The Glass Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg

The Glass Magician (The Paper Magician, #2)

by Charlie N. Holmberg

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.

Initial thoughts: Well, well, well... Turns out that I liked The Glass Magician slightly better than The Paper Magician. That's something. In fact, without that narration, it's a pretty decent book. But the narration! Goodness. It really grated on my nerves. Occasionally it was so jarring, I considered abandoning the book. But audiobooks aren't as easy to come by as written books (printed books and ebooks), so I pressed on anyway. I think I will read The Master Magician after it comes out later this year but it'll be the Kindle version. No way am I subjecting myself to another audiobook in the series.
