Story
Years ago, Heart’s Eye, a school built on top of a nexus point, was attacked and captured by a necromancer. The nexus point was snuffed out, the handful of survivors forced to flee, and the once great school turned into a forward base for a necromantic invasion. All seemed lost, until Emily killed the necromancer and retook the school. Now, she intends to lay the building blocks for a university, a place where magical knowledge and mundane technology are brought together for the benefit of all. But dark secrets lie within the shadowed school.

Story
Every magician who wants to be great goes through an apprenticeship...a period of training under a master who will hopefully raise them to mastery themselves. For Emily, the time has come to begin her long-awaited apprenticeship with Void. She must master her powers or risk being destroyed by them. But as Void introduces her to levels and layers of magic she never even knew existed, she finds herself fighting desperately to keep up, to defeat challenge after challenge, to prove her worth to study under him, and to survive a training course that has killed lesser magicians.

Elaine is an orphan girl who has grown up in a world where magical ability brings power. Her limited talent was enough to ensure a magical training, but she's very inexperienced and was lucky to get a position working in the Great Library. Now, the Grand Sorcerer - the most powerful magician of them all - is dying, although initially that makes little difference to Elaine; she certainly doesn't have the power to compete for higher status in the Golden City. But all that changes when she triggers a magical trap....

Great story for primary school children. I really liked the story line and the setting. It lacked descriptions in some areas. I felt that Christopher could have allowed me touch the ancient walls and feel the dust or smell a rancid potion. Instead I was always faraway from my characters. Still I will continue to read the series, which may end up being a part our reading list in the classroom.

Great magic theory and plot, but lacking in style.
Starting with what I liked, the narrator was please t to listen to and did a great job distinguishing voices between characters. The magic system Nuttal used was very well thought out and I really enjoyed a lot of the in depth explanations for the way magic worked in different circumstances. I found the core idea of why objects of power didn't work (I won't spoil it here) a very clever and unique way of thinking about artificing. The main characters were well defined and distinguishable from each other, and their goals were clearly set out enough that I could follow their evolution towards those goals throughout the story. However, the prose needed some work and there was a lot of very repetitive terminology, with key descriptive words often being repeated several times over the span of a couple of sentences. There was a painful abundance of the main character "groaning inwardly" and a lot of other people "glaring angrily," "running hastily" and many other instances of "verbing verbily" to the point where one might fatally wound oneself to make a drinking game of taking a shot at every instance. Not a terrible read, but not one I'll recommend to anyone any time soon.

In a world of Magic, One Girl has Zero
This is a world in which everyone has magic, every person can do some form of spell, from the full on Magic Users that create magical items and study magic full time, to cleaners who use simple spells to help them with their daily tasks. The world is kind of like an old world England, with villages, Lords etc, but prestige is not determined by Magical talent rather than sheer wealth.
The story starts with us being introduced to the Aquirre family, the Father is a powerful Mage, able to craft items of true power, and do other amazing feats of magic. His wife is a world renowned Potion Master, able to craft, brew and generate potions of amazing magical power like no other. In the Magical world, twins are a great gift, making a family extremely powerful, so when the Aquirre family are blessed with triplets, their power and place amongst the Elite is practically guaranteed for generations. That is, right up until Caitlyn, the 3rd of the triplets is found to be a Zero, someone with absolutely NO magical ability at all.
Her two sisters Alana and Bella of course have it, Alana is the standard precocious, horrendous, snobby person absolutely full of herself that you would expect in such a family. Bella is kind of lazy with her magic, knowing that she is the 2nd child.
There are going to be obvious comparisons to Harry Potter here, but this is much better. For starters, Caitlyn doesn’t have all the answers, she has to work for things, she isn't handed them, and Nuttall has actually written his story, rather than re-writing a lot of well-known mythology, and having a fairly predictable story.
Secondly, having the main character with no magic in an entire world of magic users is a lot of fun. Yes, I know, it has been done before (Such as Weis & Hickman’s Darksword Trilogy for example), but this is a fantastically written story.
Nuttall has created a beautiful world for the characters to play in and this story to unfold, and it adds a sensational depth to the book. With the upper class magical element, and the peasantry all wrapped around magic through, rather than money, it creates a unique perspective of things. There are also references to this ancient ‘Empire’ that existed previously that fell, and how knowledge was lost, and those of today are trying to re-create some elements of the new world based on this old Empire. It adds an element of mystery, gives the story some extra depth, and allows Nuttall to add various storylines that provide his story with some actual substance.
The main character herself is brilliant, both for a younger audience (which to be honest, I think this book might be aimed at, but, we’re all big kids at heart), but this is also a great listen for anybody who likes a good fantasy story.
Caitlyn is obviously a troubled girl, struggling in a world where she is not only expected to have the gift of magic, but without it, she may well damage the reputation of her family. And even worse, without it, she becomes the target of everyone who sees her as easy prey. However, she is a wonderful role model as well, in a current real world full of news of bullying, Caitlyn shows that you can stand up for yourself, using your intelligence, courage, and your wits. Without giving too much away, she finds things to counter her ‘disability’ as such, making her creativity and intuitiveness part of the real fascination of this book as she has to deal with not just her sisters, but Judes school of Magic, a place where she should be eaten alive with no magical ability.
There are some other wonderful characters as well, Rose, the commoner who was lucky enough to get into the school and becomes Caitlyn’s friend, Caitlyn’s two sisters obviously, the twins of a rival family, as well as those of Caitlyn’s Dorm. All come together to make this an exceptional book. (I was going to write a ‘magical book’ but it I just couldn’t bring myself to do it…)
Whether you are new to Fantasy or Christopher Nuttall’s work, this is a great place to start.
As for the Narration Saskia Maarleveld has such a beautiful voice it is such a joy to listen to regardless of the story she is telling, so when she has material of this standard, it is a true blessing to get to listen to. Maarleveld captivates with a wonderful array of voices, both male and female, using her exquisite tones to bring life and magic to the characters so you can thoroughly enjoy Nuttall's wonderful story.
This is a perfect match of an outstanding Author and an Exceptional Narrator, and anything this pair does is going to be worth listening to.

