Considering that I read the 3rd book of the series as the first going back and reading the 1st was worth it. The Mithermages series is a perfect mix of magic and the world we live in today. Orson Scott Card keeps the reader engaged throughout the novel and it’s interesting to see the different points of view of Danny and Wad as they both navigate their gatemagery. I do have a little bit of background since I read the 3rd book first, BUT I will say that it didn’t take away from my experience of the 1st book in the series. 100% recommend if you enjoy magical stories grounded in reality.
