I have to say Jinx by Sage Blackwood is one of the best fantasy books I’ve ever read.
I tend to read and like fiction/fantasy but it really hooks you. I normally take two weeks to read a book but I was read this in four days because it was nearly impossible to drag me off of it.
The main character Jinx had many childhood problems. First off, he was poor, his Leading him to Simon Magnus/ Simon the wizard where he started to learn magic. When he started learning magic, Simon performed magic on him that took away Jinx’s ability to see people’s emotions. Jinx ran away and met a couple friends who’s names were Elfwyn and Reven where they started adventuring throughout the Urwald (the place where they live that lurks with trolls, werewolves, and many other treacherous creatures). After that, they go on an adventure beyond reality in which they learn much about each other.
Blackwood wrote this story with much fantasy but has connections to real life. Blackwood writes with adventure, imagination, while all at the same time with a tad of realism, forming a story about magic and some real causes and effects, although they blend into the story. The book has a quick start but so much important information happens in the start that you can’t just skim the book. Almost every single sentence contains of new information about one of the characters. Although the beginning of the book is shorter in pages than the climax and the ending, it still is far greater in days. This is a book that I recommend to anyone who enjoys fantasy and takes details because, as I said, almost every single sentence includes important information.
