Interpretation Toward Books Jinx's Magic (Jinx #2)
Jinx knows he can do magic. But he doesn't know why he's being stalked by a werewolf with a notebook, why the trees are starting to take back the only safe paths through the Urwald, or why the elves think Jinx and the evil Bonemaster are somehow connected.Jinx's perilous search for answers takes him to the desert land of Samara, where, according to the wizard Simon, he just might find the ancient magic he needs to defeat the Bonemaster and unite the Urwald. But Jinx finds himself in a centuries-old conspiracy that places the Urwald in even greater danger.
In this second installment of the Jinx trilogy, Sage Blackwood's daring hero is called upon to save the Urwald. The more he learns, however, the clearer it becomes that this quest will require more than the magic of a solitary wizard's apprentice, and soon he'll have to call upon all of the Urwald-witches, werewolves, wizards, and trees-for help.

A three and a half star book rather than four by my personal reckoning, but I'm rounding up because it seems to deserve better than a bland "I liked it". I find the prose in these books somewhat flat and simplistic, which decreases my enjoyment a little, but it's well suited to the MC's youth and direct manner. The multiple systems of magic in this book and the way they conflict and intertwine is fascinating; I'm also a bit in awe of the author's ability to telescope large stretches of time andJINX was one of my happy-happy reads of 2013. I didn't write a particularly brilliant review of the book --it deserved better-- but I did go all fan-girl on it and actually wrote "** I wish every book written for Middle-graders was this good**".I wrote this because JINX had fabulous characters and delightful tongue-in-cheek humor. It's a smart book, just as JINX'S MAGIC is a smart book. In fact, JINX'S MAGIC is almost as brilliant --filled with humor, smarts, and great characters -- and the only
Originally posted here at Random Musings of a Bibliophile.Jinx was one of my favorite reads of 2013. I fell in love with the characters and the world they inhabited. It is always a bit scary when you go back to characters and a world you love so much in a sequel. Exciting too though. And lovers of Jinx, Simon, and the Urwald have nothing to fear from Jinx's Magic. Sage Blackwood outdid herself in this one. If you haven't read Jinx yet, go and do that NOW. Then come back and read this.In book one
Update: Finished for a second time reading this 9/2016 and loved it even more; going to dive into the third bookWhy?! To end like that was just cruel and quite horrid. Now I will have to wait. For a year. A whole year or maybe longer for the next book! Cruelty!!!Ok, moving onto the book itself, which was excellent but bumpy as all get out. The pacing was very uneven--one minute you are plodding along wondering WHEN anything will ever happen and then bang! you are picked up and thrown headlong at
4.5 reallyFull review posted at Redeemed ReaderThe sequel to Jinx, Jinxs Magic is definitely a second book. Picking up immediately where Jinx left off, the book races to a cliffhanger end! Blackwoods world building, character development, and plotting are very well done. Jinx is revealed to be the Listener: he can hear the trees talk, see peoples thoughts, and can summon power from the trees of his home country (the Urwald) as well as through others knowledge. What this means for the future is
Loved the first in the series, loved this one just as much. Everything that had me turning pages in the first book continued just as strongly in this one--the characterization, the rich story world, the cool magic system. Only this time, Jinx spends some time outside the Urwald. I was afraid that would disappoint me, but it did not at all. The story has gotten bigger, more complex, but the pacing has continued just right.Seriously, this has become a new favorite series for me. I cannot wait for
