This is the 10th book in the Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic series by Ohtaka. This book was more exciting than the 9th volume in the series but not quite as action packed as the 8th.
In this book Aladdin, Alibaba, and their friends venture into a new Dungeon on Tran Island. The Dungeon is like no other they have ever encountered before and seems to contain a whole world inside. The dungeon is run by the slightly crazy Zagan. Will Aladdin and his friends be able to circumnavigate all of Zagan’s crazy traps and defeat the dungeon?
This book is mainly our characters trying to defeat a dungeon. This was one of the strangest books in this series so far. The Zagan Dungeon is full of creepily cute animals/people that end up being strangely vicious.
There is a lot of action and we finally get to see Morgiana use her Vessel to help in the fight. The Kou Prince also shows off some of his Ki fighting techniques.
Overall this is a good installment in the series, I enjoyed it. There’s a lot of action and a couple fun new characters. I am curious to see where the story goes from this point on.
