It really added another layer to the story and made the characters feel more realistic. They make for a really interesting group and I found it really interesting seeing the group dynamics change as they travel to Jattapore and Diz begins to feel like the outsider. Mixing her in with Remi, the crazy talented spellcaster who has also contracted the spell plague, and ‘parents’ of the group Jaesin and Ania. She’s brave and stubborn, but she’s also deeply flawed and struggling to cope with the horrors of her past. One of the things I loved most about this story are the characters. The story is a really fascinating blend of science fiction and fantasy, and honestly I loved every second of it. The world building is fantastic and I loved the fresh concept of magic being controlled by a corporation, and citizens have to buy maz in order to make magic. There’s constant action and adventure as the friends battle to uncover the truth and save their lives. Spellhacker is a fast paced tale that hooks you in from the very first page and does not let you go till the very end. When their last job ever goes wrong they find themselves on the run for their lives, but is there something more going on than they know? Years later Diz lives in an apartment with best friends Jaesin and Remi and along with techwitch Ania they run a business siphoning maz from the corporation that controls all magic in the city. The story follows Diz, a teenager orphaned as a result of the infamous spellplague that killed thousands of people. I ended up being completely obsessed with this crazy adventure of a heist gone wrong and a group of friends trying to save the day. England’s other novel The Disasters so I was excited to give this a whirl. When I read the synopsis for Spellhacker I thought it sounded like a wonderful blend of science fiction and fantasy and I’d been keen to read M. Their next job is supposed to be their last heist ever.īut when their plan turns up a powerful new strain of maz that (literally) blows up in their faces, they’re driven to unravel a conspiracy at the very center of the spellplague-and possibly save the world. Which is why Diz and her three best friends run a highly lucrative, highly illegal maz siphoning gig on the side. Then an earthquake released a magical plague, killing thousands and opening the door for a greedy corporation to make maz a commodity that’s tightly controlled-and, of course, outrageously expensive. In Kyrkarta, magic-known as maz-was once a freely available natural resource.
