Lost by Sarah Prineas, Antonio Javier Caparo

3.0

The second novel in the Magic Thief series. Conn has somehow managed to survive without his locus magicalicus. Now he must go out there and try and find a new one so he can be a real wizard. He get’s exiled from Wellnet, his home, due to an incident with Benet, so he leaves with a good friend, Rowan, to get rid of the Shadows, these evil creatures. He finds this magic, Arhionvar and it’s used by Jaggus to create the Shadows. Conn feels it is up to him to destroy the sorcerer-king, Jaggus. The novel was exciting, and fun to read. There wasn’t a moment for pause; every page was filled with a new adventure, or a new mystery. Like in the previous novel the author gave us insights into what the other characters are thinking through end of the chapter notes, or letters. In this novel we get inside Rowan’s head and it’s very helpful for the exposition of the plot. The characters are developing throughout the series, you can see them changing and becoming essentially better people. Overall, this novel had way more action compared to the first, making it just that much better.
