Magic to the Bone by Annie Bellet
3.0
Finally, I have arrived! Not only because I've been re-reading the whole series now when I got my hands on this book, but also because it's been such a long wait. It's been frustrating seeing the book around on Kindle and such, but not on Audible, I'll admit, but oh well. Here we are!
So, what did I finally think of the book?
Well, it was a lot like the two previous books. Not really with any other plot than beating Samir, and Jade running around doing a lot of damage-control.
These last three books have not been my favorites, I'm sorry to say, because I really do love this world and the characters, but yeah.
Story wise, I had some trouble getting into this book, to be honest. The start was really slow for me - with Jade's training and such. I wish we'd skipped that all together, actually. When she returned, however, things got easier. The flow from the earlier books was mostly back, and it was easy to listen for an hour straight.
Seeing as there's been so much build up to this ending, I was rather disappointed. Sure, these things can drag out, but with this much build up, it was so short and surprisingly boring.
So, yeah. Where does that leave me?
I am, all in all, really glad I read the series. It was interesting and fun, most of the time, and if nothing else, seeing gamers like Jade and her friends, so much like me and my own friends, was a lot of fun!
I am curious as to how someone becomes a profesionall-gamer, though. I'd love to do that for a living!
