This was a good short story leaving you ready for Dark Mirror. It's written in the form of diary entries and it's interesting and captivates you leaving you wanting more. You get a good prospective of Allarde and what he is going through. It also gives you a good orientation of where the book is going, the main setting and the situation in England when it comes to mages. Overall it was a great way to get your interest going and preparing you for Dark Mirror. It was very boring at first because all this guy talked about was his magic and how he was "doomed" because he got kicked out of his non magical school. Then it got a little bit better when his mom told him she had magic in her family and sent him to a magic school and he met a pretty girl.. then he was "doomed" again.. I might read the book "Dark Mirror" Hopefully it'll be so much better than this.
Absolutely loved this. Totally intrigued and want to read more!
