What Readers Are Saying:

I just found my new book to talk peoples ears off about! I could not put this book down and have told all of my friends to get a copy to read. I can't wait for the rest of the series!!! It was a fun refreshing take on magic and creatures. The characters are so captivating. I am glad to see a magic related series that is more female based and has more of the "Supernatural" feel to it.- L. Coffing

Added to my collection of urban fantasy beautifully written – Tevin

I've read other things by this author, but this one stands head and shoulders above the others! Fast paced, fascinating characters, twists and turns, loved it all and am so happy I could dive right into the second. Keep them coming - don't want to go into withdrawals! – Tami Cowles

This is a well-structured and exciting tale, with a magical system that any Fantasy lover would die for. This inspiring first novel shows a promising start to a series and kept a firm grasp on my attention throughout. Trials of Magic makes for an addictive read. Many times, I even found myself shouting at the characters, praying either for their safety or for them to succeed in their endeavors. A true work of fiction with great artistic flair. There is a lot of heart embedded within these pages. Trials of magic is a five-star read and a real credit to Mr. Thomas Carpenter. – Dax Munro

I've always enjoyed coming-of-age novels and this one is fantastic. It is Well written, well plotted, and gripping. The characters and plot do not let you go. -PRBC

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The characters are all interesting, I couldn't predict what would happen (which I LOVE), and I can hardly wait to find out what happens next. (I also appreciate that I want more, but that the book actually ended very well, and not in a cliffhanger.) Thomas Carpenter is a new favorite author for me! – Skipperdo

Loved this new book. It's amazing how real Carpenter makes this world and all the people in it. – Sharon Brigham Spratt

Animalians

I really love how quickly you fall head over heels for the Animalian Hall. – Yorkiemom

The Animalians series is easily one of the most enjoyable reads I have had in the past year. Filled with a relatable heroine, strong character building and equal doses of magic and action, the series starts strong and only gets better. – amazon customer

This is an excellent series. Fun and amazing characters with each a great separate plot. – Zippy Inger

This is one of the most amazing, spellbound series I have read in a long time. Loads of action, adventure, suspense and supernatural creatures. A must read series!- Liza van der Pluym

Gamemakers-

Fast paced and spot on descriptions will keep you turning pages well into the night. If you adore Jordan and Martin, Thomas Carpenter and his Hundred Halls series are MUST READS as sci-fantasy of today! – Lynda C.

If you want lots of interesting action and characters, this book has it. – J Krug

LitRPG has become very formulaic as a genre. The warped Forest steps beyond those norms and explores character development and world exploration/design in excellent ways. – Scott Reimers

I have treasured each and every one of the Hundred Halls stories. Tom Carpenter has a unique style of writing which is always brilliantly researched, detailed for easy visualization and reads like you have a master storyteller in your head. – Lynda C

It’s a well written, enthralling read that grabs you from the get go. The world building is incredible, the storyline, action packed and fast paced and the characters intriguing. Thrust into a world of soul swapping, magic, music, secrets and so much more, this had me on the edge of my seat and I could not put it down. – Debbie

Like all the other hundred hall series this one does not disappoint. Very unique scenarios and most unsuspecting plots. Fall in love with Minerva and follow her on her path of survival. – Liza van der Pluym
