Official Review: Magician society by Roux York
Magician Society, by Roux York, is a piece of science fiction that looks into the lives of two magicians, Mael and Jaelyn, after they walked out of the “Tower of Babel” with Pearly. Magicians walking out of the tower have one or more unique abilities and must choose to become either sovereign or non-sovereign magicians. The governing rules for these sets of magicians are different. The author tells the story from the eyes of Mael and Jaelyn.
Mael exits the tower with superior abilities to Jaelyn and Pearly. Unlike Jaelyn, Mael and Pearly don’t have any memory of their time in the tower. This is an anomaly. They both have some kind of brain disorder. Pearly’s touch causes pain, and Mael has a super brain. Pearly's ability makes it difficult for her to connect with him. After some time, Mael's memories start coming back as Pearly becomes much stronger. Jaelyn then finds a way for them to connect. They realize that they were soulmates, and their memories had been suppressed to hinder their connection to each other. They make a decision that means they have to cut ties with people that they love for their own safety. What decision have they taken? Do they succeed?
There is always some degree of difficulty in writing a book that has no similarity to other books. The author wrote this book with a high degree of originality to the story. This tells a lot about the extent of the creativity of the author. He told a story that had an excellent plot with different interesting subplots. I was pleased that the author developed each character with a touch of class. As a result, I felt attached to more than three characters. I wasn’t sure who exactly the main protagonist or antagonist was until the closing stages of the book. This created some kind of welcome suspense in the story.
In addition to how well the characters were developed, I loved the way the author utilized the characters. Just when I was beginning to think that all was done for a particular character, her relevance sprung back into life. I believe that this enhanced the realism of the story. For example, Cristina was a character who was arrested by Dew and sent to a mental facility for evaluation. A couple of chapters later, Christina comes back to haunt Dew by slandering her to hurt her election campaign team. This definitely sounds realistic. The interesting part of it was that the actions of these characters indirectly affected the protagonists.
I was also pleased that the book was professionally edited. I found only four grammatical errors throughout the text. As a result, I was not distracted, and my reading flow was always maintained. On the downside, I found some of the conversations between certain characters too long and unnecessary. This was especially evident while they were trying to explain some scientific phenomena. It was a bit too much to keep up with at times.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I have not taken off any star because my reservations were underwhelming when compared to how well this book was written. Although most parts of the book were free of profane language, I found a few places towards the end where minor profane words were used. Sensitive readers may find it offensive. I recommend Magician Society to people who are interested in fantasy, magic, and fiction books.

The book is about 2 magician who's fates are been decided by the almighty.
They are made for each other but are like unknown to each other, but there destiny will brung them together somehow.
