Reviews for The Tome of the Magi

I've come to expect only the best from Hanson, but still, each of his books manages to surprise me. I'm not the one to enjoy fantasy on regular basis, finding it boring and predictive more often than not. Not so with this book. It's dark, cold - literally - and full of action. Talia is just my kind of character: strong and hard-headed, but Hanson never fails in showing us that no one is perfect. That everyone has weaknesses. He has a talent for developing his characters over time and showing us their growth in a manner that is relatable, making you believe that just maybe, you can be a hero, too. Or a heroine. Or a villain. Your pick.

An absolute recommendation for everyone loving dark fantasy!


Power studied in a way that takes imagination to a level of excellence. The struggle of light against darkness timeless and Captivating.
