My Thoughts: The Last Magician was a really great start to a unique time traveling fantasy series and I was really excited about The Devil’s Thief! In fact – I waited in a really long line to get it at ALA Annual in NOLA. I was a bit disappointed though as I think it suffered from second book syndrome slightly. The premise remains so unique and the set up for this second book is really interesting with new elements being put into play as […]

It is set on a space ship taking a group of kids out to Eden — they are competing for a limited number of spots to go there and mine nyxia – a substance only found on this other planet. Their family gets compensated handsomely by this […]
