This book is described as a cross between Georgette Heyer and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel. It is neither as charming and funny as Heyer, nor as beautifully intricate as Norrel, but it was still a fun read. Set in an alternative Regency England where a magical woman, in a time when women were not considered strong enough to handle magic, and a black man, president of the country's magical society and struggling with many prejudices and obstacles, lives become intertwined.
