Fantastic!

Review by Zach

The Inquisitor's Apprentice was a fantastic book that grabbed my attention from the very beginning. This book reminded me of Harry Potter, Nicholas Flamel, and Percy Jackson. This is a fun adventure fantasy story that has mystery and magic. This story takes place in a time when magic is a known thing but is illegal. Follow Sacha as he discovers a power of his that will make life both easier and more difficult. As Sacha discovers that he can see magic!

Mildly interesting

Review by Delphox

This book is pretty dry, like all PJ our way books , but I like the use of magic.It should actually have way more magic though.

Could've been better

Review by lolunicorn

this book was good but could have been better because it talked too much about police, but didn't talk much about Sacha's ability to see witches. what I think would've made it better: if it talked more about Sacha's magical ability, and less about police.

Exciting read

Review by Leia

Super cool adventures for a little bit older kids as can be scary at parts.
