Luck in the Shadows by Lynn Flewelling
3.5
Sixteen year old Alec is arrested for a crime he didn’t commit and is rescued by Seregil - a man of many names. Seregil specialises in the acquisition of goods and information, especially as rumours of a war between the north and south swirl.
Convinced to see the world (and dragons and magic) beyond his small experience, Alec becomes his apprentice.
Alec shrugged, embarrassed. "That wasn't bravery. There just wasn't anything else to do."
Micum laughed grimly. “By Sakor, then you've learned the secret of being brave. All you need is some training."
Alec is shrewd, curious, a fast learner, and, much to Seregil’s chagrin, seemed to place an alarming amount of trust in him. Never having been responsible for anyone but himself, Seregil is not quite certain what to make of it and it was fascinating to see this worry and doubt in a mentor/friend character.
Fun, full of secrets, societies, and camaraderie!
“Luck in the shadows, Alec; you don't question it, you just give thanks and pray it doesn't run out!"
Nothing too groundbreaking or exciting but not a let down!
