The Novice by Taran Matharu
4.0
Just picked up this book on a whim because it was on the Barnes & Noble buy one get one 50% off and there was a book there a really wanted and didn’t want to waste a discount.
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this book. It is a really, really fun read. It obviously has it flaws. It isn’t a vast, epic tale that throws you around in every direction. It’s a fairly simplistic, linear plot that doesn’t take too many chances. However, I loved the “power system” of magic/demons, the characters were lovable and relatable, and I thought the dialogue between the characters was well written.
Overall, what you see is what you get with this book. It won’t blow you away but the story kind of sneaks up on you and I found myself just flying through the pages, smiling and giggling as I went along.
Definitely recommend to any fans of Pokémon (yes, Pokémon), Assassin’s Apprentice, and Harry Potter.
4/5 ⭐️
