Review: Spellmaker

Spellmaker by Charlie N. Holmberg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At the end of the first book Elsie and Bacchus have identified who is behind the murders of wizards and thefts of their opuses, they have even freed Ogden of her influence. But they can't expose her without also exposing the fact that Elsie is an unlicensed spellbreaker and Ogden is a power unlicensed master rational aspector.

Unfortunately, Master Merton strikes first and denounces Elsie as a rogue spellbreaker, she is arrested and thrown in prison. Only Bacchus' quick wits and tongue manage to save, with the romantic plot twist that he can vouch for Elsie because they are engaged to be married! Now Elsie must pretend to be a novice and undergo training as a spellbreaker in order to become legitimised.

With the mysterious American, a fake engagement, a shock betrayal, family reunions, kidnapping, and spells, spells, spells this is just as fast-paced and fun as the first book.
