The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg

3.0

This starts out really well and loses it a bit by 75%, imo - there's just a bit too much wandering around at about this point, and then an abrupt finish. I like the magic system, it's very neat, but the Victorian setting doesn't quite ring true, as though the research has skimped a little. Overall the plot is very much Garth Nix's Sabriel - right down to the paper glider - but not as dark, despite trying hard to be so.

If you're looking for something in the Kindle Prime Lending Library, you could do a lot worse, though!
