review 1: I like it.It has a strong MC who uses magic.In this book he is traveling a lot and the reader gets to learn quite a lot about the world he wanders.Through the story is quite ordinary I still got hooked and read it in one go, to bad the second book isn't out yet.Update:Too bad, it seems the rest of the series is published (up to 5 books?!) but won't get translated with that in consideration I only give it 3 instead of the full 5 stars
review 2: The Road to Magic follows Oleg Davidov, a college student who likes to practice magic and gives up his human life to a powerful goddess named Clear Flame. She is touched by his sacrifice and reincarnates him in her realm into a new body. This body is the body of a great demon. Oleg becomes attracted to Clear Flame but
... more is told that he cannot pursue her because he will be sacrificed by fire unless he can become powerful enough to resist the flames, or become a fully-fledged demon, which would make him immune to her flames. Oleg decides to try to become a powerful wizard to resist and returns to his old body which makes him a part-demon shapeshifter. He also answers to Albert who summons him to Fenrian, a world where magicians live,so that he can get the knowledge he needs to resist her flames. While in Fenrian Oleg helps Princess Ataletta try to escape the clutches of her evil uncle and take rule of her kingdom. One of the strengths of this book is that it does not get boring. Oleg's sarcasm and wit along with the other interesting people he meets on his travels makes the book a good read and the writing is amusing. One of the weaknesses of the book is that it can get kind of confusing in some parts of the book. I can't wait for the next book to come out because the first book is so good. I would recommend this book to fans of fantasy, adventure, and action. less

Perhaps it is a translation issue - but I just couldn't get into this story.

Couldn't put it down, witty and humorous, and just a great read in general.
