Night of the New Magicians

The way each magician's abilities are described feels so imaginative — I wonder if the author drew from real-world folklore or crafted them entirely from scratch.

The story kept me on the edge but also made me smile at the right moments. I'd love to hear if others found the tone perfectly pitched for middle-grade readers.

The school environment feels both familiar and fantastical, shaping the characters’ growth. I wonder what the author’s process was for creating such an inviting yet mysterious world.