Repetitive...
The story could be good, but.... Just in the first 3 chapters, all you hear, over and over and over. I can't do magic. So distracting after the 500th time. This girl needs to see a magical physiatrist.

A New And Exciting Magical World
This is the 3rd different series by Nuttall featuring a magical society and a strong female lead. While it's not necessarily better than the other series, it is full of its own creativity and characters that make it distinct and in some ways more interesting. It has elements of Sanderson's Mistborn series, as well as Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles. Good company, indeed.
The narration is first-rate, and I was pleasantly surprised that the book is less predictable than it appears at first. Sure there's a magical school, kids that can be cruel, and occasional duels, but if that's to your liking, you won't be disappointed with this book.

Not my favorite from this author
I truly dislike to write a review of a book I just could not get into. Especially when its an author that I like in other of his books. His science fiction that I have read is good to great. But this fantasy just left me flat. I could not finish it. It did not grab my interest. The main character repeatedly tears herself down. I get she has issues to overcome, but how often do you have to repeat it until it is overkill. If you like s/f pickup his Ark Royal series, it is much better in my humble opinion.

Highly immersive and warmly recommended
I am a big fan of the very immersive and detailed Schooled in Magic series; though was not keen on the first Bookworm novel. However, this gem has usurped any favorite in the Schooled in Magic series. Simply splendid. Incredibly detailed magic world, and the writer very skillfully allows the reader to suspend their disbelief. This is quite the page turner! I had to alter my activities to finish it. I can hardly bear to wait to begin the next one, which I will do the instant I finish this review.
SUPERBLY narrated.
The only "drawback" is that Caitlyn, her sisters and Isabella all seem more like 16 years old, certainly not ten. However, that is a wonderful drawback as it made the book much more appealing and yet it will "last" much longer, her school years.
I just loved how this first installment wrapped up and the insight into her father was very well done. I am keenly interested in Caitlyn's well-being, that of her friend Rose, and care even about some of the teachers. Well-done!!

Great Story & Narrator! Often Forgot It Was YA
While the ages are pre-teen, the intelligence and invention that the lead character, even with the voice appropriately young, often allowed me to forget the age. The material is clean and appropriate for the age. The latter allowed the focus to be on the excellent story telling. The narrator, Ms. Maarleveld, is excellent, as always.

Worth a credit, but does have some annoying flaws
The book has a nice story line, but it is long and drawn out. The writer has a tendency to repeat the same mantra every few paragraphs...after reaching 3/4 of the book, I just started to skip chapters. The events that occurred in the middle of the book had little impact on the ending...so, honestly, I think you could read the first 1/4 and then skip to the last quarter and not miss much of anything. It is for that reason that I dropped a couple stars.
The storyline itself is kinda interesting and you do want to see where things go. I also thought Maarleveld did a good job with the voices of the various characters. So, I can recommend this for using a credit, or maybe wait for a sale....but if you are scrapping by for credits or cash, hold off.

Loved it!
I've been looking for a story in the same area as Harry Potter and this is it. It's brilliant. Saskia gives a superb performance and the story is so well thought out. Just bought book two.
