Step aside, Harry Potter - the Royal Institute of Magic is here!!
What an awesome series of books! The young man who wrote them did a brilliant job - I was engaged the whole way through the six books.
Unfortunately, there will be no sequels as the author, Victor Kloss, lost his battle with lymphoma. Absolutely tragic loss as I think he would’ve been hugely successful.
I really enjoyed the characters and creatures in this book. Couldn’t put it down. May just be the first series I start rereading, just to be a part of the characters adventure.
I enjoyed this series and the characters had depth. Relationships were explored and rules were followed. Good triumphs but some of the protagonists didn’t make it to the end of the series.
Not Hogwarts. It is a different version of hiding from non magical people;e. Discovering the Evil one and fighting against him. Suitable for younger children the danger level doesn’t rise and the difficulty stays the same, a great set of adventures for before Hogwarts.
