For once, a what I'm reading Wednesday
Jun. 8th, 2016 10:02 pmWell, a bit about a book I have read recently, if that counts.
The Grand Tour by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer
I was a little confused at the start of reading this, but no wonder as it’s nearly three years since I read Sorcery and Cecilia, to which it is a sequel. Anyway, I got over the confusion quickly. It’s a lot of fun, the Regency tone rarely falters and the inserted alternate magical history worked for me. There’s also an Amelia Peabody series sense of everybody needing to be in on the action, with councils of war and a retinue of servants becoming ever more involved and everyone playing their part.

It is not going to take as long for me to read 'The Mislaid Magician'.
I hope.
