4.0 stars. A much better improvement over the first book. Until the last chapter.
Wow, somehow I continued on to the second book of Magic 2.0. So far, it’s a lot better than the first.
So, credit to the author.
This book takes place in the Lost City of Atlantis. The main plot involves quite a clever mystery. Even the reader doesn’t know what is happening.
A lot of the problems of the first book have gone away. There are more female characters (some intelligent and competent, some not). There is now some cleverness in the actions and they are no longer illogical. The Wizards are now starting to see how badly they’ve been using this new system once exposed to the ways other people have been using it.
Hopefully, they will finally learn the lesson that they are badly squandering the opportunity that this file has been giving to them for the past 10+ years. Hopefully.
There’s even a touch of romance. More than one!
This was a pleasant book to listen to, once I got into it.
Unfortunately, the last chapter returns back to the same pattern of the first. A trap that was too easy to implement and succeed. A bunch of wizards who willingly give up their powers with no backup plan. Supposedly intelligent people, easily tricked. Again.
