I received a copy of this book in my Booklings crate rep box.
The book is about a wizard boy named Xar whose magic hasn’t come in yet and a warrior girl named Wish who isn’t really great at being one. Their paths cross when Xar goes out to capture a witch.
The book takes you on a journey filled with adventure and magic. The book was very entertaining and I found all the illustrations very beautiful. I loved the author’s writing & descriptions of the woods too. I also liked all the different kinds of creatures and their creative names. It was a very fun book to read and a pretty quick read. It’s definitely aimed for children but if you love the fantasy genre, you’ll definitely like this book.
The gorgeous illustrations like these definitely bumped up the book a notch for me.
It also gave me Once upon a time (tv show) vibes in some parts. I definitely want to pick up the How to train your dragon books now, after reading this. Also this book is going to be a series and I definitely liked it enough to pick up the next book.
P.S. loved the poem at the end.
Rating: 4/5 stars from me.
Have you read this book? Would love to know your thoughts!
