The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg
2.0

Hmmmmmmmm......good, but not great? This is too blatantly a romance novel first and fantasy second. There are some really good things about the book--the idea of having to travel through a heart is interesting, but even that has to serve the greater good of moving the romance forward. Ceony comes to apprentice with Emory Thane. All kinds of drama are hinted at and alluded to. Thane's ex comes and steals his heart, and Ceony has to go and get it back. To give credit where credit is due, Ceony is NOT a wimp, which is refreshing.
