Story
Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future. Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That’s how war works, right?

A waste of a brilliant premise.

Like a high-school slam poem that never ends. The longest a 4 hour book can possibly be. The proof that pretense and cringe-worthy references can warp time itself. Perhaps that is the key to the characters' time travel.

Short, Sweet, and Well-Paced

Remedial Magic has a solid cast of characters and a strong tempo that never seems to bog down with exposition, yet successfully builds up an interesting setting. I look forward to the next book, as I feel like a lot of this book was just groundwork.
