A review by asifr007
Taken by Benedict Jacka
5.0
I just could not help but giving this wonderful piece of work by Benedict Jacka a praiseworthy review right after the moment I finished it. Actually, to call it a review would be a mistake as I do not want to spoil all the fun for everyone else. I like this one better than the previous two because it gets a whole lot of emotional for individual character, not just Alex Verus. The story develops quite brilliantly throughout its progression. Alex Verus is just as deadly as ever using divination as the primary weapon in his arsenal. However, I still cannot get over the fact that he losses his elemental focus to call open Starbreeze in the second novel of the series, as I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations taking place between both Alex and his elemental partner however brief those are.
Time to talk about my expectation from this series. The main thing I wish for Alex is to evolve a little in terms of his magical prowess. In my humble opinion, I believe it would not hurt to have a new element of surprise under his command as relying on divination alone makes the whole battle experience monotonous. So, I would really appreciate it if the talented author could manage to take it under his consideration. This is because whatever fights Alex engages himself in, he tends to rely considerably on his accomplices present at that time with him for a favorable outcome. Do not get me wrong, I really like Alex Verus as the main character but if he fails to make an advancement in his abilities then the whole point of facing the difficulties might get worthless after a while. With my limited understanding, I think a hero should not only face challenges but also get stronger by conquering them.
Overall, this book deserves a 5 star rating for just being perfect!
