A Marvellous Light

I just ADORED basically everything about this - the characters, the world-building, the magic system, the beautiful prose, the ~yearning~ between the two idiots, and the lovely cover! HOWEVER, I am disheartened to find out that the rest of the series does not follow Edwin and Robin, as I thought their particular relationships with the Big Bads, plus their individual character journeys, would have been fascinating to explore further. And for me, it's difficult to find a better pairing than sunshine himbo/grumpy librarian. HOWEVER AGAIN, I really love Maud and I'm intrigued to see how things progress, so I will be finishing the series at some point.

One final note: normally, someone saying that a book is ~spicy~ means very little to me, since the absurd amount of fanfic I've consumed in my life has warped my brain, but....yeah, this is spicy! Definitely don't read if you prefer fade-to-black, closed door romance.

Overall, 4.5 magic cradles out of 5, rounded up.
