Born into a dirt poor mining family, Karl only had one chance to get ahead in life, the annual elite recruitment day. On their final day of middle school, every student in the Golden Dragon Nation was given an experimental injection to awaken their affinity with magic.
Those few who succeeded would become the Elite, the leaders and idols of the nation, blessed with incredible magical powers and respected by all. Those who did not would return to their normal lives of hard work and low wages, just doing the best they could.
But with the nation surrounded by enemies, both humans and monsters, how long would these peaceful days of magical idols last?
Follow the story of Karl as he awakens a unique power and strives to become the world's first Legendary Beast Master.
This story left me feeling disappointed. The writing style is juvenile and was difficult for me to enjoy. The storyline is mediocre. You get a shot that may or may not give you super powers. A few of those go on to be superstars. The main character is given powers that no one has ever seen. The concept of being a beast master is what drove me to get this book. It was readable, but it just ended... No closure, no moving on to the next step...
I do not intend to purchase any more of this series. Nor do I recommend it.
The pacing of the book was good. However I would like to have a natural ending point as opposed to the way this book ended. I'd also like a clear cut antagonist to show up. I really enjoyed and will continue to read the story in the next book. But can't imagine having to wait for the next book with the way this one ended.
Not a fan of the almighty characters in a story who have all the answers and incredibly fast growth with all the answers to their problems along with instant genius answers to every issue. That said it was ok
