It all
started when he walked in a bookshop he hadn’t seen before and asked the owner
if they had any books on magic. Not
fiction, he wants the real thing. His
father told him magic was real right before he disappeared. His mother tells him his father is dead but
he still believes the magic is real…
Book Publicity Services shared a copy of this book with me for review (thank you). It will be published February 2nd.
This is a
wonderful fantasy tale well-told by the author.
The character development is good, the friendships Thomas has are
heart-warming and the magic is unpredictable.
After all, if you didn’t know you had any, how could you practice?
What he
finds in the shop is a “real” magic book.
The owner tells him to take it home and read it and then bring it back
as soon as he’s done. Tell no one and
keep it hidden. He does that but he finds
the contents of the book confusing and he starts meeting up with people who are
unfriendly to him. He soon learns they
are after the book.
When he
finishes the book, they tell him of his destiny and that he has mighty
powers. He’s not sure about that but
when they give him his first training assignment and lock him in a room, he has
to perform to get out. He can’t quite
figure it out but he’s getting hungry.
Will he manage to do what he needs to?
He does and he finds that the training moves faster once he’s won the
first battle to open his mind.
With
magical acts all through the story and the fight between good and evil, it’s an
exciting tale that reads fast. It’s also
the first book in the series so Thomas will be back.
I really enjoyed reading this tale and hope to read more about Thomas.
