A review by marawii
Age of Magic by Lynn Larsh, Elise Kova
4.0
First of all, I’d like to thank Elise Kova and Lynn Larsh for creating a fantastical world filled with amazing characters. I’d also like to thank them for kindly providing me with an eARC after I missed out on the application. They really made me happy!
Note: this book is part of a series. So if you haven’t read the three books before, I suggest you catch up before reading this review. Warning: The next part will contain spoilers for the first three books.
The concluding book to the wish quartet series starts off right where Birth Of Chaos left off. After the destruction of the society, the society members are thrust back into the real world. However, there is one catch which is the world timelines have merged into a new age of magic that includes both magic and technological advancements from the previous world.
There were a few things that bothered me throughout the book which is why I gave it a 3.75 star review. First of all, I noticed a lot of parts that need to be edited. I hope these get fixed before the book comes out. I was also bothered by certain characters such as:
- Samson getting on my nerves at the beginning, and then it was Eslar who got on my nerves. - Jo acting rashly at the beginning of the book (but I could see some developments happening near the end). - A new romance being introduced in the final book, which was a bit distracting from the original plot line. However, I kind of suspect it being the main focus for the next series set in this world. - The fact that most of the book was spent planning, and the only real action we saw was at the final few chapters.
However, I did love many aspects about the book which was mainly the friendship aspects (especially between Jo, Wayne and Takako). I did love the epilogue especially! I will be disappointed if what was hinted at in the epilogue about Snow is not included in the next series. Also, the romance between Jo and Snow Just melts your heart. However, I do have to say that there are a few mature scenes so I recommend this book to those who are older than 18 as it’s a new adult series.
Also, if the spinoff series isn’t about my favorite character Wayne then I’ll be deeply disappointed. From my point of view, I think that the final book was really good. I kind of wish it had the same pace of action as the previous three books which usually kept me up all night trying to read them. All in all, I enjoyed reading this series, some characters will always be a favorite of mine.
One final thought: I do have to say that we can all agree that Pan is crazy (that dinner scene was twisted)!
