10 Second Review
A young man is sold to the government so that he may learn the ways of magic. This is world ruled by magicians and many resent that domination...including the summoned demons that do most of the work.
This is a fun book to read and will be compared to the Harry Potter series.
However, while this book is more fun the wizards are not nearly so nice.
Notes
Regular footnotes add an interesting element.
