Special thanks to the author & @penguinrandomhouse #LabyrinthRoad for my gifted copy‼️

Centered around Black experiences it feels so good to be back at Caiman University the magical HBCU for young, Black Conjurers. This book was everything and to know we’re getting a book 3 I’m so here for it!!! I love LaDarrion’s writing because it’s so Black and relatable. If we had a magical HBCU in modern times this book is exactly how I would want it to be. Not gonna lie I can’t wait for this to release on audio because I knoooooow it’s gonna be fire. If you listened to book 1 then you know exactly why I can’t wait.

Now what can I say about this book without spoiling it for anyone . . . . It’s still giving Black boy magic, we have a new love interest, some new friends, of course there’s family drama, an ancient magical society, uncovered secrets (ish got real), a little forgiveness, and some legendary family ties. Act 3 did it for me! My only downside was some of the lingo used and a few situations kind of felt random.  But other than that the author delivered in every aspect. The character development was AMAZING you can see the growth in Malik and the depth the author put into the other characters.

The book was simply perfection it’s filled with Black culture, adventure, danger, stronger magic, and poignant themes of friendship and found family. I highly recommend ya’ll pre-order this one ASAP‼️ The book ends on a cliffhanger which has me super excited for the next book. I know for a fact readers are gonna love this even if you’re not into fantasy.

Rating: 4.5/5⭐️
