In an alternate universe (The United Isles of America), the people have fought a mysterious supernatural horror for years. Each generation, an elite group, known as Rithmatists, are granted powers to fight these creatures. The school where Rithmatists are trained has become a target, and as more students go missing, fellow-students Joel and Melody are drawn deeper into the mystery.Brandon Sanderson has created a rich story with winning characters and an intriguing system of magic. Fans of strategy games will enjoy Rithmatic dueling -- it practically begs to be turned into an online multiplayer iPad game -- and the excellent plot will have you flipping pages like a wild person, especially in the last third. Sanderson is a great storyteller, and he delivers a fresh and exciting story in The Rithmatist.
Arbitrary rating: 4 out of 5 strategy games
