The Flux was everything I'd hoped for after reading Flex and more. The exciting conception of Magic and flawlessly executed characters return and are strengthened as Steinmetz delves deeper into the world and its possibilities. The characters face new challenges, and they grow and change in their relationships and personally. I was never broken out of the story to question the author's decisions, and instead was the best kind of complete immersed in the fast paced, and yet incredibly thoughtful plot.
