Sandrilene gik ind ad den åbne dør og standsede. Der var blod alle vegne. Jamars maltrakterede lig lå på gulvet. Det værste af det hele var at hans afskårne hoved hang ned fra en af lamperne i en slynge, lavet af hans turban.

"Kan jeg være med til at fange forbryderne ved at danse?" Pascos øjne lyste. Sandrilene nikkede. "Det er tanken. Men det hele falder måske til jorden hvis jeg ikke kan arbejde den negative energi ind i et net ..."

Magiske trin

Lady Sandrilene fa Toren knows all about unusual magic--she herself spins and weaves it like thread. But when she witnesses a boy dancing a spell, even she is confounded. To her dismay she gets news of a mysterious murderer stalking a clan of local merchants. The killer employs the strangest magic of all: the ability to reduce essence to nothingness. As the murders mount and the killer grows bolder, Sandry's teaching takes on a grave purpose. It becomes clear to everyone that the killings can only be stopped by the combined magic of two people: the young teacher and her even younger student.

Literally burst into tears on the last page this time around soooooooo... yep. This book is a lot.

The Circle Opens quartet has already gotten off to a better start than the Circle of Magic quartet. The story was more mature and more intriguing than the problems that the main 4 characters faced in the first four books. 

The Good: 
•	Sandry had huge growth in this book. She is a likeable character from the beginning, but watching her mature into a teacher and having to become more of a mage and less of a child made this book so much better
•	Introduction of new characters: As I said, I loved Pasco and getting to see a new type of magic. It also showed us a different side of their world being in the middle of the city and working with their guards. 
•	Faster pace: The plot seemed much more driven and purposeful as opposed to some of the earlier books. 

The Bad: 
•	Easy to put down: and I did put it down multiple times 


Overall, I’m giving this book 4/5 stars because it was enjoyable and faster paced. I’m excited to see more growth from the other 3 members of the circle as they take on their own students.

I will admit I struggled with this read. I did not love the pacing in this book and I did not feel super connected to the characters. I wanted to love this book. I also only felt connected to one character and all the new characters overwhelmed me. I did like the "teaching aspects" of this read. I just did not love the pacing and wish the story grabbed my attention more. I def want to keep reading this series in the future.
