Reviews for The Magic Factory (Oliver Blue and the School for Seers—Book One)

[Royal Budderfly · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I actually liked it. Almost like a Harry Potter fan fiction. My only qualm is with the voices. The narrator isn’t bad but I hated the voice for Oliver’s Brother and he made Oliver sound quite annoying and exasperating at times.

[David Mumby · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

If you ever wondered what would happen if Harry Potter faced off against Adolph Hitler then this is the book for you. It's not very original at all and it rushes to fast for anyone to develop any emotional attachment to any of the characters. The parallels to Harry Potter and far too frequent and strong and the time he spends with the kids in his machine school feels like about 2 days and suddenly everyone is seriously invested in each other's emotional state. I'm not sure how this book made it into production.

[Heather Redetzke · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

DNF -really tried. It’s so poorly written and slow. Don’t recommend unless you enjoy first drafts

[victoria nozza · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was good but not much of a build up little dry

[eric · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Terribly written. Wooden characters, predictable everything, no understanding of the science discussed. I finally gave up.

[Delaram Mirshamsi · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I feel like this is a combination of Charlie and the chocolate factory+ Harry potter, but poorly executed... won't continue with the series; although the magic system is kind of interesting, I'm not entirely invested in the characters' journey

[Juan C. Gonzalez · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]
