Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see. It's a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand.
Kell was raised in Arnes Red London and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see. Kell is one of the last Antari magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black.
As the halftime approached, the excitement in the gym was palpable. The crowd was buzzing with anticipation as the mascot entered the court in its customary wacky fashion. Connor, the epitome of determination, stood at the starting line.

Reviews for "Facing the impossible: Connor's battle against the mascot"
1. Sarah - 1 star - I found "Connor prevails against the mascot" to be incredibly boring and uninteresting. The plot was predictable and the characters lacked depth. The writing style was also subpar, with repetitive phrases and awkward dialogue. Overall, I was highly disappointed with this book and I would not recommend it to others.
2. Mark - 2 stars - While "Connor prevails against the mascot" had potential, it fell short in execution. The story lacked coherence and the pacing was off. The protagonist, Connor, was also unrelatable and his actions often seemed forced. The book had some moments of humor, but they were overshadowed by the overall lackluster writing. I was hoping for a more engaging and thought-provoking read, and unfortunately, this book did not deliver.
