The Glass Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg

5.0

The Glass Magician is the second book in The Paper Magician series. After defeating Lira, Ceony Twill is now back under the wings of Emery Thane, who teaches her various spells performed with the use of paper. Things start to get complicated when an explosion happens in a paper factory that Ceony was currently visiting with the other students.

It turns out that two powerful magicians are trying to track her down so that they can bring Lira back and find out what Ceony did to put her under such a spell.

Throughout the majority of the book Ceony is trying to figure out whether or not Emery loves her back. She confessed her feelings for him a while ago and now she wants to know if the feeling is mutual. In addition, such relationships between a magician and his apprentice are looked down upon.

I really like how Ceony is not afraid to take things into her own hands. When she is forbidden from contributing in on a case she asks her friend Delilah to help her find the criminal. She would rather take action than sit and worry and blame herself for everything that happened.

I really like this series. It's so different that the standard books about magic and such a pleasant read too!
