Have you ever felt bored of your life? Wish there was something more? You'll wish you hadn't.
Felicity Hannigan & Treymane Boen are shop workers in the local supermarket. Doing their best to navigate the social minefield's & responsibilities of modern life.
Unlikely heroes you might think. But when they stumble across a magical and enchanting secret kept hidden from the world for thousands of years, all that changes in the blink of an eye.
But all things come with a price. Tremayne and Felicity quickly find themselves well in over their heads – and when the fate of the entire world rests upon their unlikely shoulders, they have to think outside of The Magic Box.
Magic Box is the debut fantasy novel by Adam Lawrence.
Adam, who also is an accomplished artist and designer, is a young writer from Croydon, England.
Two shop workers leading very commonplace lives find themselves taking an extraordinary magical adventure when they discover a mysterious house in the woods.
This debut novel is an imaginative tale, featuring two characters who start out being rather unsympathetic, but as I followed their story and learned more about who they were and what their motivations were, they did rather grow on me.
A promising first novel from a young writer who is undoubtedly still learning his craft, but is definitely one to watch.
When fantasy is well written, it's very good. And this book is a very good romp, with some beautifully crafted exchanges and situations I love the fact that the central protagonists : Felicity and Tremayne are so normal and hold down such prosaic jobs, as it makes what happens just that bit more believable. I also love the fact there are golems. Looking forward to more from this author
