ZizWho could have imagined how much the world would change? When Burning-Flames arrived – when the Kapteynians brought magic to Earth – the trajectory of humanity’s future was altered forever. On the largest scales, on the smallest human scales, and for me on a purely personal level.
Burning-Flames once told me that their people can’t do science – that the nature of magic prevents them from being able to perform reliable tests. Now that I have seen their home first hand, I can magic is inherently antithetical to science. But that didn’t stop humanity from unlocking its secrets.
Magitism – a new fundamental force – answers so many of the mysteries of science and history. From dark matter, to the Great Dying, to humanity’s obsession with gods and mysticism.
Herein you’ll find the chronicle of the most important event in human history; but more importantly, how I met my truest friend.
This book has a ton of great ideas all trying to get out onto the page. Aliens with magic, far future technology, and how society changes for that. The book chews through it all at a blistering pace though. So I'm looking forward to the next one where we'll hopefully get to spend more time focusing on one or two pieces.
It was a fun ride, getting both perspectives of the novel. The urban tone made took from what was imagined to be a serious sci-fi novel, to quite the roller coaster.
