Summary

Imagine a horse-powered world where magic is used for mending, making, and healing.

Magical ability is rare, but Ky Vaux—a poor boy in a poor family—discovers he’s a mender one morning when he breaks a bowl and accidentally mends it.

Can Ky’s gift of magic support Ky, his mother, and his sister while they attempt to escape from his abusive and alcoholic father?

When Ky’s gift proves to be even more powerful than they had hoped, they can’t help but wonder if it’ll be able to take them farther than they had dreamed!

The book is a good storyline and the talent is excellent. I will be waiting for the next one with hope.

Love it

This is a lot better than I expected, mainly due to MC being very mature despite his age, and learning to do new things with his magic is very interesting, and that seem to be the main theme of the book.
The problem is the book's length. 10 hours is the cut-off point for a lot of people and I normally wouldn't have spent a credit for a book this short. The only exception is if the book's pacing is very fast, which this book is not (MC just barely started his journely), Since this this is currently free in plus, I can't really complain, but I'm on the fence about spending money future sequels.

Edit: just noticed the sequel is also free :)
