The Jealousy of Jalice is a harrowing journey of old friends that have grown apart who set themselves upon a mission to save their land and their people from a possessed and power-mad sorcerer king - only one of them has to be kidnapped by the others against her will to make that happen. The story is set in an interesting and rather fresh world, and I found that, and Nolan's development of the various cultures, to be my favorite elements of the book. The book is well-written and well paced, cast with deeply emotional and driven characters, and is altogether an enjoyable read. Check it out, you just might love it.

First up for review - The Jealousy of Jalice by Jesse Nolan Bailey...
