A Matter of Magic by Patricia C. Wrede
4.0
A Matter of Magic is composed of two books: Mairelon the Magician and The Magician's Ward. The former begins with Kim, a street thief, breaking into a street magician's wagon and quickly discovering he is a real wizard. Despite the dubious circumstances of their acquaintance, Mairelon asks Kim to join him on his quest to clear his name. The latter continues their adventures, as she becomes his ward and is thrust into London high society.
I loved both books. The characters are fun and endearing. I thought I had read one of the two books 5-10 years ago, but I might have read both of them. I remember most of the characters, and I'm certain I read The Magician's Ward since I recalled the plot and many of the scenes. However, the first few chapters of Mairelon the Magician seem familiar as well.
