as magicians bond to certain man made materials like paper, glass, steel, etc and once bonded they can use them For example the main protagonist, Ceony can make a paper bird and it will then come to life and she can use it to scout for danger or find a person.The setting is England around Victorian ...This book honestly has A LOT of promise The writing isn t bad, even if there were many times I didn t feel the author was true to time period or location The subject matter was interesting and I liked the idea of the world of magic being split this way, bonding to a specific medium It was also

time or place just saying it is set in England at the turn of the 20th Century doesn t make it so It is very hard to get into it when everything sounds like modern day language and dialogue It sounds exactly how people speak today Even when the story told me the year and the place, I had a hard time feeling it Read D H Lawrence s Sons and Lovers That s how A note before I start the review If the

trying to think of what was wrong with this book and the only thing I could come up with is that is too wishy washy When all the details, from the magic rules to the setting to the time to the
