lindsayaries 's review for:
The Eidolon
by K.D. Edwards
I enjoyed this short novel! It takes place during the events of the THT and gives you a lot more insight into what was going on with the kids at Magnus Academy. To my memory, this was the first time we experimented with multiple narrators, and I don't know if I liked it. There's something extraordinary about how we've come to learn any inane piece of information through Rune's eyes. It's brought me close to that character. When Rune sees something, even if he does not immediately note it, that is out of the ordinary, I feel a sense of intrigue.
It was hard to feel connected to anyone in these chapters. Quinn's mind is a fractal of prophecies and Max still tries to hide his emotions even from himself in an attempt to appear and act older than he is. The most emotion I felt was from Addam at the end of the book when he speaks to Quinn. Because we know Addam through someone who loves him deeply, I felt his heart in his spoken words.
I think all of this makes sense when you consider that Rune's mind is 35 years old while these children are 13-17. The kids aren't going to feel and see things the same way, and in that regard it made this book feel catered to a younger audience. There's something kind of neat about that. Like two parallel series spanning genres.
Obviously, take this with a grain of salt because I'm clearly set to read anything K.D. Edwards writes. Not to mention, I'm mostly only surly bc I miss My Guys and I want them back. I really hope we get more Magnus Academy books because, as usual, I have a lot of questions.
