. She pushes her against the table. Unfortunately for Y/N, Natasha pulls away before things go any further, which makes her whine.

Giving her one last kiss, Natasha goes back to the desk full of paper work. “Go home, wat something and take a nap. I’ll be there before you know it.”

“Okay.” Y/N agrees, though she doesn’t hide her pout. “Love you, see you later.”

“I love you,” is the last thing Y/N hears before closing the door to the office.

Sighing, she starts descending the stairs, hoping not to run into any of the other firefighters, as none of them are aware of her and Natasha’s relationship. However, luck isn’t on her side today.

“Y/N!” Travis, her brother, runs up to her with Victoria. “What are you doing here?” He looks over the scrubs she’s wearing. “Did something happen?”

“Nothing happened.” She rolls her eyes, stopping in front of the best friends.

“Then why are you here?”

“To see Natasha.”

Travis scrunches his brows while Victoria raises hers. “You were with Chief Ross?” She questions, not understanding why the younger Montgomery would have any business with the fire department’s chief.

“I was.”

“Why?”

“Because we’re in a relationship.”

The lobby turns eerily quiet. Victoria’s eyes are wide as she takes in the sentence. Travis looks like he has frozen on his spot. Neither of them expected to hear that coming out of her mouth. Y/N stares at them expectantly, waiting for either of them to say anything. She doesn’t really care what anyone thinks about her, but this silence was starting to make her uncomfortable.

“You-“ Travis points at her, as if that’d make him articulate better, “you are dating out boss?”

“Yes.”

He doesn’t understand how the word comes out of her mouth so easily. Yes. Like it’s the simplest thing in the world. “Why in the world didn’t you think to tell me, that you are dating my boss?” His voice turns high pitched.

“You never asked.”

“I never-!” He takes a moment to compose himself, rubbing his face. He glances at Victoria, who is quietly laughing to herself. “This isn’t funny!”

She raises her hands in mock surrender, but there’s still a grin on her lips. “I’m sorry, but I think this is amazing. Go baby Montgomery.” She high fives her, making Travis groan.

As Victoria clearly doesn’t see the issue with this, Travis decides to handle it himself. Which is why he starts jogging towards Chief Ross’ office. “Travis!” Y/N shouts, running after him. “Don’t you dare do anything stupid and dramatic, or I’ll strangle you!”

But, Travis has already slammed the office door open. He stands in front of Chief Ross, who just stares at him, and opens his mouth only for nothing to come out. He clearly didn’t think this through. That is his boss after all.

By now, Y/N has caught up to him. “I’m sorry, Tasha. He is being stupid.”

“You’re dating my sister.” Is all he manages to get out.

“I am.”

“Chief, with all due respect, I think it is an inappropriate relationship.” Travis states, making Y/N hit his arm.

“Y/N isn’t part of the FD, I’m not her superior.”

“Well, she’s my younger sister.”

“Adult younger sister.” Natasha argues back, way calmer than Y/N would be capable of when it comes to her brother. “This is a consenting relationship between two adults, who are equal. So, what is the problem, Montgomery? Is it because we’re both women?”

Y/N snorts at the question, and Travis starts spluttering. “Of course not!” His hands wave around the room. “I am very proud that my sister is comfortable with her sexuality, but..but this-“ he tries to come up with anything, but he can’t.

“But this is my relationship,” Y/N steps in front of him, “and I love her and that’s the end of it.”

He sighs. It’s his sister’s relationship, he can’t do anything, no matter how uncomfortable it is to know his younger sister is dating his boss. “I know. But if you do anything to hurt her-“

Natasha interrupts him instantly, “you should remember that I am still your superior.”

“Yes, Chief.” He mumbles, gives Y/N a hug, and leaves the office.

Giggling, Y/N closes the door and goes to sit down on the desk. “That was funny, and kind of hot.” She whispers with a glint in her eyes.

Natasha shakes her head with a smile. “Now, don’t do anything or I won’t get any work done.”

“Can I at least stay here? Now that they know.”

“Of course.” She sets her hand on Y/N’s knee, the other hand signing all the needed papers.

They spend the rest of Natasha’s work day together, though mostly in silence, but it’s the good kind of silence. Where Natasha can work in peace and Y/N can admire her while she works, one of her favorite things to do.

“I don’t know if this means I’m gonna have to say goodbye to my family… but I don’t want that, I don’t want to say goodbye to you guys!”

Please don’t hate me, I truly believe we’ll #SaveStation19 and I won’t stop fighting until that day comes!! But in the meantime we have to say goodbye, so I had to do this… you know, just in case 😬🫣
