Noam sees this as an opportunity to work from the inside to bring rights to the many refugees who have come to Carolinia to escape the virus that still plagues other areas…. With his parents dead, Noam is brought to the witching training center, receiving personal tutoring from the minister of defense, Calix Lehrer. Noam, the Jewish Latinx son of undocumented immigrants from neighboring Atlantia, is one.

If you survive, the magic stays and you become a witching. In Carolinia, one of the nations of the former United States, magic enters people like a virus, mostly killing them. In this case though, the result is a disintegrated America with magical elite, witching training centers, and an intriguing form of science-based magic. Turns out it’s a YA dystopian-superhero mashup with an interesting twist, reminiscent of the alien virus that leaves people twisted or with superpowers in George R.R. My advance copy arrived months ago I must have picked it up and put it down half a dozen times before I finally gave it a try. I gotta admit, the cover of Victoria Lee’s debut science fiction novel The Fever King doesn’t really grab me.
