My Path To Magic

Irina Syromyatnikova is one of Moscow’s finest writers of science fiction and fantasy. In Russia, My Path to Magic is a very popular series of three novels in the subgenre of technomagic. The first book of the same name is followed by A Combat Alchemist and The Fixer of God’s Ways. Against a backdrop of numerous fantasy novels, this book stands out as a wolfhound among lapdogs. It features intrigue, eclectic ambience, easily relatable characters, a detailed and convincingly pictured world, and a balanced, well-developed plot. The number of characters is not so large as to get lost in them, but not so few as to lose interest. The series stands out as a surprisingly strong technofantasy.
