The Discovery of Magic (The Intrigue of Magic Series) by L. J. Evias – Review by Helen Dawkins
The Discovery of Magic by L. J. Evias
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Discovery of Magic by L.J. Evias is such a wonderful Teen/YA Adult to start of the book series “The Intrigue of Magic”. The book begins a bit slow for me personally, but I do think that a teen would be more appreciative of the beginning as it shows a lot of the mind of a teenager and them just going through each day. Alice and her friends one day are having a picnic when they stumble upon a portal in a cave, which takes them to a different world named Parsas. The book mainly follows the friends as they are trying to figure out this new world and also are trying to get back home. Alice and her friends are seperated from each other, each thrown in this new world in different locations. Each of them is quickly emerged into the war of the North and South, but Alice is thrown into the feeding frenzy of royal court and starts to be weary of her new “allies”.
The author did a wonderful job with world building and character development, my only issue is the speed of the book sometimes felt a little slow and some character interactions felt forced. But otherwise was a wonderful book, and start to a new series. I am intrigued to see where the author takes this series from here.
