![]() ![]() This one I’m not going to let go of so easily. So the magic is really neat, and I like how it progresses. The first thing they asked was what kind of magic system do you have? This book would have knocked their socks off back then and been snatched up in a bidding war. It made me think of a point back in the 90’s when fantasy was in full swing and publishers were looking for something new and fresh, they never cared about characters, setting, or conflict. In fact, I believe this is one of the cooler systems of magic that I’ve ever read about. Admittedly, once the book started flowing and the magic was shown in action it all made since, and became infinitely more simplified. ![]() It was a lot to take in, and it was a very sticky wicket to get through. ![]() There are very few of these, but I have to say that right at the beginning of the book we get hit with this huge info dump on how the magic system works, and it came off as being so complicated that I got out my slide rule, my abacus, and boned up on my physics before I continued. I have to admit though that there were some things that kind of scared me right off the back. This book was incredibly fun, well thought out, had a nice MC, and fleshed out characters. I don’t think I’ve loved a story so much right out of the gate as much as I did Advent since Dante’s Immortality. ![]()
