The Song of the Quarkbeast
by Jasper Fforde
3.5 stars
This is the second book in Fforde's Chronicles of Kazam trilogy. It's written for young readers but it's a lot of fun for adults. I read the first book about a year and a half ago but for some reason hadn't continued with the series. I decided it was time to finish it.
Jennifer Strange is still managing the Kazam House of Enchantment and is essentially an agent for the sorcerers who work and live there. The other house is called Industrial Magic and between the two they manage the only eight licensed sorcerers on the planet. Thanks to the events of the first book there has been a return of magic to the Ununited Kingdom but it's still not widespread.
The leader of the other house is plotting with the King to control magic for profit. A challenge between the two houses involving rebuilding a bridge will determine which side will win.
These books are witty and fun and full of interesting characters and creatures. You don't have to be a kid to enjoy them.
