Magician: Apprentice

Very good sequel the power ramp was satisfying I don't know how there can be problems in the following books when Pug is so strong. The writing is really incredible as always and I felt really engaged the entire time, except for some parts where were pulled away from the action to follow another character. Overall pretty good, there's a couple dull moments but that's to be expected. Ending is super satisfying and as someone who doesn't want to get too involved in the 31 book saga I felt like this was a good stopping point.
