![]() ![]() The story follows young Corin Cadence in a 1st person PoV. None of this is a bad thing, I'm just drawing all the customary comparisons in one paragraph. Yes, I see you, Itachi and your Sharingan all over that epilogue. The main character is very Kvothe-like (though not quite as annoying), the school is very Hogwarts-like (and not just because it's a school that teaches magic), the magic system is very video-game like in its mountainous detail of attunements and tiers and levels, and there's anime influences ALL over the book. OK, not really, but it's not that far off. So SAM is the result of taking Kvothe, Hogwarts, Diablo (the video game), and anime (in general) and throwing them all into a blender. ![]() It's not my usual cup of tea, but I'm reading all the finalists this year and I'm glad I made the effort. This is, in fact, the reason I picked it up. Sufficiently Advanced Magic (SAM) is currently a finalist in this year's Self Published Fantasy Blog off (SPFBO) and you can find out more about the initiative by clicking here. ![]()
