Narration To Books Lost (Magic Thief #2)
Never mix fire with magic!Conn may only be a wizard's apprentice, but even he knows it's dangerous to play with fire . . . especially around magic. His master, Nevery, warns him that it could all blow up in his face. Besides, they have bigger problems to deal with. There is evil afoot in the city of Wellmet, an evil that isn't human.
But Conn is drawn to the murmurs he hears every time he sets off an explosion—something is trying to talk to him, to warn him. When none of the wizards listen, Conn takes matters into his own hands. His quest to protect everything he loves brings him face-to-face with a powerful sorcerer-king and a treachery beyond even his vivid imagination.
Sarah Prineas works her own spells as she transports us to an extraordinary world where cities are run on living magic and even a thief can become a wizard's apprentice.

I listened to the book on audio...it kept me wanting more so...it was worth a listen.Diving in along with Mercy for her 12th birthday.What I like a lot about this one is that Conn continues to be misunderstood, but he is actually saving the city! He has a hefty amount of good discernment.Really enjoyed his interaction with the " Captain of the Guard" woman named Kern (which I understand is actually the amount of space between two words) she kidnaps him and treats him badly, yet he understands her motives and doesn't reject her out of hand is because she is someone that would
I still love listening to Conn narrate the story. His voice is the best part of reading the series. I didn't like this one quite as well as the previous book. I liked the coziness of the last book, and that was suddenly and violently taken away in this one, and I think that was the main drawback for me here and slightly soured the rest of the book for me. The conclusion was satisfyingly dramatic and exciting though, and it was still, aside from that one complaint, a pretty fun story to read.
I liked this second book in the series better than the first: whereas the first seemed filled with exposition, this time Prineas is able to slip in information from the first book while moving forward quickly. The relationship between the characters is growing, too.Conn has moved up in the world: no longer a gutterboy, he is the unofficial apprentice of the wizard Nevery. Unofficial because his locus magicalicus, his magic-focusing stone, was destroyed when he stopped an evil wizard and
This is a book my 10 year old was reading, so I read a little as well and just got it again so I could read it to (it's the second in a series, so read the first one first). It's a good story with magic and a young boys' journey from being a pick pocket to being an apprentice to a wizard, but he's also always getting into trouble. I like it because even though you wish the magic would make everything better, you learn, with him, to deal with the mistakes and consequences of choices. There's no
The magic had been returned to Wellmet, but the wizard Nevery Flinglas discovered that it was still low. While Connawaer (gutter boy turned wizards apprentice) spent his time searching for a new locus magicalicus (wizards magical stone), both the Sunrise and the Twilight side of Wellmet were being terrorized by the dark cloaked Shadowmen who were turning anybody found out in the dark to stone. During Conns attempts to speak to the magic, he was led to believe that he should travel to Desh to
In which we find, Conn, bereft of his locus magicalicus, trying to talk to Wellmet's magic by blowing things up.I think I called Conn the Steve Jobs of magicians in my review of book 1. Maybe I should have gone for Thomas Edison, who I believe also blew things up. Edison lost the hearing in one of his ears and Conn blows up his master's house and gives Bennett, Nevery's bodyguard, a skull fracture. We've probably all known people like Conn; people who are so convinced that they are right that
