A good deal of to-ing and fro-ing and the pacing is rather even with bouts of action followed by slow wind downs and there is a fair amount of subverting expectations, but then not. Well, on my second read I remembered absolutely nothing, but am not surprised because while the characters were fairly good and the setting and issues interesting, the hooks were just not very sharp. It was good but it didn’t capture me the way the first book–A College of Magics–did. This book takes us, and Jane, to Glasscastle, where Jane naturally gets involved in something big. It was a fun book, with banter and danger and Jane being Jane and I very much enjoyed it. I wasn’t prepared to have a male character take center stage but I liked Samuel, I liked seeing Jane, Glasscastle, and England through his American “cowboy” eyes. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"An intriguing, not-so-different early 20th-century alternate world where magic works unobtrusively. . . . Strikingly set, pleasingly peopled, and cleverly plotted."--Kirkus Reviews starred review "The setting is delightful: a never-never 1908 very like our own, where little countries with names like Galazon, Aravis and Haydock coexist with the France, England and Spain we know, and magic is taught (along with posture and geography) at Greenlaw College off the coast of Normandy. Stevermer blends these elements deftly."--The Washington Post "Stevermer proves to have a gifted touch . . . To call a book an instant classic is a large hat for a novel to be forced to wear in its publishing infancy, but I don't doubt, all the same, that A College of Magics will endure as a favorite of discerning readers for a very long time indeed."

Jane Brailsford, who we met in book 1, is one of the viewpoint characters in this book, which I couldn't tell from the blurb; and I therefore liked the book better than I expected to from its description.
