Passion Can Turn to Magic

At first I wasn't sure of this book. I hadn't read the first book, but having two video game lovers and me being a book lover, the idea of that passion stemming a 'mancer level... well, it was just to intriguing to pass up. For those who love a good fantasy novel, this book is great. I enjoyed the hero being more a human than some battle hardened monster that could beat up anyone with just his pinky. I enjoyed Aliyah being a typical eight year old girl that had powers beyond what she could control. Her temper tantrums would make any parent go crazy. 

The plot was fresh and even the minor characters weren't just two dimensional like so many books can do. Language is common so those with sensitive ears beware. A killer story with just enough wow to make you crave more.
