I recommend this to anyone who loves MAGIC! I love magic and so this was a great book. I’m also really into fantasy so the concepts and characters really added something extra to the story.
I am obsessed with Magic so the title and description grabbed my attention. This book was interesting. I loved the magical aspect of it. The concept was also brilliant but in the execution of the concept, something was lacking.
The beginning of the story was great. I also loved many of the characters. The idea that this beautiful realm also has this dark side showed that no matter how perfect, there is no true utopia. I loved Bertrand from the first moment we meet him. I think the thing that was lacking was the ‘brilliant’ factor. The plot and concept were great but slightly predictable. I loved this as an adventure story. I did not like a certain romantic relationship that develops because it added very little to the plot and to the characters it involved (no spoilers don’t worry). I got stuck at the end of the novel. Like I said the beginning was intriguing and captivating but the part of the story that involved Manila was vanilla (sorry for the bad pun). It should have been the climax but I actually enjoyed the first half of the story much more. Like I said the characters were great. I especially love the characters in the Siren’s Realm. This was a great story but I think it was lacking some gusto.
I can’t wait to read the next books in the Chronicles of Maggie Trent because I think Megan O’Russell has a great idea and the next book will be more intense now that there has been the initial introduction to the world and characters.
