Book 1 of 4: Wish Quartet

See all formats and editions

With a few taps of the keyboard, I can hack into anything, make a wad of cash, and call it a day. That’s all this job was supposed to be. But, life has a way of throwing me curveballs.

One government raid on my base of operations later and I’m using ancient magic to summon impossibly hot men to save my best friend. Didn’t see that coming.

But every wish has its cost… So here I am, the newest tech-savvy recruit in the Society of Wishes, where magic is the norm and devastatingly handsome leaders, like Mr. Tall, Pale, and Brooding—Snow—are part of the deal. There’s no getting out of this bind. But I suppose there are worse people to be stuck with…

My money problems might be gone but my magic problems are just starting. One wrong move, and I might end up unraveling the very fabric of the world.

For fans of magic, alternate realities, steamy soulmates, forgotten gods, and slow-burn twisty surprises... prepare to be kept guessing about the Society of Wishes right up until the very end.

Not your average hero's journey

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018

I actually finished this book a week ago, but I needed to fully digest it before I wrote a review. I am a fan of Elise Kova's works so I thought I had a good idea of what to expect with this book. I was wrong and I don't think the fact that it was co-authored is why.
This book is different. I've come to expect certain things in the stories I read. About halfway through I realised I wasn't going to be seeing those things, and I realised I was totally ok with that. This book is about a journey. It's not the traditional call to adventure go off and find your destiny journey. The heroine does seek to prove herself, but there is no looming "bad guy" and the obstacles are not necessarily a question of skill, but of discovery. Jo knows who she is, she just doesn't know how that person fits into the new world she's found herself in.
The urban fantasy elements are handled well, avoiding long dumps of exposition which can be difficult when dealing with the type of world that is being built.
There were a few times I grew frustrated with Jo's choices and actions, and found myself arguing at the pages like one would yell at the tv. Anything that elicits that sort of investment is certainly worth five stars in my book.
I, for one, am looking forward to more.

An interesting new world

Rating: 4 Stars

The age old saying is be careful what you wish for. Well Josephina 'Jo' is a hacker-for-hire in a very different reality than we know, a fractured US. Then one day on a job her best friend and her are caught and as bullets rain down she uses her last breathe to make a wish, something she remembered from her grandmother in days past. Her wish is simple enough to save her friend and she will accept the price no matter the cost. The cost, she is now a member of the mysterious Society of Wishes set to live among the other members in a separate time space and use her gifts to help grant future wishes. Though she is given the plush new digs and can do pretty much anything her new home lacks one major aspect…freedom and purpose. Checking in on her friend to ensure her wish was put to good use she finds him about to attempt the same task that got them both killed to start with. Now what do you do when interfering is against the rules?

This was a quick read for sure and I did really enjoy the concept. A magical society that grants wishes that alter the reality. I loved the idea of them being from all different worlds and time periods and each with their own power. The way they live is rather unique and we are only just getting to know a few of them as Jo learns her place and tries to accept her new reality. This book is more about her than anything else. There isn’t some big bad guy / evil to face down just a new reality to accept that basically tears apart everything you knew in the world.

We are still getting to know this world but this was a good start. I can see the start of some much bigger questions and I look forward to watching unfold. The characters have peeked my interest and I look forward to learning more about the other members of the society and the society as a whole. Thankfully the sequel, Circle of Ashes, comes out next week April 9th so I won’t have to wait long.

An interesting spin on wishes and time magic

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

So, I started reading Society of Wishes along with the Official Facebook Read Along. I accidentally read ahead to the point where I was so close to the end I figured I might as well finish it. So, while the read along is still going strong, I’m here writing out my review. That should at least tell you something about how this is going to go.

The characters are quite mysterious and it’s hard to feel like I know them much. Aside from Jo, they weren’t overly three-dimensional, but I do feel like we have at least bits and pieces of the characters enough to at least start seeing them as people. Also, I can not speak to the authenticity of Jo’s Mexican American representation because I am not Mexican American, but she felt very white-coded to me. At the moment though I feel mostly like we have bits and pieces without that extra something that pulls it all together. Given what I have already seen from Elise Kova’s work, I have to assume this will come later.

Society of Wishes is set in a futuristic United States that are no longer United following a third World War. This was built up fairly well, but the majority of the story takes place in the Society, which is built up very well. As a location, it was relatively easy to immerse myself into, but also the hierarchy and expectations of the characters were very clear and easy to visualize. The world building was a strong point in this novel for me.

While I did really enjoy the semi-immersive quality of the world building, Society of Wishes is a very plot-driven book. And drive it does! The story flows very well from one bit of excitement to the next, which is what led to my accidental finishing of the book in two days instead of thirty-six days. It was very easy to get caught up and keep reading from beginning to end.

That is one thing I need to talk about though. The end. It just… kind of… stopped? Like… I hate cliffhangers. This much has been established repeatedly in my reviews and blog posts. But this… wasn’t even a cliffhanger? The story was building up to another bit of excitement and then… Nothing. Needless to say the ending of this book was not a win for me.

I really did enjoy the story while I was reading it and I’m curious to see more about the Society and its members so I’ll definitely be continuing with the series. I did not like the way the book just kind of stopped, but I am invested in the plot so I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in the series. Hopefully, the ending to that one will be a little easier to sit with.

Ugh, this review hurts my soul

Reviewed in Canada on May 11, 2018

It hurts my soul to write this as I am a massive Elise Kova fan but this book was so boring and honestly made no sense. The typos in my print copy aside...nothing is explained. There's no character development. The magic was incredibly underwhelming. The writing was straight up awkward in several large chunks. I had to keep rereading whole pages to understand what was happening. I won't continue this series but I'll keep an eye out for her next stuff.

Fascinating, Intriguing !

If you are already a fan of Elise Kova, you will love this delicious new book she has written with Lynn Larsh. And if not you soon will be!
An interesting concept regarding the granting and making of Wishes were woven into a magical intriguing story . This is the first of the series , so the book is busy with becoming acquainted with all the characters and i cannot want to see what develops between Jo and Snow!
