A group of individuals with special powers all under one roof. I wonder what kind of trouble they will get themselves into?
Great review!
I can see why you'd say that. It's similar to X-Men, yes. I loved it and can't wait for the next one. Thanks.

I love the Harry Potter series! If this is similar, I am in! The world created, where humans fear and capture mages, and mages are learning in secrecy, sounds really interesting. Thanks for the review. I am adding this to my ever-growing list of books to read! :)

It was a good one, and I still want to read the second in the series. It's similar to Harry Potter, but it definitely has its own unique elements (which is good. You wouldn't want it to be too similar.) Thanks!

Wow, this sounds like an awesome read! I love how the main character gets to discover a part of himself that he never knew before (him being magical and all). I also like that it's a quick read. I think I might check this book out. Thanks for the review!

This book is set in a cool alternate reality. I can see myself enjoying it, I'll probably be wishing for more due to its relatively short length. I will be adding this to my reading list.

It really was fun to read. I'm looking forward to trying out the second book. Thanks for your thoughts!

I hope you enjoy it. The good news is, it's supposed to be a series. So, hopefully, they'll be more than one for you to enjoy. Thanks!

This sounds like an amazing book. I love that the characters are diverse and the world is developed and unique in its own way. I love science fiction so I think I will have to look into this one!

The mention of magic immediately caught my attention, as well as the mysterious and intriguing book cover. As a fan of Harry Potter, I'm definitely considering reading this book. The errors are unfortunate, but the story should still do it justice. Great review!

Oh trust me. It was worth reading in spite of the errors. It's well worth it for sure! Thanks.

How do you screen for mages if magic is something that can lie dormant inside of you? At least, that's what I've gathered from the implication that the mage needed to be awoken in Tommy. It's an interesting concept, to say the least.

Apparently there's a way. I need to check on the second book. I can't wait to read it. Thanks!
