A Study In Haphazard Magic | "Team Magic" Review

So I went into this knowing next to nothing about what I was getting myself into and that was sort of refreshing for me. I knew it obviously had something to do with magic but other than that I was going in pretty blind. Just from this first episode I find myself very intrigued. The amount you were able to set up with the amount of pages you had at your disposal shows real promise if your writing ability. The pacing here was great. Taking the first episode to set up your characters, how they operate in the world outside of magic and then finally showing them together was a really great starting point and I can't wait to see what happens next.

I liked how you introduced each character individually so we can get a glimpse of each of their lives and personalities before eventually introducing them to one another, with Miles being the one to have brought them all together. I'm interested in seeing how they bounce of one another which I'm sure we'll get to see in the next episode.

Some of the worldbuilding you've already managed to set up interests me as well. Things like the Guild of Sorcery, the Council and these mysterious "enemies" they're fighting. I'm really excited to discovering more as I keep reading. You've definitely got a new fan in me!

A Study In Haphazard Magic | "Run It Again" Review

Onto episode two and this really builds off the things established in the first episode quite nicely. I love that we just get right into the action with Miles training Evie, Link and Asher. No time was wasted in that regard and I think that was a good choice. It's looking like Evie is being set up to be the leader of this little trio and I'm totally okay with that because even in the first episode I feel like I connected with her character the most. Not that the others aren't just as interesting to read so far because they definitely are. I'm dying to learn even more about them and their individual personalities. Really see what makes this tick. I'm also interested in seeing their first introduction to Miles and magic. I'm more sure if you'll go into that or not or think it would even be that necessary to do so, but it would be interesting to see their initial thoughts and reactions.

Something that stood out to me was the dynamics of how magic works in this universe. I like how each person has a different color associated with their magic and I'm wondering what significance that has. In terms of how it's written and described, I applaud you because I'm able to envision everything pretty much effortless and it comes off as very descriptive without being too much and natural.

We got to see more of the relationship between Asher and Meredith which was very nice. I like that he was willing and able to come clean with her even if she just assumed by "magic" that he meant tricks. I wasn't sure if he was going to explain further and go more in depth about what he really meant but even though he didn't do that I believe him when he said that their relationship is the best thing in his life. And I'm interested in seeing their dynamic explored further. Meredith will eventually have to discover the truth and I really want to know how she's going to take it.

With Miles explaining to the trio that he'll answer their questions but not just yet, I felt as if that was also you talking to the audience. Like, if you want to know all the answers to these questions, you're just gonna have to keep reading. And that's just what I plan to do. I'm really like this series so far. It's caught my interest and I'm looking forward to reading more!

1.01 "Team Magic" - Review. 

I remember falling in love with this pitch originally but I wasn't as active as much on the site when it started airing so I never got around to reading and reviewing it. But we're here now and I'm excited to get stuck in. 

Going back over the pilot I know there were some tweaks that you made at the beginning which was a suggestion from Jack. I feel like reading the pilot this time around it felt more rounded. Giving us that glimpse into the Guild of Sorcery at the beginning adds a whole lot of mystery and raises a bunch of questions which I'm sure you'll soon answer in the coming episodes and having Miles show up at the end connecting us with the three protagonists really pays off and ends as a perfect catalyst of this adventure. 

I have to say your character introductions are fantastic. The personality of these characters jump right out of the page and I immediately get a sense of who they are without you having to really tell me much. Evie seems like a badass and an instant favourite, Link is very relatable and Asher may have the most complicated time as he's introduced to be in this serious relationship but at the same time having to cover up his new hobby. Just from the dialogue and settings for each of your characters, you got to convey a lot in such a short amount of time and it's really impressive. 

I'm really excited to see where you take this series and finding out about who the Guild are? Why they need these new recruits? An what is their role is within this world? 

Overall great first episode. Your writing flows really well and very easy to envision this on screen. I'm already a fan. Expect more reviews coming soon. 

[Jay Paterson]

1.02 "Run It Again" - Review

Another solid episode. I'm really happy that you've wasted no time jumping right into the action with their training. We know that the three have been working with Miles for a month now, so that relationship has already been established but you use the training well for this newfound friendship and them to slowly get to know one another whilst bonding over the training and the mystery that is Miles.

