A Tale of Magic...

My daughter is 11 and loves reading. She really enjoyed the Land of Stories series and says this is is just as good and maybe even better

Highly recommended for teens. That said I took a chance and got this for my 7 year old daughter. I feared the wording and the terminology might be too complicated for her to appreciate. Needless to say, she was hooked after chapter one and so was I as we read it together. Brystal Evergreen is a great heroine who shows true grit throughout. It's fair to state that the story is hardly original and comparisons with Harry Potter and the like are inevitable. But 'A Tale of Magic' is unique in it's own right as it feels like a brilliant hybrid of the Harry Potter verse and the Jane Austen world (in particular Pride and Prejudice). The chapters may be slightly too long, but this is a minor quibble. The story keeps you so engrossed you fly through the pages. All of which lead you to a brilliant conclusion and totally leave you wanting more. Long may this franchise continue 👌

A beautifully written book that I couldn’t put down. A wonderful way to approach and open a discussion with children about prejudice in many forms. Very cleverly written, wonderful characters, excellent world building. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and this is the first book that has come close to filling the void since HP ended. I haven’t read The Land of Stories (have ordered and they’re on their way) but didn’t feel lost at any point, this series is a stand-alone. My friend recommended this book and I loved the cover (I know never judge a book by its cover but it is beautiful!) so thought I’d give it a go, am so glad I did!

Daughter loves the land of stories series and very excited to read spin off. Complex world building that challenges conventional thinking. Tackles topics with wit and compassion you wouldn’t necessarily expect to find in a children’s series. This is a prequel to the main series and didn’t disappoint - also fun to stumble across characters we have already met.

This book captures your heart and is so lovely.Its exciting and full of magic and drama and has lots of wise words .Plus the book has beautiful artwork

This book is very interesting, filled with lots of adventure and magic. I love it 🥰 👍🏻📖
