SO GOOD

If LitRPG had a baby with the Harry Potter series & received A Deadly Education … here ya go.

First 1/4 was very heavily game influenced.

An intricate magic system.

An older brother goes in but doesn‘t come out.

Younger brother‘s goal is to find his brother in a magic school where there are occasionally deadly challenges.

Our MC is industrious, curious & inventive. Scrappy!

Easy FUN read! I look forward to book 2!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+

Sufficiently Advanced Magic is an amazing book, and I suggest it to any teenager or young adult. Not only is this a book jam-packed with wonderful scenes, exiting plot twists, and an amazing story, but this book teaches us valuable lessons about perseverance and dedication. - E. K.

To finish or not to finish 🤔
About 1/5th of the way in. What do you think?

Centique What did you decide? The cover and blurb certainly sound good 🤞 (edited) 5y
Scash1114 @Centique i‘m def going to keep going, but i did put it down for the moment. I also put down Snow Crash which i was reading. I‘ve been trying to get better about not forcing myself to finish books that i‘m not crazy hooked into. I‘ll put them down, and if i keep thinking about them, I‘ll go back. I‘ve still been impressed with this one, so i‘ll pick it back up. Starting Heroes by Stephen Fry tonight👍🏻 5y
Centique @Scash1114 I‘m doing that more as well - putting books down. And I‘m reading myths at the moment too! I‘m looking forward to the Stephen Fry book but I have had this Robert Graves book on my TBR for years so trying that first (edited) 5y
Scash1114 @Centique now i have to have that! It looks great!!! Thanks so much for the suggestion!! My poor poor tbr.. 5y

A friend recommended this and it is free with #kindleunlimited. It is a really fun book especially for gamers and table top roleplayers. But it has an interesting version of magic and a more involved plot than a simple dungeon crawl.

1. Yes. I pick up books based on a nice cover and then read the summary to see if it lives up to it.
2. Not lately. I have a nice porch but not comfortable chairs. I really need a nice porch swing.
3. I almost always finish to a chapter unless at work or no longer able to keep my eyes open.
4. I used to be. Now I read more ebooks and can't find a proper bookmark in the house.
5. Those people so inclined.

@SilversReviews

SilversReviews I love to read on my porch. I have a table out there that works well for reading and snacking. 😍😍😍 Thanks for playing. (edited) 6y

I actually stopped reading this (even though I was really enjoying it) because it wasn't in the Litsy database and I couldn't tag it.

Now it's in the database so I'ma start reading it again. 😜

Its a magic-school/military/dungeon crawl mash-up that has a heckuva intricate magic system. I'm a little halfway through so gonna try and finish it off as quick as possible now. 🙃

Seekingtardis My hubby has this one next up on his tbr pile. Glad to hear it‘s good!! 7y

*edit* it's now been added.

I really wish I could tag this book (it's not in the Litsy database). It's so similar to a videogame RPG and there are so many cool D&D similarities. The magic system is crazy intricate and the characters and plot are developing really well.

Its a spectacular self-pub and I am thoroughly enjoying it! Highly recommend to people that are looking for a story with a very 'gamer' feel to it! 😍😍

Maike Thanks for the heads up, that sounds great! 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @Maike It also has the whole 'magic school' thing going on with it. Like Hogwarts...but for the military. ❤️ 7y
Maike @GrilledCheeseSamurai aaaaah nice. Might scratch the Hogwarts AND the Reader Player One itch 7y
