This book was really fun. Lot's of similarities to J.K. Rowlings books about a boy who can do magic. But where they differ is that Nicholai (Nick) lives in modern day Las Vegas with his failed magician father, only to find out that he is part of a long line of powerful Russian Magicians that date back to the time of the Tsar and his family as well as the evil Rasputin.Nick must discover his inner power, learn how to live among those steeped in tradition and become part of the most successful magic show in Las Vegas while fighting off an evil intent on destroying him and his new found family.
Nick's cousin Isabelle can control her large white tiger Sasha as well as other animals. Including the Polar Bares they swim with. And Nick is given a special horse who shines like his coat is made of gold. The book brings out a lot of your imagination with the animals and the snow that falls from the top of the hotel the family lives in and runs, which tourist believe to be an illusion.
What I like about this book aside from the imaginings of all the creatures and magic tricks Ms. Kirov has put in her book, is the history that's included. How Houdini came up with his name, the fictional mystery surrounding his death, tied into other historical elements. It's fun to speculate and if I was a kid, it would lead me to find out more about the real characters she's added to this fictional story, like Jules Verne.
On to my next book... BLOOD TIES by Sophie McKenzie
