Summary

Danny died a less than heroic death on Earth, was reincarnated in a new world, gained access to a mental sanctuary that ranks his skills, learned he can do magic, discovered that he can't fly, tricked rich old ladies into buying handbags, crafted himself a crude anti-magic girdle, went to magic school, grew a couple of apple trees, was drafted into a secret paramilitary organization, tamed a pet most people would rather never meet, regrew an elf's ears, gained a split concentration ability in the form of his former Earth self, avoided being kidnapped, was almost eaten by a basalisk, watched an airborn wizard play wack-a-troll, saved his friends from a massive ritualistic magic spell, and did a great impression of a human tree ornament.

Then Danny passed out from blood loss and pain.

Now it is all up to Cranny, the embodiment of Danny's split concentration, to get Danny fixed up before the slowly approaching zombie goblin has a nice woodland picnic.

Boring

The biggest problem with this book is that it doesn't make sense. Danny acts like a 12 year old instead of the 40 year old he's meant to be.

He has a power up that makes him extremely powerful but it's never explained why it takes hundreds of years for other mages to get the same thing. Frankly Danny shouldn't be so powerful just because he had a few years advance on mana training than his colleagues.

The whole thing is so juvenile. He has mana sight from the first book but it's never explained why only he seems to have such a useful ability. He thought of it in like 2 seconds. Surely an Elven druid who has been alive for centuries would have thought of it.

But the most infuriating thing about the book is Danny himself. I can wave away all the powers that have been pulled out thin air and make no sense. Ultimately Danny is extremely powerful. However he is still a pawn. He spends most the book helping the elves for absolutely no gain to him. In real life no one would do it. He would have also ditched the three girls. A harem is all well and good but it doesn't make sense for Danny (who's meant to have a mental age of 40) to allow himself to be shackled in such a way.

Ultimately the world doesn't seem real. There's nothing wrong with a power fantasy but it needs to be set in a believable world with believable characters.

This book is for kids. It has no mature themes or plot points at all. If you like that then go ahead. I think this book would be interesting for a 12 year old. If that's the targeted demographic then I apologise to the author.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
