Each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to earn a place in the Alexandrian Society, the foremost secret society in the world. The chosen will secure a life of power and prestige beyond their wildest dreams.

But at what cost?

Each of the six newest recruits has their reasons for accepting the Society’s elusive invitation.

    At first I was skeptical because everyone basically said how it was a bad book and how it was disappointing, etc. I wouldn’t listen to that at all. It was an amazing book, although it was a slow burn with lots of emphasis placed on world building and developing a relationship with the characters. There was some character development and we get to see how they change over time, but what stuck out to me is the relationship between the reader and the characters. You start to feel like you’re part of the story after awhile, and get involved with possible scenarios and asking questions on which one of them you can really trust. She did a beautiful job of building the foundation for this series, so that we understand all of the inner-workings before getting into everything else. The next book is definitely going to be where a lot goes down. Overall 8.5/10.

    This book was the perfect blend of science fiction and drama and it gives Harry Potter vibes in some parts. Loved it!

    Overall the book is a good character-driven story that sets itself up with interesting main characters, an intriguing premise, and a delightful mystery. Once that mystery is fully unraveled, however, the story quickly loses its luster with the final twist being entirely out of left field and not nearly set up enough to be satisfying.

    Few books have intrigued me and stimulated my thoughts as this amazing gem has done. It’s got fantasy elements to drive the story but it is so much more. Need something new, then this is the newness you’ve been hunting.
  • Incredible.

    this is a deep dive into a world of magic that is well defined and explained. for those of you like me who are a bit over analytical about magic systems that try to base themselves in the physics of our reality this is a book that does it quite well.
