I will note that there are editing errors, and the notifications don't really exist. The book slows down there, but it wraps up nicely, and I'm looking forward to book two. After that the book gets text heavy at time as Callum tries to figure magic out without bringing attention to himself from the magic users. I really liked this book up until the point he leaves South Dakota. There are hints at magical politics going on, but we never get to see the whole picture. I won't spoil what comes next because it's integral to the plot, but Callum gets even more involved than before. It wouldn't be a very good b00k if that happened. He's on the run for the rest of the book. He buys a derelict house in S Dakota, and plans to hunker down until the trouble passes. There are rules for everything: what kind of magic is allowed, that only magical academy members can wield magic, and that mundanes (us) are viewed as less than human and mostly disposable.Ĭallum doesn't like any of this, so he sneaks out the first night and escapes. it's the kind with strict rules that would warm a National Socialist's heart on a cold winter day. And it's not the nice kind of magical academy. Next thing he knows, he's at a magical academy. The smoke is getting thick, and he has one person left when he can't take it anymore.

He's at a gym when a fire breaks out, and he helps move people outside. He does his best to ignore it, but it's difficult, and of course he can't talk to anyone about it either. His entire life he's been able to see ghosts (or something) moving around that other people can't see. The smoke is getting thick, an I got to the seventy percent mark of He Who Fights with Monsters book five and I couldn't take anymore, so I read this.
