A review by wearecurrentlyreading
Boy of Chaotic Making by Charlie N. Holmberg

5.0

The Whimbrel House series strikes again with another fantastic installment. I love getting to see Merrit and Hulda’s relationship grow, their magic become more refined, and Owein becoming a more well rounded character. Out of the three books in the series thus far, Boy of Chaotic Making is the “lightest”, without the same level of frantic mystery, danger, or gruesome, dark magic at play. Instead, the characters travel in London after receiving a hard to resist proposal. Of course it wouldn’t be a Whimbrel House story without some chaotic mystery afoot (with near death experiences), however they aren’t fraught with the same fears or dangers as the previous books. It was also lovely (to only myself) because the story takes place on and around my birthday (March 5th) which just always feels like a warm hug. 

While reading Boy of Chaotic Making, I gasped, I grinned, I laughed, and I teared up. It is a whimsical historical fantasy story with the perfect touch of romance and adventure. I love these characters and this world that Charlie has created. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next installment. 

This is also the first book in this series that I listened to the audiobook — which was also absolutely lovely. I’m always eternally grateful that the narration is included with Kindle Unlimited!
