ENTER THE GLIMMER QUEEN

Good read
Conrad has an interesting story. Guess he is finding who is real friends are. And the Neave/Cora connection, never passed my mind. That one blew my mind. But the whole time I am reading the Arcanum, I am wondering if we miss out on 6years of Justin's life and what he and Elyssa are doing.

Bullies, Friends & Foes oh my!💜
Talk about the awkwardness of a new school. Throw in some bullies who want nothing more than to see you dead, Creepy teachers, and some major family drama and it makes for a very entertaining story. Oh did I mention lots of magic, madness & mystery. John Corwin really threw everything into this fantastic adventure. It’s quite a roller coaster ride, with some surprises along the way. Well done!! This is book 2 in this series. This is a spin-off from the Overworld Chronicles and I highly recommend all of these books/series.

A good read.
Conrad Edison enrolls in Arcane University with his best friends and begins a rollicking adventure. Frankly, this series wouldn't exist, in my opinion, if the Harry Potter books had never been written. There are a few homages to Harry Potter in this book which I found amusing. But the rest of the story stands on its own.I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Still good!
The second book of Conrad Edison and is still a great spin-off (starting to think it’s not really a spin off lol) I’m lucky to have found the kindle unlimited catching up on these books that I guess been missing out on, I will now start the third book but please know that the serious is one to read and give it a try at least it’s worth it.

An Enjoyable Addition
Great addition to the series. Still able to see the Harry Potter influences, but it is also it's own unique story native to the Overworld universe. Safe to say I enjoyed this story.

Continues to be a Harry Potter clone, there is a little bit more to the series than that...but not much.
Readable though
