The Discovery of Magic (The Intrigue of Magic Series) by L. J. Evias – Review by Shannen Kern

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

This was the first book I had picked up by this author, and it was a magically pleasant surprise! It’s an exhilarating dive into a world brimming with enchantment and intrigue. My favorite character throughout the story is Alice, an archer with a fierce desire for autonomy. The pacing of the narrative is commendable! It’s fast-paced yet allows for moments of reflection that deepen Alice’s character. It picks up as Alice and her friends cross into an ancient realm full of magic and danger. The author excels at world-building, painting vivid imagery that pulls you into the experience. Every character is well-developed, each with their own motivations and secrets that add depth to the narrative. The author’s knack for expertly crafting relatable dialogue and moments of levity balances the darker elements of the plot.

This is a marvelously promising start to The Intrigue of Magic series! It captivates with its blend of relatable characters, powerful enchantments, and relentless action. Fans of YA Fantasy will undoubtedly find themselves swept away in Alice’s adventure and eagerly awaiting the next installment. If you’re ready for a journey filled with mystery and magic, this book is a must-read!
