Mathsmagica: Light's Shadow by Daniel Georgiev is the gripping second installment in the Mathsmagica series, where magic and mathematics intertwine. Harmony Enforcers Sova, Evie, and Nilah continue their studies, unaware of the looming chaos whilst dragons resurface and threaten to change reality as they know it. Meanwhile, Avos, a shadowy figure, seeks to manipulate events to rewrite the rules. While the trio’s journey takes them to the Castle of Wax, a labyrinth of magic and danger, the characters must face unimaginable trials and unlock hidden powers. This fast-paced fantasy is filled with daring adventures, intricate magic, and poignant themes of unity and destiny.
Author Daniel Georgiev has a knack for making concepts work together, and there's a clear passion for the world of mathematics in this inventive novel that becomes more infectious the more you read on. The fusion of math and magic as a central concept creates a refreshingly original fantasy world where things make logical sense, but everything is new and exciting. I liked the central trio of characters, and their struggles with identity and the power of friendship are themes that readers can relate to. I'm a big fan of dark and mysterious characters, so Avos was a real treat to explore as a complex figure haunting their every move, with genuine motivations beyond just chaos for the sake of it. Attention to detail is also present in the fast-moving plot, which is full of twists and high-stakes battles with cinematic moments on every page. Overall, Mathsmagica: Light's Shadow is a fantastic sequel novel that enhances the story world and characters even more. I can't wait to see what comes next in this highly recommended fantasy series.
