![]() Exciting without being frantic, the narrative wastes no time getting to the heart of the story. Their voices are consistent and well handled. The story is told primarily by Conn, and is interspersed with cryptic journal entries by Nevery, which offer a tantalizing counterpoint to the protagonist’s viewpoint. Prineas has created an appealing cast of characters, which she carefully reveals through their actions. Conn believes he knows the answer, but his enemies are closing in. Although it is the wizard’s job to stem the tide of the disappearing magic, he seems unable to do so. Curious about the boy, Nevery takes him on as an assistant and then an apprentice. Nevery, the wizard, has just returned after a 22-year exile, to try to save the town from the leaching of its magic, upon which so much, including its economy, depends. Gr 3 6 Conn, a pickpocket on the streets of Twilight, one day picks the pocket of a powerful wizard and steals his locus magicalicus, the center of his power.
