Becoming The Conjurer

"Becoming the Conjurer" by Nick Oliveri is the first book in the "Stories of Shadow and Flame" series. This book is actually a prequel to the book "The Conjurer," but I got to read this book first, and I would recommend that you also start the series from this book. In this book, the paths of three boys intersect with each other at an unlikely junction. Milkalla gets an opportunity to become the Conjurer's assistant, but Gobi, the talented yet jealous one, interferes in between and tries his best to stop Milkalla from becoming the Conjurer's assistant. The second prince of Idaza, a chubby royal who is on a quest for greatness and for discovering what it takes to be a true leader, enters this wonderful tale.

I really liked the plot of the book; it is really intriguing and gripping, and it is very unique. Everything about this book is magnificent. The characters felt so real that at a certain point in this book, I started believing that I was also a part of the book. The way the author wrote this book was brilliant, and I was able to imagine every scene and situation. Every sentence in the book was crafted perfectly. The language is easy to understand, and you will also learn some new words.

This is a thriller book made up of the combination of betrayal, murder, chance, faith, hope, and power. The story is refreshing and full of thrill, mystery, and suspense, which will keep you gripped till the end, and you would not be able to put the book down. This is one of the best books I have ever read, and now I have become a huge fan of the author, and I appreciate his remarkable imagination. I am really excited to read the second part of the series. Hopefully, I would be reviewing the second part very soon. I highly recommend this book; go for it without thinking twice.