Evie just continues to steal the show for me. Her personality shines through in every scene and even from the first episode when she smirked after receiving a compliment from the customer she had just tattooed, you can tell she is a perfectionist and thrives off of being the best at what she does. So seeing her implement that in her magic and trying to prove to Miles that she is more ready than he thinks was entertaining to read.

As much as Asher wanted to tell the truth to Meredith he has found himself in this white lie. But who can blame him? How can he even explain to her what's going on when he doesn't fully know and it's a hard thing for anyone to wrap their heads around. I can only see this causing strain in their relationship, which would be a shame as they seem like a solid couple. But only time will tell.

I look forward to seeing which roles each of them take within this magical world. From the pitch and the original read-through, I could see Asher eventually stepping forward as a leader and still can. But Evie is really shining when it comes to magic so I'm interested in seeing how this all pans out.

I hope we learn more about Miles outwith the training sessions as he has me intrigued but at the same time, I'm loving that you are holding off on giving too much too soon. The readers are just as much in the dark as our characters and it only makes me want to learn more.

Again, I have to commend your writing. I'm looking forward to episode three.

[Jay Paterson]

1.03 "Everyone's on Strings" - Review

An episode with some answers. Over the past couple of episodes, Asher has come to the forefront of the series and I really enjoy diving into his storyline. His interactions with Miles was what I found most interesting about the episode and the approach taken to help Asher come to grips with magic. We find out more about Asher's back story and his life outside of this new world and Miles really breaks it down for him why that may be holding him back. It was nice to see Miles properly mentor rather than asking them to do things and offered a new dynamic that I'm interested in exploring. We're already on episode three and Asher is finding himself at a crossroads, is learning magic really for him? The passion is there but he's lacking where his peers are excelling which is causing doubts. It's nice to see that he can still turn to Meredith even if she does know the whole truth.

Although only a short scene, I'm excited to have learned more about Link, a personal trainer with a passion for photography. It plays into Miles conversation with Asher as both Link and Evie are creatives, they are already wired differently. As usual, Evie is a blast to read and it's funny to see her just dive headfirst to learning magic on her own and expand on what she has already learned. Although I feel like may cause some issues when it comes to going out on the field. She comes across as cocky at times and overconfidence might bite her in the ass. She's definitely a firey character which I love, it's a nice contrast to the quieter Link.

With taking the advice from Miles he finally takes a step forward with his magic, even if it isn't as impressive as he thinks, Miles will continue to lead him down the right path. This leads to Miles coming clean about what the Guild is and why they have been chosen. It's enough information to be given at this time as we have already been exposed to some of this at the beginning of the series, but there is still so much left to learn which has me excited.

The ending was perfect I can only imagine what you have in store for us.

"Everyone's On Strings" | REVIEW

Back to it with episode three. I really enjoyed it. It was mostly an extension of last episode, letting us see our core set of characters practice their magic an get more used to doing spells. With each episode we get a better feel for the characters and their relationships with one another.

I really loved the scene between Asher and Miles. I've been noticing how easy the whole practice of magic has been for Evie and in my head I was thinking it all had to do with her personality. How open minded and free spirited she must be. Asher on the other hand, as explained by Miles is very structured. He has rules in his life that pretty much determine how he thinks and what he believes. Until he changes that attitude and lets go of all that structure, it's gonna be difficult for her. I really like the way magic works in this universe you're building. Creates nice conflict and personal struggles for the characters and I'm eager to see more from that. Still on Asher -- there's been a lot of focus on him these last two episode and I appreciate that a lot. I didn't connect with him right away in the pilot but now that we've gotten a look at his home life with Meredith and their relationship, as well as his inner thought process on the whole magic thing, he's starting to become one of my favorites. I look forward to seeing his growth, along with the others.

I also really enjoyed the moment between Evie and Link. It's nice to learn she's been helping him with magic and I really enjoyed them talking a little about their personal lives with each other. It's good to see them interacting and talking about something not related to magic and just becoming friends.

This episode didn't move the plot forward in any significant way, but our characters did find out what we already know about the Guild and why they've decided to bring new magic users together. Hoping the next episode will delve deeper into that, because I'm just as curious as the others. All in all, a solid episode! Things are moving along quite nicely and the pacing of these episodes are always pretty great. Can't wait to see what happens next.

