The Discovery of Magic (The Intrigue of Magic Series) by L. J. Evias – Review by Carrie Reed

The Discovery of Magic by L. J. Evias
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! I almost passed this up and I am certainly glad I didn’t! I got so sucked into this story that I forgot the friend group was in a whole different world that wasn’t their own. The whole time I kept wondering why they were not more frantic to find Eliot or demand answers. That would terrify me to have my younger sibling lost. This world they are thrust into, Parsa, is so fantastical, with mages and magic, and the uniting of the north and south kingdoms. It is interesting to see how each person, Alice, Emily, Jordan and Jamie are all basically spit out through a portal into different parts of the kingdom, and are treated differently and have different experiences than the others, all the while trying to figure out a way to get back each other. Yasmin seems like a wonderful royal, she is a good friend to Alice but, it seems like her uncle, The Royal Mage, has her loyalty and has brainwashed her but, something seems off about him. Prince Darien also seems to be hiding something from everyone. I am saddened by Yasmin and Darien’s loss, by the way Javed seems to be treated and frustrated that they keep begging Alice to stay in their world with them, like why would she stay? She has a whole family and life back home. I really look forward to what comes next!
