Magical Intelligence (M. I.)

By: M. K. Wiseman

Narrated by: Alyson Grauer

When you are a member of Britain’s first team of wizard spies, every mission might be your last. But as the dawning of the 20th century draws ever nearer, magic grows weak. Violectric Dampening, the clash of man-made electricity with the gifts of magekind, threatens M.I.’s existence. And if that isn’t enough, they’ve now been discharged from their own government. Obsolete. Distrusted.

And now hunted by one of their own.

Myra Wetherby has always feared her so-called fits, strange visions of people, and places she cannot explain. It is the emotional manipulation, however, a strange empathic connection to those around her, which threatens her very sanity. A danger to her family, Myra runs away, falling straight into the hands of the newly ousted Magical Intelligence team. Who just so happen to need an ability like hers.

Which makes Myra one of them...whether she likes it or not.

Victorian era magical spies

This story is a good start to a series about mages who are also spies. The characters are interesting and the storyline is good. The end of the book was a great jumping-off spot to start a second book. The narration was very good, and each character had a distinct voice. While I do think this is a really good book, I had a hard time getting into it because I am not a fan of steampunk or the overly wordy Victorianesque speech. If you are a fan of this type of story I would highly recommend this book.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

MI meets MI2

I loved this book. I enjoyed my journey with 8 year old Myra as she struggled to understand her special gift. Now that she's 14 years and meets up with James James of the Magical Intelligence, the adventure begins. This is just another special story that can introduce young boys and girls into the magical world of books and their own MI2 adventure.

Magical spies

The story centers around a 14 year old girl name Myra who finds out about magic and meets magical spies. She gets drawn into their world and tries to help as much as she can. There is so much she doesn’t know which makes learning about this world and magic seem natural since we learn with Myra. I enjoyed the story a lot and definitely want more of the story. The narrator did a fantastic job with the story and kept me entertained the entire time I listened.

Super Fun Magic & Spies Combo

This was a ton of fun! What's better then a good magic story? Well mash it up with an M.I.(spy organization) and throw it back in the late 1800's and you get a truly awesome book. I have really loved this author's other books as well due to his fantastic story and character development, he just brings them all to life!

Parents: Really best for middle school and up
Language: PG
Violence: PG13- wizard duels, necormancy, sacrifice murder but none of it is very graphic
Sexual content: PG13- LGBT, no bedroom scenes, mostly kissing and light romance

Narrator was fun and easy to listen too, had great character differentiation, and fun accents.

Magical Intelligence

I really enjoy the premise of this book, and I think it was well executed. I particularly like the magic system used, along with the diverse types of powers and how they affected the other characters. I had some trouble getting into it, but once I did, the plot easily engaged me. The narration is pretty good, although there were several spots in the recording where the audio became oddly muted for 5-10 words. Not enough to completely pull me out, but distracting nonetheless.
