Magyk Review

Do you want or love a magical world beyond your imagination? Don't bother looking any further than Magyk by Angie Sage. This novel is similar in scope to the first few Harry Potter novels with a magical world, children learning about magic and so on. The world is breathe-taking simple to explain, but rather fun in a great middle grade style especially the different chants used for spells and the characteristic of some of the wizard characters. Now this book isn't Harry Potter, but a new series in its own right that features a kingdom with wizards and a wizard's tower along with a newly crown queen by the end of the novel who is only ten years old. The story is the basic good versus evil present in most if not all middle grade reads. However, I see like some other series that this book series will become quite mature has the characters themselves age. All in all I recommend this book and its corresponding series if you want a series to grow and evolve while you read the series. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
