Sufficiently Advanced Magic by Andrew Rowe

The plus side is there are so many more stories set in the Arcane Ascension world! The only downside to reading Sufficiently Advanced Magic was that I had an incredibly hard time putting it down, and so it was over far too quickly for me. Too many times to count I kept thinking, ‘this part would be epic in a game!’ or ‘I would love to pit my brain against these puzzles!’ So I am eagerly (but not so patiently) waiting for there to be an Arcane Ascension video game *coughs into fist, “Playstation”* The gamer in me is kinda miffed that this thing isn’t available on consoles across America. The way Rowe intertwines his vivid environments and richly imagined characters lends the whole thing a reality you don’t see every day. The reader in me couldn’t put this story down. Arcane Ascension promises to be an unforgettable series! That all combines to build a world that sucks you in, takes away your breath, knocks you on the head and has you begging for more. Sufficiently Advanced Magic mixes astounding action with great characters, some mysterious and others that you love (Me and Patrick could be best buds, you could be too if you didn’t judge me for being friends with ‘characters from a book’) and yet others that you love to hate.

If you too are riding the fence on litRPG, like I was, you should just close your eyes and jump into the blitzkrieg vortex of vivid gaming wonderment because this story can change the way you look at YA Fantasy and Fantasy novels in general. Let me tell ya ladies and gentlemen, Rowe blew me away with this story! A fantastic blend of RPG video game elements and epic fantasy that work in harmony to make a unique and amazing world. I was on the fence about this genre and took the plunge on the word of a friend (thank you!). Andrew Rowe has made a believer out of me.
