I also loved the concepts of the world building. I really enjoyed the relationship between Ceony and Thane and can’t wait to see how that grows in future sequels. I’ll be honest, the romance here wasn’t really romance but rather mutual respect that grew between teacher and student (despite their age difference). Quirky friends to almost lovers romance.The premise sounded right up my alley and I love her writing style. I picked this book up after I read Spellbreaker by Charlie N. To save her teacher’s life, Ceony must face the evil magician and embark on an unbelievable adventure that will take her into the chambers of Thane’s still-beating heart-and reveal the very soul of the man. But as she discovers these wonders, Ceony also learns of the extraordinary dangers of forbidden magic.Īn Excisioner-a practitioner of dark, flesh magic-invades the cottage and rips Thane’s heart from his chest. Yet the spells Ceony learns under the strange yet kind Thane turn out to be more marvelous than she could have ever imagined-animating paper creatures, bringing stories to life via ghostly images, even reading fortunes. And once she’s bonded to paper, that will be her only magic…forever. Having graduated at the top of her class from the Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined, Ceony is assigned an apprenticeship in paper magic despite her dreams of bespelling metal. Ceony Twill arrives at the cottage of Magician Emery Thane with a broken heart.
