The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg
3.0

This book was super intriguing for me immediately. I mean the description it just sounded awesome. I was left having enjoyed it, but not loving it overall. I think that Holmberg did an amazing job crafting the start of a world that I want to live in! Well okay besides the victorian stuff, but seriously the magic system is awesome.

I was left a bit put off by how quickly she fell in love with Emery, BUT I think it's important to remember that the book is rather short (under 300 pages). So there isn't a lot of room for that to develop.

I'm pretty excited to read book 2, but this for me gets a middling review of 3. A lot was missing, but I actually appreciated how quick it was to read.
