A review by fulchera
The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg

4.0

From the very beginning I was thrown into a new world without much pretense and my heart sighed. Would this too be a disappointment? However I was gladly proven wrong. While it didn't give me much to go on at first, the story slowly built upon itself. Albeit very simple, it didn't need to be very dramatic to be charming. I loved the writing style. It delightfully surprised me, working backwards to build a beautiful world of magic I was clueless about the first 10 pages. The excerpt in the back had me itching to read the sequel! I give it 4 stars just because while I loved the plot and the writing style and throughly enjoyed it, I feel
like it could have been very easily broadened and expanded. It's simplicity was just a tad bit lacking. Otherwise wonderful book :)
