Reviews

[wyvernfriend]

Christopher comes from a world with magic, only it appears that Christopher himself is unable to use magic, only in his dreams he is different, travelling worlds that are unlike his own and finding people that interest him. Things change when his uncle finds out what he can do and involves him in experiments.

Not a bad read but I didn't quite engage with the characters, kept my interest but didn't fully engage it.
