Critics' Consensus

“Books of Magic #1 delivers an engaging and accessible reboot with strong characterization, but relies heavily on familiar magical-school tropes that lack originality. The execution is solid enough to satisfy genre fans, though longtime readers may find the retconning confusing and unoriginal.”
