A Marvellous Light
by Freya Marske
Freya Marske's A Marvellous Light was, quite honestly, a marvellous read. It brings together two very different people; affable but un-magical Robin Blyth and the guarded, studious magician Edwin Courcey. Together, they undertake a quest to solve a murder and end up uncovering a plot that puts all of Britain's magicians in peril! But perhaps, if they're lucky, they'll find happily ever after along the way.
This is the first book in an expected trilogy, and I for one am excited to see Edwin and Robin's world fleshed out in greater detail. I was a bit surprised at how quickly our heroes fell in love, and am looking forward to seeing some deeper connection in the following books. The secondary characters caught my attention as well--I hope we'll get a bit more of Maude and Miss Morrissey in the future.
Overall, A Marvellous Light was a fun start to a series that has serious potential. It's definitely geared toward adults rather than YA, and gets extremely steamy, so be prepared! Recommended for Bridgerton enthusiasts that want something a bit more serious (and magical) than your average historical romance, and fans of C. L. Polk and Natasha Pulley.
