City of Stolen Magic by Nazneen Ahmed Pathak

4.0

City of Stolen Magic is a fantastic middle-grade fantasy adventure. With a well-imagined magical system, enchanting worldbuilding and compelling characters, I was swept up in Chompa's story. Her journey, from a small village in India to the seat of the Victorian empire in London allows for an interesting exploration of British colonialism for a young audience, with a fantasy twist.

Vivid and fast-paced with a courageous young heroine, City of Stolen Magic is a spellbinding debut and I couldn't put it down.

*Thank you to Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review*
