A review by colossal
Brother's Ruin by Emma Newman
4.0
I'm on a bit of a roll lately with liking the latest offerings from authors I've read before.
It's 1850 and England's industrial revolution owes everything to the Royal Society of Esoteric Studies. The mages are powerful and wealthy, but they have little freedom and are forbidden to marry or pursue anything other than magic. So Charlotte Gunn is absolutely determined that no-one will find out that she's both a mage and a powerful one. But when her father runs into financial trouble and her brother faces testing as a mage, she comes into far more proximity to mages than she would like.
This was fun and a lot lighter than the other stuff of Newman's that I've read. Charlie is a great heroine and I really look forward to seeing what she gets up to next.
