Manning.📚 After finishing the first book, I directly wanted to know how the story develops further. We still follow Will, who is now a student at Wurthaven. And he also realized that the teaching method at this school is not good enough for himself. And as expected in such a story, our main protagonist still starts to accomplish one unimaginable feat after another – which at times is a bit hard to believe to be realistic.https://vmac.ch/posts/2020-02-29-the-choice-of-magic-review/Sat, 29 Feb 2020 08:10:00 +0100https://vmac.ch/posts/2020-02-29-the-choice-of-magic-review/I just finished reading The Choice of Magic (Art of the Adept Book 1) by Michael G. Manning.📚 Another book proposed by the algorithm of Amazon, and as I was for the lookout for something lighter to read, I’ve decided to give it a try. The book did not disappoint. It is the classic hero story but with some twists. I especially liked how magic is working in this world and how he is learning it.
