When Isaac Vainio helped to reveal magic to the world, he dreamed of a utopian future, a new millennium of magical prosperity. One year later, things aren't going quite as he'd hoped. An organization known as Vanguard, made up of magical creatures and ex-Porters, wants open war with the mundane world. Isaac's own government is incarcerating "potential supernatural enemies" in prisons and internment camps. And Isaac finds himself targeted by all sides. It's a war that will soon envelop the world, and the key to victory may lie with Isaac himself, as he struggles to incorporate everything he's learned into a new, more powerful form of libriomancy. Surrounded by betrayal and political intrigue, Isaac and a ragtag group of allies must evade pursuit both magical and mundane, expose a conspiracy by some of the most powerful people in the world, and find a path to a better future.

Review of 'Revisionary' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I really enjoyed the conclusion to the Magic Ex Libris series. It had all the magical action and literary allusions pulled from a hat that made me fall in love with the series back when I read Libriomancer.

I also really enjoyed the way that emails and "current events" got mixed in at the end of each chapter to keep you aware of the bigger picture effects the events had.

Overall, it was just a really fun read.
