A Magic Within by Sara V. Zook
Reviewed by: Neilliza
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Right from the beginning I knew I would enjoy the story. After Riley had her accident, she met a boy about the same age as her named Lydic. He was caring and was taken by Riley right away. He cared for her and protected her in anyway he can. He was such a nice boy, that Riley couldn't do anything but trust him.

Feeling prisoned by the place, she was getting more and more scared being there. Everyone acted like they hated her and no one would tell her anything. All they said is she didn't belong there, she couldn't agree more. For some reason, the person in Cordelia still wouldn't let her leave. Everyday that passes, she grew more and more worried about her parents and if she will ever get home to see them ever again. Lydic swore to her that he will do anything he can to get her home, he will find a way. No matter what, the way is, he will find it.



On her journey to this new world called Nimbus, she actually found a really good friend, a girl named Muriel. She was sweet, quiet (except with her) and liked her. After going through some changes, Lydic asked his grandfather Leibold for help. He knew if anyone can figure it out, it will be him. After his grandfather finally agreed, they went through some really hard obstacles to get out of the place that imprisoned them. On their journey to find a place that will help to get Riley home, they find more and more people hungry for power. The A Magic Within greediness, doesn't with Cordelia. Everyday that passes they are getting closer and closer to danger. Will they Riley ever get home? Or will she find a home in Nimbus with her friend Lydic and Muriel?

I really did enjoy this book, but at the same time felt lost when it ended. The story ended rather abruptly. I felt like the ending wasn't enough, Lydic deserves so much more. Is there book 2? I am hoping so, because I left with a lot of unanswered questions. If you see this Author Sara Zook, please tell me there's book 2. Till then I'll keep my fingers cross. ;)
