The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg

4.0

Interesting story. Apprentice magicians are bonded to a particular material: paper Folders, metal Smelters, etc. Folding is the least interesting material, so when Ceony is apprenticed to Folding, she isn't too impressed. Of course, once she settles down to learn some Folding magic, life is actually pretty good. But of course, things aren't meant to stay like that.
I enjoyed the slow reveal of Ceony's past (as well as Magician Thane's, which was a bit more thorough since his memories are explored) and the story picked up pace quickly after the opening.
