Chapters read: 36The beginning of the story felt like a twist of the Hunger Games on a larger scale, with different places and districts sending their young children. It feels like a world of survival of the fittest among mages where only those who show no mercy towards their enemies survive for long. It's definitely not a happy go lucky, magical unicorns and laughter kind of mage story.I like that Wizards, apprentices and those stepping into the wizarding world don't have to have a wand to cast spells. There are magic tools, but one's power is more innate and doesn't revolve around a wand. I enjoyed the story and binge read. Regardless of the review, do a taste test and see if the story is to your liking or not
