review 1: I got this as an Amazon prime free book, and as such was not expecting a lot. It turned into a fun read...a cross between ABC's Once and Night Circus with a little Harry Potter fairy dust. It 's a rather typical YA fantasy, but that's not a criticism. It was mostly whimsical and then had bits of really gory bits that seemed a little jarring. That and the overused trope of the young girl falling for the much older guy, again, were my only criticisms. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the author was Mormon at the end.
review 2: Charlie N. Holmberg has a cute set of tales set in a Victorian England with magic. Magicians are bound to human-made material and have control over things made with that material. Ceony Twill graduated from the Tagis Praff Scho... moreol for the Magically Inclined and is apprenticed to Emery Thane, The Paper Magician (paper from 47North). Think origami with the ability to bring the folded paper to life. Mr. Thane is nice enough, but has an ex-wife who can work excision magic (magic using human blood) and she comes and literally steals Emery’s heart. Ceony has the presence of mind to make a paper heart and then chases after Lira. Unfortunately she ends up in a figurative version of his heart and has to view his memories, hopes, and disappointments before winning free and facing Lira.
