The Legend of Black Jack by A.R. Witham
4.0
I want more! What is going to happen to Jack (and the others) next?
Jack is an orphan, he lost is father to a cave in at one of his archeological digs. He’s a genius; devours every book he can get his hands on. He is shuffled from foster home to foster home until Memphis, a shapeshifting rhinoceros type creature, whisks him away to another world. His task? To save the life of a man by perform surgery - he’s no doctor, but will be… they took him from the wrong time - good thing he did all that reading.
The world building in this book is exquisite. The author did a wonderful job of making it easy for me to envision Jack’s surroundings. The magic system was well thought out and Jack brings his own magic to the story (science). His character development through the book, from fake legend to living legend, is incredible to behold. I enjoyed following every step of his journey.
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for giving me the opportunity to reader an advanced copy of this book.
