About the author

Alex Linwood

9 books8 followers
Alex Linwood writes adventure fantasy fiction that can be enjoyed by both teens and adults.

Alex is fascinated by the world, especially how things are not always as they seem. A career spent in physics and studying both the large scale of the stars and galaxies, and the smallest of the quantum universe, is the perfect background to write about the fascinating and infinite possibilities of fantasy fiction. Who is to say that somewhere out there this is not all actually happening? Not this author.

The current series, Jack of Magic, follows Portia as she strives to both survive and help others in this gripping battle for their world.

Brilliant

Even though this is a young adult set of books, I was hooked from the start. What an incredible series and brilliantly written.

I thought I would never get through 43 hours of audio, but it zoomed by.

The Characters are well-defined and have such depth the worlds in which they sit are well-described.

I got involved with Portia and her adventures and can imagine that any child/adult alike would do the same.

The narration by Rafe Beckley was superb. He kept the characters alive and defined each character clearly.

I received this audiobook for free at my request. My review is my opinion and an honest review - nor did the author influence my opinion.
