“At være god er et valg, Amari. Og det er et, du skal træffe igen og igen. Uanset hvor svært det bliver. Uanset hvor fristende det er at lade mørket vinde.”

I had a hard time putting the book down, I was captured by the story and wanted to know what would happend next. I liked the political elements that were added to the story. The story was full of unexpected plottwists I did not see come, and I look forward to read the next book in the series.

Brain-Dump of My Thoughts. I cannot believe that the plot line doesn't get resolved in this book, Amari lost her magic, and all the discrimination Amari was put through by Harlowe and everyone else. I'm only slightly frustrated by the cliffhanger because I can't pick up the next book in the series instantly. The reveals at the end weren't quite satisfying, but I did not see them coming (Merlin using the time-stop stone, especially Dylan winning the crown and a war inevitably starting). I was waiting on what Harlowe's supernatural ability was, and I expected it to be much more dangerous

An explosive second book that promises an even more powerful third! With the Supernatural Congress frozen in an act of apparent terrorism, Amari blamed and suspected of the attack, and the threat of the League of Magicians going to war if Amari doesn't win the Great Game, the Good Magician has her plate full. An amazing sequel where I can never predict what happens next and where I can find something to admire about every character (yes, even
Dylan and his struggle with choosing evil when he enjoys being good
). Excited for the finale!
