Real Magik was gifted to me in exchange for an honest review**
I like my heroines strong and resourceful. The main character of this novel is young Winnifred (Fred) Evers. She is neither strong nor resourceful in the beginning. Fred learns that she has a gift for Magik, and comes under the tutelage of the mysterious Zoe and her familiar, a cat named Oedipus. When Zoe disappears, Fred, Ed and her friend Nina go on a journey to find her.
This story is filled with vivid description and well-paced action. The characters are sassy and I especially enjoyed Oedipus' witty sarcasm. Fred matures throughout the novel, going from timid wallflower to a mature girl who isn't afraid to act.
All in all, a great read with memorable characters and many questions left unanswered. Looking forward to a sequel.
