Description

In the latest rollicking adventure in the Magic 2.0 series, it’s time for the teenagers to show the adults how wizardry really works.

Mattie and Brewster are normal, typical 16-year-old twins who live with their normal, boring parents: Martin and Gwen Banks. Normal and boring, that is, until the day their father's best friend shows up at their house - dressed in what appears to be a bathrobe. 

The next thing Mattie and Brewster know, their parents are frozen like human statues in their living room, the guy in the bathrobe has vanished, and they need to find answers - fast.   

The twins set off on a quest to discover the truth of their parents' lives. Along the way they find secrets, lies, magic, time travel, strange new friends, stranger new enemies, and a really weird dirigible (which, they're told repeatedly, is not a blimp). It is a twisted and bizarre trail that, they hope, will lead them to the man they blame for their parents' peril: 

Phillip.

Wanted this to be good! **Spoilers Ahead

I binged the Magic 2.0 series after stumbling upon the first book and deciding that it was casual, fun, and had an interesting plotline. That being said, the books have dipped in quality after each sequel. My main issue with books 2,3,4, and 5 is that there is more or less nothing going on during the beginning and the only real interest comes in at the end leaving the reader wanting to see what happens next; but with this book it was the opposite for me.

The introduction of the twins was a great idea and having them discover what the world is and who their parents are was fun; but for the last 5 or so chapters, for Scott to completely abandon the twins as the protagonists only for them to show up at the last second to "save the day" was just weird. The idea that these characters who we've grown to accept as being headstrong and reckless, just literally sitting there for 4 straight chapters felt lazy and not believable for the characters. Also the overused trope of having Britt just come up with the solution and time travel back to give it to everyone was not a satisfying solution for me (which Scott even points out himself through Maddie); but it's what happened anyways.

The humor is pretty forced at times and I cringed very hard when Scott made a "wink" to the readers criticisms of his last few books, and even more when he awkwardly explained that the plot of the book was an allegory for the last U.S. presidential election. It was super low hanging fruit and if Scott absolutely had to bring up Donald Trump, he could have been subtle rather than having the characters flat out tell us that's what the author is trying to do.

In conclusion, I wanted this book to be good; but forced humor and poor character writing left me hoping he takes a break from the series and works on delivering a more solid experience.

It's okay

the last book was definitely better than the woke garbage that had come right before that. This installment is nowhere close to the genius of the original book though.
I should have stopped on book 4, which was a solid 4/5

Write more please.

Love the fun. Want more.
Each book is uniquely fun and enjoyable. Would rather a more respectful approach to religion. It is not about robbing the poor and being shady. It’s about bettering ourselves with the example of Christ. But the rest is good.
Thanks.

Fun and well performed

This story is a little sillier than the previous ones...if that's even possible. It was good but certainly not my favorite of the series.

Loved all previous one, but this one, not so much.

Not a bad story or performance, but after listening to the other ones and loving them, this one felt forced or something.
