Tales of Mu is the story about Mackenzie Blaise and her experiences as a freshman at Magesterius University.

The school is attended by a diversity of races: half-ogres, satyrs, fauns, humans, and elves just to name a few.  The college is a layered tapestry of individuals, none of whom who are particularly two dimensional or cliche (which is rather refreshing).

The story is highly character driven, which is what first drew me to it.  AE’s style of writing is good and engaging, often times leaving me wanting more. 

So why don’t I give this five stars?  Mostly personal reasons. 

The pacing of the plot is slow—a year of writing has passed, but only a month of story time—which causes some "recycling" I think in both plot and character developement. 

But other than those few caveats, I find that Tales of MU is an engaging novel, and well worth the read.
