Magic Missing #2
An Apprentice Without Magic
When Sam Smith joins the Royal Constabulary as an apprentice in the Investigative Division, his disability is kept a secret, but his experiences the previous summer have given him an edge over the other constable-apprentices creating a vicious jealousy. Life doesn’t get much easier, even as Sam learns from the crimes he helps solve with his partner. In fact, he finds that as he gets closer to finding a master criminal, people start getting killed, more daring crimes are committed, and Sam gets closer to risking his life.

About the author
Guy Antibes
77 books139 followersI write action/adventure fiction with a definite proclivity towards Sword & Sorcery. I like magicians, but I'm less partial to unicorns, dragons, elves and dwarves. But give me a hero with a magic sword and I'll make him sing... Wait, I already have!
I've published a number of works under the CasiePress imprint and there are more to come.
I'm an older guy (Guy!), married and all my kids have grown up and given me grandkids to dote over. I've read thousands of books and found that in most cases, I'd rather write than read.

Great read
Another great one by author Guy Antibes. Sam is an apprentice constable in this book. He finds Banna Plunk is in the city and is still scheming as usual. He finds friends who support and help him along the way. He ends up getting on the bad side of the Justice minister who is under Plunks thumb. Poor kid can never catch a break. I enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next one.

Recommended author AND this 2nd in the series
Do kids ever have good friends in Antibes' books? First meetings are always hostile and cordial relationships between them dont seem to last. So, the hero always seems 'at risk' in every new situation. Positive relations are with adults. Except for all the villians. *grin*
But in this second book, our hero matures enough to go beyond combat and leadership skills, to ... girls! Well, almost.

A good read
Mr. Antibes is my kind of writer, I have read most of his works, not all, and what I have read I enjoyed and this book is no exception. In a world where everyone else has magic, there is one who has none and must make his way in the world. Interesting premise and a well told story of this young man's efforts. Keep up the good work.

Gut Antibes writes such amazingly easy to read books. Trouble is I ended up reading into the wee small hours.
I am now I eagerly starting to read the sequel, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the storyline flows and the characters are well developed.
Yet another great series in the making, thank
you Guy. ☺

Timeline felt wonky. Characters continued to ask about last summers events that happened in the last book but we were shown the passage of time in the story that should have indicated a year or years had passed. Not a huge deal but it annoyed me when it kept happing.

Excellent!
Sam just can't catch a break, but at least, he may have his dog back. My opinion is I don't need to write reviews of I go on to read the next book in the series. There are series were I don't even finish the first book, much less any follow up.
