Summary

In the latest rollicking adventure in the Magic 2.0 series, it’s time for the teenagers to show the adults how wizardry really works.

Mattie and Brewster are normal, typical 16-year-old twins who live with their normal, boring parents: Martin and Gwen Banks. Normal and boring, that is, until the day their father's best friend shows up at their house - dressed in what appears to be a bathrobe.

The next thing Mattie and Brewster know, their parents are frozen like human statues in their living room, the guy in the bathrobe has vanished, and they need to find answers - fast.

The twins set off on a quest to discover the truth of their parents' lives. Along the way they find secrets, lies, magic, time travel, strange new friends, stranger new enemies, and a really weird dirigible (which, they're told repeatedly, is not a blimp). It is a twisted and bizarre trail that, they hope, will lead them to the man they blame for their parents' peril:

Phillip.

Great addition to the series

Can't really go wrong with this book if you've enjoyed all the previous ones in the series, I would personally say it's not the best one but far from the worst one

The two new characters are enjoyable and it's a refreshing new look on the Magic 2.0 world, looking forward to the next in the series

Hoping to finally get some clues to the original creator of the file

Perfect!

Having read and loved all the previous Magic 2.0 books, I was daunted by the trope of "now it's their kids", but _The Vexed Generation_ delivered with all the comedy and excitement of the series. This is a sequel done very well, and Luke Daniels voice perfectly tells Scott Meyer's story in pace and voice acting. Give me more! 10/10 would recommend.

After the last novel I was not sure I was going to go with this one, but every one deserves a second chance... The story is fun fast and entertaining. Luke's proformance was great all in all a much better effort deserves and A unlike the C from the last one 😉 hopefully this is not the last one in the 2.0 series

Fairly good

Extremely well narrated, except for the kids, the boy sounds like a girl and the girl sounds like a boy. As for the story, it was very good except for the Americanisms. Like most non Americans, I have no idea what they mean when when they make mention of American sports etc

A rabbit from the top hat

One of the most fascinating thing I've found about this series is how many people seem to like the 3rd book over the 4th. When I've listened to the Unexpected Quest I hated it immensely, mostly because the character I loved from the first two books became caricatures of themselves. When I've read Fight and Flight I was delighted at how masterfully Scott Meyer gave all of his characters the edge they had. Now, after listening to the Vexed Generation I'm glad to say that I liked it a lot, because the characters were the same ones I fell in love with. Luke Daniels' performance was excellent as always. However, the story was very generic. I could tell almost every 'plot twist' from a mile away, the set up and payoff will be obvious to any reader. And even though I love the characters some of them still were portrayed diametrically opposite from the other books in this series. The last thing I want to mention is the overabundance of needless references. It doesn't ruin the story, but becomes a little bit annoying as the book goes on.
