Något som kan bli bättre?


This is a question that often comes to our minds when we experience something. It makes us wonder if there is any room for improvement.


However, in this case, the response is a resounding "Nej, ingenting! 5/5 Stjärnor." which means "No, nothing! 5 out of 5 stars."


It indicates that the person is extremely satisfied with whatever it is they are referring to. There is no aspect that they think could be enhanced or made better.


This kind of positive feedback is rare and should be cherished. It shows that the product, service, or experience has met and exceeded the person's expectations.


It also serves as a testament to the quality and excellence of the offering. When someone is willing to give a perfect score, it means that they have been truly impressed.


In conclusion, while the question of "Något som kan bli bättre?" is always valid, it's refreshing to hear a response like "Nej, ingenting! 5/5 Stjärnor."

5 stars - English Ebook


Randal, an apprentice wizard, has made a serious mistake. He has broken his vow to never use a weapon. As a consequence, he is now unable to use magic until he is pardoned by a master wizard. This situation puts him in a difficult position and sets the stage for an exciting adventure.


This whole series is truly remarkable. It is fast-paced, filled with thrilling action that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. The wit and humor throughout the story add an extra layer of enjoyment. I have read the series multiple times, and it never fails to disappoint. Each reading is just as good as the last, with new details and nuances emerging.


In fact, I was so inspired by this series that I based a Dungeons and Dragons quest off a few of these stories. The unique characters, magical elements, and engaging plotlines made it the perfect source of inspiration for my own adventure. I highly recommend this English ebook series to anyone who loves fantasy, adventure, and a good dose of humor.

It's like a slightly less mature Harry Potter, with a unique story that leaves the reader longing for more and more.

\tThe vivid descriptions of the magical world, the interesting characters, and the exciting plot all combine to make this a truly engaging read. You can't help but be drawn into the story and root for the young protagonist as he faces various challenges and discovers his true potential.

\tWhether you're a fan of fantasy or just looking for a good book to escape into, this one is definitely worth checking out. It will transport you to a world of magic and wonder and leave you with a sense of excitement and anticipation for what's to come.

Spoilers ahead for School of Wizardry.


The story commences with Randal toiling away in the stables. He is determined to fulfill the quest that was mandated at the conclusion of School. His task is to seek out a senior wizard who can grant him permission to practice magic once more. However, he must do so without employing a bladed weapon or magic along the way.


Consequently, at an inn, Randal is assaulted by a knight who feels insulted. Fortunately, he is rescued by another knight. To his chagrin, this knight turns out to be his cousin Walter. Walter then takes him on as a squire, and they set off with the other knights towards the tourney.


Along the way, they encounter various difficulties, including troubles with bandits. Lys manages to find them with directions from Madoc. At the tourney, Walter is injured. Undeterred, they all continue their journey to locate the wizard, with the aim of freeing Randal and healing Walter.


This adventure involves a plethora of elements, such as dreams of animals, reading the wizard's diary, breaking into a tower known to have magical protections, and recovery from a fire. There are many more exciting and perilous moments that await the characters as they strive to achieve their goals.

Randal is 15 years old now. After just narrowly getting through his Apprenticeship, he sets off on the road as a Journey Man wizard. However, the road ahead is not easy for him as he has been banned from using magic.

To his great embarrassment, he runs into his cousin Walter, who is now a knight. Walter is not at all impressed with Randal as the only thing Randal can show him is a nasty scar from his battle with Master Laerg. Lys meets the two on the road and they travel together to a tournament that soon takes a sinister turn.

They rush to the Master Wizard who can grant Randal permission to use magic again, only to discover that a demon is possessing the wizard's tower.

"Secret of the Tower" is a continuation of the Circle of Magic series, a fantasy-adventure specifically designed for a younger audience. The plot unfolds smoothly as Randal continues on his path to become a Master wizard himself.
