I have been into a lot of worlds; demigods, mermaids, angels, you name them - but not one as complicatedly detailed as this one, in a good way. Though first I must warn those who are preparing to dig into this book, do not read it if you do not like third person perspectives.
As some books may be, this one isn't very interesting (for me) in the beginnings. It almost bored me out at first, but then I finally got to where he started discovering (SPOILER ALERT!!!) that he was a wizard-slash-warrior. The pace started picking up after the discovery, and the transitions were pretty smooth all the way; except for some switches between perspectives (I only noticed there was a change of perspective after the first two sentences). Yes, there are going to be more than one perspective in this book.
And as much as I'd love to read about an interesting love triangle, one thing that I loved about this book was that it didn't have that strong of a sense for romance - but it did mention and include a few of them (SPOILER: between the protagonist and the bystander-girl-who-became-his-enemy-slash-opponent-slash-lover; between the protagonist's mentor and his aunt; between the aforementioned mentor and the protagonist's great-great-great grandma; between the aforementioned-mentioned mentor and the protagonist's mother) ---> I know! I have no words.
Well, moving on... This book would be an excellent recommendation to guys. And girls. But especially guys. since it's kinda hard to come by a novel these days without a heroine that saves the day. And it would be a thrill to those who love fantasy worlds.
If you've finished reading this, be sure to check out the sequel The Wizard Heir! As I am going to right now!
