This was a beautifully written review. The reviewer takes time to point out the positive and negative aspect of this book, however, I look forward to learning more about Kai's experiences in the world he's thrust in.

I'm a fantasy fan, and I like the title a lot. I also agree that this book has some unique ideas. I do not think it's for me, though; I hope it finds its perfect audience. Thanks for the review!

Hi @Ajay Rudrapati, I just read your comments on the official review of "A Tome of Order Magic" and I agree with your review. I hope the author removes the sexist and misogynist comments and actions in a 2nd edition of this book. I found the sample very interesting but King Kai's aide's treatment of a servant girl could definitely be edited. @Mrlefty0706

A very insightful review. I guess the inappropriate part really put me off this book. Though I agree the concept was interesting. Thanks for the review.

Hi @Dan Polumbric, I just read your comments on the review of "A Tome of Order Magic" and I also wondered about the 3 out of 5-star rating. I cannot recall any BOTD receiving 3 out of 5-stars. I enjoyed the sample but I agree the sexist and misogynist actions could have been edited out of the story. @Mrlefty0706

I am fascinated by Kai's fate as he was unexpectedly transported into another world. I am intrigued by the "world of magic" that Kai was thrown in. I am interested in learning if Kai would be able to control the magic and figure out why he was summoned to this world.

In all novel books there are bright things and dark sides, positive things and negative sides, but what is important is that the positives are more than the negatives, and in this novel there is positive energy.

In our life of today everything is possible if we believe to ourselves. We do this because of self-esteem we get everytime when we don't allow ourselves to be defeated by challenges. Here Kai was summoned to other world he don't know the big task for him, he must work with people he don't know to find his purpose. I think if he can take a courage and tell himself he will do it no matter what, he will be able to do it

Based on the review, it seems that "A Tome of Order Magic" has some positive aspects such as unique ideas and good editing. However, it also has drawbacks like immature and inappropriate humor, a lack of clear plot, and excessive descriptions. The reviewer rates the book 3 out of 5 stars and recommends it for fans of science-fiction and fantasy-based video games, but warns about the explicit content. Overall, it may not be considered a good read for everyone due to its shortcomings. Touching resolution, left me feeling deeply satisfied.

Based on the review, it seems that "A Tome of Order Magic" has some strengths, such as unique ideas and good editing. However, the immaturity and inappropriate humor, as well as the lack of a clear plot, are significant drawbacks. It is recommended for fans of science-fiction and fantasy-based video games, but only for older readers who are comfortable with explicit content. Overall, it may not be the best choice for everyone. Heartfelt moments, brought tears to my eyes.

Yo, I checked out this book called "A Tome of Order Magic" and lemme tell ya, it's a mixed bag. The editing was on point, and the author had some cool ideas with unique magic concepts. But yo, here's the dealbreaker - the humor was mad immature and crossed the line into being sexist and misogynistic. Not cool, bro. The plot was also all over the place, like a series of mini-adventures instead of a clear storyline. And don't even get me started on the lengthy rants and monologues. Overall, I gotta give this book a 3 outta 5 stars. It's got potential, but it's definitely not for everyone. If you're into sci-fi and fantasy video games and can handle some inappropriate content, then go for it. But if not, it's a hard pass, my friend. Unforgettable characters, felt like old friends.

I loved how the tension built up in this story. The pacing was perfect, and I couldn’t put it down. The ending was a bit rushed, but overall, it was a gripping read.
