When I received an ARC of this book I well intended to pick it straight away. I have to admit though that the negative reviews on goodreads have put me off. I was a bit unsure about this book anyway just because I am not sure if it's my sort of read but after seeing the negative reviews I was a bit unsure. There are some positive ones so maybe I need to focus on those ones!
Anyway I hope to give this one a go soon, I know it's always bad to be put off by others opinions as I may love it. In fact I hope I do, I love it when books surprise you and you find yourself loving the book!


The Blurb

A drowning, a magician’s curse, and a centuries-old secret.
1537. A man hurries through city streets in a gathering snowstorm, clutching a box in one hand. He is Johann Faust, the greatest magician of his age. The box he carries contains a mirror safeguarding a portion of his soul and a small ring containing all the magic in the world. Together, they comprise something unimaginably dangerous.
London, the present day. Fifteen-year-old Gavin Stokes is boarding a train to the countryside to live with his aunt. His school and his parents can’t cope with him and the things he sees, things they tell him don’t really exist. At Pendurra, Gavin finds people who are like him, who see things too. They all make the same strange claim: magic exists, it’s leaking back into our world, and it’s bringing something terrible with it.
