I liked the beginning of the book as it brought back elements of the last book that I love, however about 75% in I almost wanted to just stop completely. Ceony seemed to turn into this pathetic, whinny, love sick know-it-all girl. It was disgusting. I hate to see a strong heroine in a book just be reduced to something like this. Ceony does something dangerous and makes a mistake that puts people in danger and yet she gets all sulky when people get upset. I almost left it on the DNR list, but I powered through. There is a third and final installment however with how Ceony turned in this one I wonder how she would be in the third book The Master Magician. She need to just understand she is still an apprentice, she doesn't even know all the spells of her craft. I honestly didn't mind the unfurling romance between Ceony and Emery in the beginning. I thought it was cute (even if she is technically his student), but it seemed that it made Ceony not be able to trust that Emery can take care of himself and caused her to make rash and wrong decisions. This book was not horrible by any means however you could say I may be over reacting. I am going to have to think about reading the third book, I almost feel like I have to. This wasn't as good as the first book, I don't think, but it was certainly worth reading. In the first book, I was relieved that the heroine didn't go on some foolish quest for which she was wildly overconfident and underprepared, and from which she needed to be rescued. The newbie-who-thinks-they're-all-that-but-has-no-business-taking-on-the-bad-guy trope is so overdone and tiresome, that I was relieved when the first book didn't have that. But this one did. Oh, Ceony, you brave fool, just like all the other modern heroines. Aside from that part of the book, though, I did really like it and look forward to continuing Ceony's journey in the third.

I still really enjoyed this book, but some of its aspects grate, so much so that I can't let them go. Between stupid plot devices, overused character tropes, and an uncertain time period, I got bogged down and lost sight of the things that I love about this book: Emery and Ceony's relationship, the magic and world-building, and of course, Fennel. I truly hope that the last book in the trilogy is an improvement over this installment, but I doubt it can match the magical feeling I got while reading the first book. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

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.

That said, the story is well written, interesting and I'm loving the magic system.
