The Glass Magician (The Paper Magician Trilogy #2) By: Charlie N. Holmberg

Plot:

Three months after returning Magician Emery Thane’s heart to his body, Ceony Twill is well on her way to becoming a Folder. Unfortunately, not all of Ceony’s thoughts have been focused on paper magic. Though she was promised romance by a fortuity box, Ceony still hasn’t broken the teacher-student barrier with Emery, despite their growing closeness.

When a magician with a penchant for revenge believes that Ceony possesses a secret, he vows to discover it…even if it tears apart the very fabric of their magical world. After a series of attacks target Ceony and catch those she holds most dear in the crossfire, Ceony knows she must find the true limits of her powers…and keep her knowledge from falling into wayward hands.

The delightful sequel to Charlie N. Holmberg’s The Paper Magician, The Glass Magician will charm readers young and old alike.

Review:

Once again I love this cover, I wonder if that has anything to do with my enjoyment of it? Does it put me in the right mind frame to read? I don’t know, I might think about that one day.

Lovely world, Ceony still kind of confuses me. She has a photographic memory, basically, and is supposed to be very smart, but as soon as Emery is threatened she throws caution to the wind. She even puts others in danger because of that and doesn’t realize it until it’s too late. It’s kind of annoying, but it’s annoying character wise. I think it’s still within the bounds of her character.

Not much movement on the romance plot which caused me to buy the next book way too late and had to force myself to stop reading. Kind of sad that it’s the last book in the series and hope I get a lot of closure.

4/5