1.04 "The Little Bad" - Review

Things didn't quite go to plan but they got there in the end.

At the beginning of this episode, we are introduced to Pierce, who we know as an evil sorcerer and by the end of the episode, this is still all we know about this character. I would have liked to learn a bit more about Pierce in this episode and I don't doubt that we will in the next, but a little more info in this episode would have been nice.

However, you chose to focus on our protagonists and how they adapt to these new surroundings out the field which works well. I enjoyed that you divided the team up into different pairs in this episode. It was nice seeing Asher and Link having their moment to bond at the beginning of the episode discussing how they are finding juggling their old lives with the new. Although Link was interrupted before he was able to offer his advice about Meredith you can sense that the two have already build a friendship between the episodes. It's great that you can convey this without having to show these types of scenes and just stick to what drives your story forward. Evie and Miles are always a delight to read, they have great chemistry and I love their dynamic and Evie's changes between cocky student and teacher's pet.

With Link and Asher losing their target and Evie not doing much better after her criticism the gang head back to the clothing building where they are met with Pierce. This is the first time you have had an action sequence and I'm impressed with how well you wrote it. It isn't easy writing an action sequence especially one that involves 5 characters and bursts of magical energy going back and forth but you did well. With so much going on I'm glad you made it easy for readers to follow.

The episode ends with the gang having their first encounter with an evil "low level" sorcerer and have now discovered that the potential threats they may face going forward can only get worse.

Over a great episode. I had hoped to find a little more about Pierce in the end fight but I guess I'll have to move on to 1.05 for answers. Really entertaining so far, I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

[Jamison]

"The Little Bad" | REVIEW

Episode four starts off just as expected with the gang going on a stake out to find the enemy. We get to see a glimpse of another magic user in Pierce and it turns out that even though he almost got the upper hand on them during their fight later in the episode that he's pretty low level. That's surprising. While I was reading I was thinking "Man, so this is who they're gonna be up against." But it turns out there's even worse than him. Our heroes are in trouble. Hopefully Miles can get them better trained, and fast.

But onto the earlier part of the episode. I liked the stake out. How you divided them up into two groups and we got a little bit of a Link and Asher moment. I enjoyed their talk about Meredith and the relationship between her and Asher. Every episode we're getting a little bit more about that relationship and its really becoming a main focus or at least a pretty prominent side plot. I'm wondering whether or not we're gonna go back into the other characters' personal lives as well. So far we've only talked a little bit about how Link's studies in the last episode but I'm hoping to see more of that soon. Along with Evie's home life as well. But in this webisode format it can be quite the task to try to move the main plot forward while covering the extra ground of keeping up with every characters personal lives. You're doing a really job so far with pacing and keeping a balance of character and plot. I'm just really interested in finding out more about these characters. So good job there.

That action sequence was really fun to read and very well written. Action scenes are always a kicker for me and they're difficult to get just write, especially when you're limited to just magical blasts and spells. But you really painted a nice picture and it was very entertaining. I look forward to reading more scenes like that in the future and you should have fun coming up with new cool ways to describe different spells and attacks. 

All in all, another solid installment. This show is really moving forward nicely. I can't wait to see what happens next with Pierce going to The Guild. Should be lots to digest there.

[A. Blackwood]

Just wanted stop in to say I see the reviews that have come in over the last few days and I'm so appreciative that people have taken the time to not only read but leave some commentary too! I work on weekdays but I'm hoping to have a bit more time this weekend to reply to all the reviews.

Thank you so much for your review and the compliments on the first episode. I always had quite a clear idea that the first episode would focus on the three apprentice sorcerers just living their normal lives before it brought them together for the reveal (for them at least) that they are all training under the same person. The intro with the Guild was actually a late addition based on some comments from when I first pitched it saying they felt something was missing. In the end I was very happy with the result and hopefully I have been able to maintain that good balance of pacing and story telling in the later scripts.

