Summary:
Nathan has been persecuted all of his life because his father is the world's most powerful Black witch. In order to survive, he must escape and find his father before his seventeenth birthday. Unfortunately, everything that he does is tracked and he doesn't know who to trust. Will he be able to receive his gifts from his father or will he be doomed to perish?

My thoughts:
There was a lot of hype around this book before I picked it up. I usually read thing before they get t the point where everyone is talking about them and the movie deal is already in place. I tried very hard to go in with no expectations. I was intrigued with the story. Nathan is a well drawn out character. He is relateable and you really root for him to achieve. The second half of the book is paced really well with a good amount of action. The first half is a little slow, but it is good to build up the characters and the world building, which is England.
