Trickster’s Hunt (Three Tricksters Book 1) by Carrie Whitethorne – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Trickster’s Hunt by Carrie Whitethorne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trickster’s Hunt is the first book in Carrie Whitethorne’s Three Tricksters series. It is an urban fantasy, which draws on Egyptian mythology.
Maia is a loveable and relatable main character. Earning her living as an eating competition contestant, Maia is always eating and on the lookout for food. I particularly like how the genies end up regularly providing her with meals and snacks!
There are parts of the book where there is plenty of action, and others that are more drawn out dialogue as the characters explain and discuss what is going on. Occasionally, the same scene is told twice from different perspectives, which was interesting once I’d gotten over the initial confusion!
It was nice reading something set in the UK – some of the scenes where Maia was out and about in London felt particularly vivid and familiar!
I was reading more for the fantasy than the romance, but it’s interesting how the romance was tied up in the magical side of things.
For me, this is a four-star book. I’d recommend it to fans of urban fantasy – the Egyptian influences add a bit of interest and it would particularly appeal if you like genies! Also, there’s plenty of food which gets a lot of attention. I have to say, I spent most of the time I was reading this snacking!