This series was always intended to be a character driven series so we will certainly see more about them as episodes and sequences progress so hopefully you enjoy learning more about them. I'm certainly having a lot of fun writing them. I'm also glad the world building interests you. Sometimes it's hard to know as a writer if something is going to be successful or not once it's out of your brain and on to the page but based on reviews it seems like I've gotten it right, hopefully I can keep the trend going.

I'm more sure if you'll go into that or not or think it would even be that necessary to do so, but it would be interesting to see their initial thoughts and reactions.

It's so funny that people keep pinning Evie as a possible 'leader' for the group, because that is one thing I'm still not entirely sure of myself. I keep bouncing between which one of them would make a good leader and if there should be a singled out leader at all. That said, Evie does have a very strong personality so I can see why people keep leaning towards her. As for learning more about the characters, there's definitely a few more tidbits scattered throughout the first half of the sequence and there is at least one episode in the second half of the sequence that delves into their lives outside of magic a bit more so hopefully you enjoy those when they pop up.

As for the first meeting each of them had with Miles? I have ideas, it's just a case of if/when it's the right time to show it.

Something that stood out to me was the dynamics of how magic works in this universe. I like how each person has a different color associated with their magic and I'm wondering what significance that has. In terms of how it's written and described, I applaud you because I'm able to envision everything pretty much effortless and it comes off as very descriptive without being too much and natural.

Thank you! I actually have always felt that the descriptive writing is my weakest skill so it's very nice to hear that it is actually doing it's job well. I'm glad you picked up on the colour with the magic because it is very deliberate and there will be some explanation on that in future episodes.

We got to see more of the relationship between Asher and Meredith which was very nice. I like that he was willing and able to come clean with her even if she just assumed by "magic" that he meant tricks. I wasn't sure if he was going to explain further and go more in depth about what he really meant but even though he didn't do that I believe him when he said that their relationship is the best thing in his life. And I'm interested in seeing their dynamic explored further. Meredith will eventually have to discover the truth and I really want to know how she's going to take it.

Asher and Meredith will definitely get some more screen time together so you can look forward to that if you're a fan of them. As for if Asher comes clean about the magic or not and what impacts it might have on their relationship, you will have to wait and see.

With Miles explaining to the trio that he'll answer their questions but not just yet, I felt as if that was also you talking to the audience. Like, if you want to know all the answers to these questions, you're just gonna have to keep reading. And that's just what I plan to do. I'm really like this series so far. It's caught my interest and I'm looking forward to reading more!

Again, thank you so much for taking the time to review. It means so much and is a massive motivator for the times when I'm struggling to motivate myself to keep working on my creative projects

Characters and dialogue I have always felt are my strongest skills when it comes to my writing so I am glad to see that still appears to be the case, haha!

So seeing her implement that in her magic and trying to prove to Miles that she is more ready than he thinks was entertaining to read.

I'm glad that you are enjoying Evie's character. She is probably one of the easiest to write as so much of who she is is just out there in the open for everyone to see, which is part of the reason she has such a presence. Compared to Link and Asher, who are perhaps are a bit more subdued and don't feel the need to, or want to, have themselves so out in the open she does stand out.

As much as Asher wanted to tell the truth to Meredith he has found himself in this white lie. But who can blame him? How can he even explain to her what's going on when he doesn't fully know and it's a hard thing for anyone to wrap their heads around. I can only see this causing strain in their relationship, which would be a shame as they seem like a solid couple. But only time will tell.

Ah, yes, Asher has gotten himself into quite a spot and a big part of his story this sequence is going to be tied into that internal conflict of 'tell Meredith' or 'don't tell Meredith'. It's definitely going to be rough either way and he genuinely is just trying to do what he thinks is best, but a lot of people still make the wrong decisions while attempting to be good people. Hopefully when this particular conflict comes to an end you will be happy with the outcome but, as you said, only time will tell.

I look forward to seeing which roles each of them take within this magical world. From the pitch and the original read-through, I could see Asher eventually stepping forward as a leader and still can. But Evie is really shining when it comes to magic so I'm interested in seeing how this all pans out.

I hope we learn more about Miles outwith the training sessions as he has me intrigued but at the same time, I'm loving that you are holding off on giving too much too soon. The readers are just as much in the dark as our characters and it only makes me want to learn more.

Again, I have to commend your writing. I'm looking forward to episode three.

