Emma was a normal teenage girl before her twin nearly burned her to death. 

When Emma and her brother discover they have magic, they are visited by an archmage of a school for mages. They embark on a journey, but it becomes fraught with peril as a deranged cult captures them. Using every trick in their book, and with the help of unexpected allies, they struggle to not only survive in the wilderness but foil a dangerous plot involving a world-ending artifact. 

Can Emma and her allies overcome overwhelming odds and stop the cult before it's too late?

The first book in a new series by author Dayne Edmondson, "Mageborn" takes place twenty years after "Shadows Fall" and features cameos from characters past.

Non stop action from beginning to end. Characters are well developed and easy to keep track of even though there are many. Love the mix of magic and sci-fi which makes you want to see just where this is going. The evil is not quite conquered and the good is expected to get stronger. The student saving the teacher is a great theme and carried out with humility and awe. Looking forward to the next one.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read

I enjoyed the story and will enjoy continuing this series. I enjoy Emma as a female protagonist. I like that she thinks for herself as a character. Jeremy also has a good character build as well. Many of the other characters were one dimensional. I understand this is a first in a triology so I'm hoping that the other characters will be far more developed in the next book. I say it is an enjoyable read because Emma and the plot were able to hold my interest. I'm interested in their world as well. It is a rocky intro at the beginning sort of hard to get into the story. Stick with though, it is paced well, and is a fun adventure.

Tar Ebon vs. Tar Valon. Sisters? This is why I only gave you a 3. Too close. There are other similarities, but I digress. The story is decent and there were only a few grammatical errors. I hope you do not get sued by the estate of Robert Jordan. Good luck.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good start to the series

Even without reading the first trilogy, it was very entertaining and easy to keep up with the plot. There are a lot of things left unexplained that I hope will be expanded on in the next two books. The romantic hints were largely unnecessary but didn't take much time out of the book.

I am looking forward to continuing with the remaining books of this series before going back to read the first three to help understand the backstory of the characters added near the end of the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good start to a series

Sixteen-year-old Emma and her twin brother Ethan are in the focus of this story. Living in a small town where magic is something found only in stories, they and their parents and fellow townspeople are taken by surprise when their magic finally manifests (usually that happens when a child is around 10, not 16). Clearly, they need training, and their parents are knowledgable enough to send to the country's equivalent of Hogwarts.
The principal characters are somewhat two-dimensional, and a bit inconsistent: Emma starts out feeling unready to leave her mother (rather immature for a 16-year old), yet only two days after leaving, she is taking charge when the adults in the travel party are temporarily incapacitated. Secondary characters are often "stock characters', such as narrow-minded townsfolk.
The hints of modern technology mixing in with magic are intriguing; probably, if I had read "The Shadow Trilogy" first, set 20 years earlier, some of these hints would have been clarified.
The writing is satisfactory, although some more careful editing would help (usage of it's instead of its, e.g.).

5.0 out of 5 stars Clarke's Law in writing.

To paraphrase, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
This beginning is a solid beginning to this trilogy which follows 'The Shadow Trilogy'. (Another good read.) Taking up with the children of the previous generation's protagonists, 'Mageborn' stands well independently.
Of particular pleasure to this critic, the technological foundations of magic are presented, then dismissed to continue from the characters points' of view. Instead of the mixture becoming a stumbling block, they work together seamlessly to advance the plot and the world which contains it.
Emma and Ethan are understandable and very human.
I look forward to spending the $5 to read the next book in this trilogy.

Good storyline very nicely worked to keep the reader wanting more whilst still filling in the main characters backstory enough for the reader appreciate why each of the characters thinks and acts how they do.

Started a little slow but I really enjoyed the read. I tend to rate my books on how anxious I am to get back to them. I couldn't wait to get back to this one. Will probably buy the next installment.Thanks for a good book.

I like the courage and intuitive brain of Emma. There is so much more going on than magic ability alone which is intriguing.
