Ignotia: The Staff of Ivellious

by Grayden McClellan, Gabrielle Mintrup (Editor), Wendi McClellan (Editor)

Ignotia is a magical world—at least for some. Those with magical abilities attend Magden. There, the students learn how to use their various realms of magic to prepare them for important roles such as members of the Royal Guard, or even future rulers themselves. Students are taught to use their magic for good, but when word spreads that a few students have left the school on a murderous mission, those that are left must join together to stop them. However, they will soon discover there is more to the devious plan than they originally thought.

This adventure follows Magden’s rag-tag team of students which includes a loyal best friend, determined to save his buddy from irreversible consequences, Magden’s dynamic duo of star students, the quiet kid, and Ignotia’s rarest wizard in decades as they fight to save Ignotia as they know it.

Harry Potter fans, this is the book for you! This book is filled with a rich and interesting world that stems from the idea of wizardry and D&D. The characters are easily lovable and have a complex background that makes you interested in everyone's story. The storyline is easy to follow but dives deeper the more you read, making it impossible to put down. It covers topics such as racism, traumatic backgrounds, and anxiety related to the world today. Overall, the story is a fast and easy read that stems more towards younger readers at the ages of 13 and up. I loved reading the book and can't wait to see what happens next in this series!

Absolutely incredible. From someone who isn’t much of a fantasy novel reader, this book captivated me with its intricate characters, and detailed storyline that truly had me not knowing what to expect next. There were so many scenes that I loved to read through, I couldn’t put this book down. I loved the world of Ignotia, and can’t wait to see what happens next for this series and this author. Couldn’t recommend enough!

What a great book! Even though there were little hints of Harry Potter and D&D, this book is truly unique in itself. I loved getting to know the characters and all their powers. You definitely need to give this one a read!
