Mistification by Kaaron Warren
1 star
Marvo is a real magician, not the Illusionists that we commonly think of when we hear magician. He controls mist, which can hide or show reality to a person. He also has the ability to give people tricks, like the ability to always see the truth or never to hurt another person. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Marvo’s story begins with people trying to kill him and his grandmother hiding them away in a secret room is a rather large building. They live hidden in this room for four years with Marvo sneaking out daily to find them food and watch what the people in the house do.
When Marvo’s grandmother dies, he is forced to go out in the world to make his way. But without an education and the basic skills to work, he does what he can to get by. The main thing he does is collect stories, from everyone and about everything. He ends up getting committed to a mental institute and meets Andra, a nurse. Later Marvo and Andra become a couple as they travel doing magic shows and gathering stories.
I have to say that the synopsis of this book makes it sound rather interesting. Sadly, the story left me very disappointed. There is no timeline so I was very confused about when or where this was supposed to have taken place. For the most part it is nothing more than a gathering of many stories that were a couple paragraphs long. They have no rhyme or reason and some had rather crude language and situations that put me off the book.
I would not recommend this book at all. There was no real point beyond a bunch of mish mash crass stories. If it was not for the fact that I got the book for free, I would have been taking it back for my money.
Do you have more great atricels like this one?
I feel satisfied after radeing that one.
