Anybody got any thoughts on this one before we start?
Has anyone read anything similar to this before?
Anybody read anything else by this author previously?
Ooo this looks good! :D I've been wanting to read some more middle grade books too.
Hi everyone! Very excited to be a part of this. Just wanted to let you all know, the book is only $8 on Amazon for the next two weeks. It's also available at several indie bookstores like Powell's, Vroman's, and Book Soup, but just wanted to give a heads-up to those who might want to save some dough. Here's the Amazon link:https://tinyurl.com/ya9pl4y9
Looking forward to what everyone thinks. Feel free to leave any questions here, and I'll answer as best I can!
Five-hundred years ago, magic began to fade from the world. Combustion engines and computers took the place of enchanted plows and spell books. Sorcerers were hunted almost to extinction. Science became the primary system of belief, and the secrets of spell-casting were forgotten ... until now.
Written by arcane arts preservationist and elite mage Euphemia Whitmore (along with her ordinary civilian aide Matt Harry), Sorcery for Beginners is the true how-to manual for returning magic to an uninspired world. It's also the story of Owen Macready, a seemingly average 13-year-old who finds himself drawn into a centuries-long secret war when he uses this book to take on a school bully. But when Owen's spell casting draws the attention of a ruthless millionaire and a secret society of anti-magic mercenaries, he must decide how much he's willing to risk to keep magic alive in the world.
