Caitlyn Aguirre should have been a magician. Her family certainly expected her to be a magician. But by the time she reached her twelfth birthday, Caitlyn hadn't even managed to cast a single spell! In desperation, her parents send her - and her magical sisters - to Jude’s Sorcerous Academy, her last best chance to discover her powers.

But as she struggles to survive her classes without a single spell to her name, Caitlyn starts to uncover an ancient mystery that may prove the key to her true powers ...

... If she lives long enough to find it.

The Zero Blessing

3 August 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

At first the reader is going to think this is another take on the Hogwarts/Generic Magic Academy theme. But there is more than enough originality to make it stand out from the pack. As the heroine Caitlyn Aguirre discovers the magic in her world has rules, some of them hidden from magicians.
In addition we have both a coming of age story and a heroine who at the outset is flawed. Caitlyn is an outcast in her own family who know her secret, she is a zero who has no inherent magic. Her father at least still has hopes that her magic with emerge after enrollment at Judes, a magic academy.
Once at Jude she makes at least one good friend, Rose and the two have many adventures as Caitlyn discovers secrets of the world she lives in.At Judes she makes enemies as well and has to work hard to foil their attacks on her. Rose helps her with this as well as helping her out of the bitter shell she had built because of her magical handicap.

I've enjoyed reading the story a great deal and look forward to a possible sequel in the future.

This is an excellently written book, however...

29 May 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

... I have a serious problem with the society it presents. As is normal human behaviour, Power = Wealth and Privelege. Power, in this case, being magical ability. Those with minor magic are dismissed as less worthy and treated accordingly. Unpleasant, but again, realistic behaviour. My isssue is that the adults (parents/teachers) and senior students, don't just ignore the casual cruelty of the kids' pranks, they actively encourage aggressive and malicious behaviour as a learning tool. They may give out detentions, but not for bullying, and then they harp on about not going over to the dark side. What is difference between light magic and dark magic? Intent. Ummm, anyone else see the problem here?
As a result, the only likeable characters are Rose and Akin. Caitlyn, the heroine, is bitter (with good reason, admittedly - I wanted to rage at her parents myself) and somewhat selfish, having been raised in a priveleged household. Luckily, she has a good friend in Rose, who repays her help with loyalty and support, showing her what true worth is about. Caitlyn struggles to cope with having zero magic, in a world where it is valued above all else. She learns to use what talents she does have, to compensate for her lack of magical prowess, with amazing results - thereby, finally winning her father's approval (what a jerk).
The storyline is intriguing and definately worth following in the sequel. It will be interesting to see how the various characters develop.

An excellent book. Hoping for a sequel.

24 April 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I tend to give critical reviews, focusing on the flaws or areas that could be improved or that annoyed me while reading. A novel I have nothing against is rare. I have nothing bad to say about this book, provided there is a sequel.

The only possible complaint is that now the author has ANOTHER series to write which will slow down the pace for schooled in magic. This vexes me in the most pleasant of ways.

Please keep up the good work.

Much better than half a loaf!

The solecism runs:
Half a loaf is better than nothing.
Nothing is better than God.
Therefore, half a loaf of bread is better than God.
Chris has found something better than Magic, and has then let it be so! Yes a school for gifted children has to have its internal politics with bullies and friends. Oh are those friends of the bullies or friends of our downtrodden central character?

Keep Them Coming

A brilliant first novel in what I hope will be a new series. I liked the magic system, logical and well thought out. Explores what it would be like to live in a society of magic when you have no magical ability. Set in the traditional magical school. Good characters, it will be interesting to see how Cait's sisters react after the duel.

Interesting storyline will be interested in how the characters Caitlyn and her friend Rose pursue the next phase of this series and just how Zero's can improve the world, will we see more challenge for Caitlyn as more become aware of this Zero's abilities. Cannot wait for the next part

Damn you Chris. Now I'm addicted to another one of your wonderful universes.

The only disadvantage to CN's writing is that there's so much to keep up with.
