Cami Murdock Jensen's Third Earth is a fantasy fiction series centered on sixteen-year-old Agnes. She is the archmage and the great wielder of truth on the second earth. She is on a mission to save the world.

Having a long history of success at her job, Agnes was on a mission to check the origin of earth 22 but got a frantic cry for help from the third earth filled with dragons. Having done her job on earth 22, she turned to do the usual on the third earth; however, she faced a difficult ordeal that left her a shadow of her former self. The mission on the third earth opened up several secrets held undercover for years. This story touched on the themes of betrayal, illusion, and pride. Could this be the end of the magical world and the earth? What are these discoveries she made? Find out by reading this interesting story.

On the positive aspects of the book, I loved that the main character, Agnes, was well developed by the author. The book didn't just reflect on her life as a magician but also as a loveable teenage girl. Her personality was very relatable, both as an archmage and a schoolgirl. Again, I loved that the author combined the magical, spiritual, and physical world perfectly. He made use of science, FBI agents, and recent happenings to tell this enchanting story.

There were quite a few things I didn't really appreciate about the book. Firstly, I felt some of the characters in the story were not well developed. Some key points to aid understanding were left blank, and this caused a bit of confusion. More so, I feel the book could have been more concise. I found some of the details shared in it to be unnecessary. Also, an average reader may have great difficulty understanding the complex storyline.

The book was exceptionally well edited. I couldn't find spelling or grammatical errors in it. However, I rate the book 3 out of 4 stars. I did not give it a higher rating because I did not appreciate some parts of the author's writing style. I feel the storyline could have been made a lot less complex. I couldn't fully understand some parts of the story. I didn't give the book a lower rating because the author put commendable effort into writing the book. He really showed a good mastery of the world of magic and the earth's origin passing through geologic times.

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy magical, villain, and crime stories because the book is filled with magical scenes and crime detection. Readers who also wish to have a better understanding of the dealings of the magical world will enjoy reading the book.

The plot of the story is very appealing but It really annoys when when author's focus on unnecessary details and forget essential ones. Great review

This sounds like a sci-fi novel and I enjoy the plot. Such a huge responsibility for a 16years old girl

Excellent character development, especially where the protagonist is relatable to the reader are always a plus for me. Thank you for the recommendation.

This book is multiverse themed, seeing as there are multiple earths. That is already quite amazing and one of the earths even has dragons? how impressive!. Thanks for such an excellent review.