It's definitely a balance of how much information to put in each episode about the world, about magic, about the three apprentices, and about Miles. There is a lot of background there and I don't want to dump it on everyone in one go because that is not going to be enjoyable. Instead I'm working on sprinkling it throughout the episodes but that does mean some explanations and information has to be left until later. Hopefully it's more intriguing than it is annoying!

Thanks for another review. It genuinely means a lot to read people's reactions to the episodes and I love to hear what you have to say

The passion is there but he's lacking where his peers are excelling which is causing doubts. It's nice to see that he can still turn to Meredith even if she does know the whole truth.

I knew from the start that I was going to need an Asher focused episode early on because there is a lot happening internally for him with the whole magic thing that I wasn't able to portray clearly in the first couple of episodes. I also knew we needed to see the side of Miles that is actually a good teacher and not just a dick, haha! I think it's clear to say that Asher has the most complicated relationship with magic (and also a life that becomes very complicated by magic) and I wanted to establish that so readers could get a better sense of who Asher is. 

Although only a short scene, I'm excited to have learned more about Link, a personal trainer with a passion for photography. It plays into Miles conversation with Asher as both Link and Evie are creatives, they are already wired differently. As usual, Evie is a blast to read and it's funny to see her just dive headfirst to learning magic on her own and expand on what she has already learned. Although I feel like may cause some issues when it comes to going out on the field. She comes across as cocky at times and overconfidence might bite her in the ass. She's definitely a firey character which I love, it's a nice contrast to the quieter Link.

Nice pick up on Link and Evie both leaning towards the creative. Open-minded people definitely have an easier time with magic in this world because a lot of using magic is about your will, if you don't believe you can it won't work. You've also been able to point out one of Evie's flaws, and one of the reasons why I found it so personally amusing that people kept picking Evie as leadership material. Yes, she has a lot of qualities that make her a good leader but she also has a few that could be detrimental. Though, to be fair, all of them have pros and cons in this regard to we will just have to see where that ends up.

With taking the advice from Miles he finally takes a step forward with his magic, even if it isn't as impressive as he thinks, Miles will continue to lead him down the right path. This leads to Miles coming clean about what the Guild is and why they have been chosen. It's enough information to be given at this time as we have already been exposed to some of this at the beginning of the series, but there is still so much left to learn which has me excited.

1.05 "The Neighbourhood Sorcerer" - Review.

Its not not a test? At first, I was thinking that it was but now my head is all over the place.

What an exciting episode. I was surprised that this didn't pick up after their takedown of Pierce because I was expecting more from that character. Nonetheless what we got was great.

The episode starts with Miles giving our three leads an individual task to carry out. Each of them in a different part of the city. Again the smaller lines of dialogue between these three show that a friendship has been blooming off the screen. From Link and Asher carpooling to them murmuring in agreement with Evie's ever so opinionated comments. I've mentioned it before, but I enjoy these subtle things. It allows me to imagine their relationships outside of the episodes and missions and makes their progression seem more natural.

The gang goes back to their ordinary lives for a short moment before heading off on their errand. Asher heads to the reserve to deliver some herbs to Elharr, a magical woodland faerie creature. The descriptions for these scenes were great. I could really envision the creature without having seen anything like you've described, so great job! You have opened up the magical world you have created with this scene, bringing in new mythology and I'm digging it. Unsure if these creatures will come back into play down the line but I would be into it. Link is tasked with delivering books to Ms Belladonna and they created a bond right off the bat. Why is Link so likeable? After enjoying a cup of tea with his new friend things take a turn. Someone appears out the lift and is coming for both Link and Ms Belladonna. Luckily she is quick to notice and they head to the roof. As for Evie, she has to head to St. Andrews church with her parcel. Is the church name chosen at random? Or is this linked to Miles' Scottish heritage?

So what starts out to be a simple errand for our three protagonists ends out the complete opposite and results in a bunch of cliffhangers. What happened when Asher was accosted by the Sorceress? Who is the man coming for Link and Ms Belladonna and how will they make it off of the roof? And the biggest one of all which I don't need to spoil but Evie *Alicia Keys song*?!?!

One of the most exciting episodes so far. I look forward to catching up with episode 6 soon.
