Evan Burl and the Falling By Justin Blaney
This fantasy, magic story is about an orphaned boy who lives in the castle with other orphans. They try their hardest to survive but for some it's to no avail.
The master, Mazol is a mean man who punishes the children. For me this is hard to read about a child getting punished when things are not even their fault.
I really enjoyed the magic and how Evan keeps the others minds off their hunger, with his magic.
The countdown til a year has passed is kind of terrifying-to not know if he will turn evil or if he will die.
Loved hearing of all the hiding places around the castle and treasure the time they are safe.
Liked how the story takes a long time to tell you about the children's past and the layout of the castle and surrounding areas and daily life.
Some chapters are written in another view from others in the story.
Strange things occur-like the fire where he throws the book into and the next day he notices his burned shirt and pain but the book is as perfect as ever.
Then the countdown is suddenly only 3 days left before he turns into a magician...
Cevo is hunting down Evan to kill him.
Claire's father has a note from Trillium to kill the boy, Evan. She will help Evan...
Love going through the story from various angles and there is just a handful of important characters to keep track of. sequence should be a good read also.
