The plot has potential but it doesn't really fulfill it...The story got somewhat over the top crazy and wasn't that well written either :/

Yoshi is a young boy who is on the run, but he doesnt remember why.

Yoshi has abilities that is truly amazing! and when he starts to remember his past his friends and acquaintance's has other amazing traits.
while on the run Yoshi meets up with a group of young illusionist and they help him escape and hide from his enforcer.

its all fun and a good imagination of a story. Yoshi is so annoying though he feels the need to mention he's lost his memory every 5 minutes like yes Yoshi we got it the first time!!! and nobody actually says what Aleister is trying to do with the kids who have abilities they just assume it's bad. We don't even get an explanation of why the kids have these abilities. This book is confusing!!!

A fast moving adventure story that plays on the city below a city concept. This highlights the hidden pathways of London in an accessible manner for children whilst adding a supernatural twist. Next time I visit the city I'll be going out of my way to visit seven dials to see if I can see the magic.

Really nice book for YA suspense and magic lovers. And it ends in such place that its impossible not to want to know what will come next!
I think to myself as YA dan Brown or smth. Because the book tells much about architecture of London and mystic underground and connections between things....
