![]() At this point it's pretty good, and I would probably give the story a 4 star rating. Notice how many times I used the word 'magic'? Now, the story starts with the hero going into the tower, and moving from room to room on his quest fighting monsters and such. He comes off as studious, intelligent, introspective, cautious, prepared, and completely focused on one goal, going into a magical tower and participating in a coming of age type challenge, where he will fight magical creatures and overcome magical traps, to gain an atunement (granting magical abilities) and to find his brother, who disappeared 5 years ago in his own tower test. His family lives in a magically warded house that has a library full of books on magic, and virtually every aspect of his world is run by people who have magic abilities gained from 'atunements'. ![]() It should be noted that he was removed from public schooling specifically so that his father could teach him (for years) to fight in such magical duels. (minor spoilers follow) Let me explain the problem: The main character is the son of a noble house known specifically for their ability to fight and win in magical duels, and his parents are particularly famous for this. ![]()
