KEYNAN MASTERS very slowly develops his version of Mastery of Magic as his Team, the Peerless Pack - Leah, Amari, and eventually, Dez - attempt to save the Peerless Academy.
The plot arches quickly along as Keynan is unexpectedly admitted to Peerless, rejects it to the disappointment of his family and the entire Bizzy Block neighborhood, and winds up bicycling through one of the endless STORMS that dominate the tale to enter Peerless.
Even his vaunted fire poetry rhyming skills do not help him when the "corrupt magic"
which has entered Peerless escalates, thanks to his choices. Help oddly comes from the also magic challenged staff to sort of smooth things out so that Peerless can last another year despite no resolution to the threats of storms, at home or at Peerless.
You team characters smoothly and honestly interact.
Confusion arises with way, way too much unexplained and chaotic magic piling on:
Magic, Corrupt Magic, Breaks, Radiant, Illusion Wars, Rachet, Glories, and now, Rip.
Too many interrupt and cloud the plot...
Heck Masters and Soup are favorite characters.
"Great poems get past the surface, past what your eyes show you."
