An awesome start. The introduction was everything that was amazing.

The writing style is very much perfect. It makes a reader dive in the book first then read and experience it again. The introduction alone captures the attention of reader. The events are told very eloquently in a point of view and it makes reading very thorough and enjoyable.

✨CHARACTERS✨

Ryan is so lovable with his magic gone wrong encounters and his interactions with others is so entertaining to read. Jeff is driven with a sense of purpose and all the characters introduced in the second chapter are very unique in their own way. The characters are very mysterious in their ways and they would reveal their intentions later. But the introduction of the villain is really the icing in the chapter. The villain sounds terrifying but not much of him is revealed and it adds more to the thrill of the book.

✨OVERALL OPINION✨

The book has a very strong start with a magic system as interesting as the story. Then the characters add to its appeal with their quirks. Each character reveals only a small bit of the mystery and it makes reading very appealing. The way magic disrupts the non magical things hints at why humans can't grasp the magical happenings around them and it will be very good to know about human and non human aspects in the book. The system is written very beautifully with many things kept in mind and it is admiration worthy. The story progresses in a definite manner and the events are very important and attention urging. It progresses very smoothly with the events lining up with many thrilling reveals.
