A Matter of Magic by Patricia C. Wrede
3.0
I haven't read anything by Patricia C. Wrede in y e a r s. I recall loving her books about Cimorene as a young woman. Her writing style is just fantastic.
To note: this is a short story followed by a longer novella wrapped into one book. Good value.
I enjoyed the way Wrede brought magic into the world and how that has an impact on society, though also the way she describes and organizes her magic system is quite lively and fun. On that note, she seems to have written another series in this same world (coming back to say I ADORED it) - it's an epistolary tale: [b:Sorcery & Cecelia: or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot|64207|Sorcery & Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot (Cecelia and Kate, #1)|Patricia C.
