A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians (Shadow Histories, #1)

by H. G. Parry

A sweeping tale of revolution and wonder in a world not quite like our own, A Declaration of the Rights of Magicians is a genre-defying story of magic, war, and the struggle for freedom.

It is the Age of Enlightenment -- of new and magical political movements, from the necromancer Robespierre calling for revolution in France to the weather mage Toussaint L'Ouverture leading the slaves of Haiti in their fight for freedom, to the bold new Prime Minister William Pitt weighing the legalization of magic amongst commoners in Britain and abolition throughout its colonies overseas.

But amidst all of the upheaval of the enlightened world, there is an unknown force inciting all of human civilisation into violent conflict. And it will require the combined efforts of revolutionaries, magicians, and abolitionists to unmask this hidden enemy before the whole world falls to chaos.

An interesting take on historical events mixed with magicians, army of the undead and vampires. It on the long side so at times I found myself wandering and not as fully engaged with the novel as I like to be. If your into historical novels with a twist this just might be your cup of tea but read in small doses at a time. Not. A binge read at least for me.
