Magician: Apprentice

A good book, but for children. I liked the writing style, but the story just did not resonate with me. It talks about a young boy coming to maturity, having to choose a profession for himself and dealing with his feelings for the princess.

He is chosen, rather then choose himself, to be a magician, while his best friend becomes a soldier. The story is very cheerful and with promise of adventure, but there is no conflict and the plot which could be interesting is developed very slowly.

The plot is about the protagonist, Pug, having to learn about his mysterious powers and the threat of an invasion of his homeland from an army from another world. Elves and dwarfs may come together with the humans to fight a common enemy.

By the time the elven prince goes to his room and they're both start to talk it became painfully hard to read the child-focused discussion between them.
