The Magic Collector (Book 1 of the Magic of Havenwood trilogy)
4.6/5 stars - 10 ratings
Experience a world where art is magic...where books create worlds and paintings and statues come to life!
Bella was sixteen when she discovered the truth: for the last decade, she’d been lost in a book.
Literally.
For the world she’d known her whole life was a fiction, everyone she’d ever known merely a character created by the magic of a powerful Writer. Bella discovers that she’d been sent into the book’s world by her late mother to escape the clutches of a murderous villain known as the Collector, the man who murdered Bella’s mother…and will stop at nothing to destroy her.
But when the Collector’s bounty hunters travel into the book to find her, Bella must escape into the real world. A world where art is magic…where paintings and statues come to life, where books can create worlds of their own, and where musicians and actors have powers so incredible that they alter reality itself. She discovers that she has the talent to become a Painter, able to draw out anything she paints into the real world…and to put anything in the real world into her canvas.
Now Bella must learn the art of painting to fight back against the Collector. If she fails, she will most surely die…or be shoved into a painting, and spend eternity trapped in the Collector’s collection as a painting herself!
Reviews from Amazon.com
Original. Consuming. Magical.
I rarely leave book reviews, having just finished this great book, I feel inclined to do so. I'll brainstorm my thoughts for you. Fun read, very original plot with enjoyable characters, can feel their thoughts and emotions, lots of detail to tease through, great descriptions of alternate worlds. Twists and Turns, Action, Adventure. I'm glad to have read it.
A great start to a fantastic fantasy series!
This is wonderful introduction to a fantastic new world! The way the rules and characters are slowly introduced is great, and really helps to set the mood for the whole book. Enough information is given to the reader that sometimes you can guess where it is going but not in away that fills forced, but like you are solving a puzzle. I am sure once all of the series is written you would be able to go back and read it all again with a completely new perspective. I can't wait for the next book in the series and will definitely be checking out the author's other work. If you love vast worlds and great fantasy this is a definite must read!
Pure, mind-engaging fantasy
I’ve not read such a mastery of fantasy possibly ever. Vivid imagery, poignant palaces and places, and just pure, mind-engaging fantasy.
Loved it
It was an interesting plot and kept me intrigued the entire time. I can’t wait to see where this story goes!
