Rendition In Favor Of Books A Matter of Magic (Mairelon #1-2)

When a stranger offers her a small fortune to break into a traveling magician’s wagon, Kim doesn’t hesitate. Having grown up a waif in the dirty streets of London, Kim isn’t above a bit of breaking-and-entering. A hard life and lean times have schooled her in one lesson: steal from them before they steal from you. But when the magician catches her in the act, Kim thinks she’s done for. Until he suggests she become his apprentice; then the real trouble begins.

Kim soon finds herself entangled with murderers, thieves, and cloak-and-dagger politics, all while trying to learn how to become both a proper lady and a magician in her own right. Magic and intrigue go hand in hand in Mairelon the Magician and The Magician’s Ward, two fast-paced novels filled with mystery and romance, set against the intricate backdrop of Regency England.

Comment On Based On Books A Matter of Magic (Mairelon #1-2)

There are no words for how much I adore this book.

This is an amazing series. I love the characters and it has a good plot. The only issue is that in the first book I couldn't understand everything that Kim says. I mean, she was raised in the streets in the bad part of London, and as such she has an accent and talks like a street thief, but I still don't know what she is talking about an eighth of the time. These books are great and I have read them about five times and recommend them really highly.

a volume combining "mairelon the magician" and "the magician's ward." i found it to be a bit of a mixed bag from book to book-mairelon the magician: kim is a street thief who passes as a boy to protect herself. she is hired to break into a street magician's wagon, discover if he owns a particular bowl, and report back. the titular magician, mairelon, catches her in the act and convinces her to work as his apprentice after falsely reporting that he doesn't have the bowl. from there, kim helps him

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I especially found the end of it hard to put down. I was disappointed that there are no more books featuring these two characters, as I would happily read more.

Didn't think this book was absolutely terrible, some parts were good but I felt it had so much detail that I was getting bored during chapters and wanted to just skip it. The romance in the book was not heaps as well and it was fine but it only started when it got to the endish of the book

Since the book is in two parts, so should my review be.Mairelon the Magician:3 starsAfter finishing Book 1, I am in desperate need for a break. My brain hurts! I am really enjoying the storyline, but I feel like I have just witnessed a parade and am now being forced to remember details of each member. I am resigned to the knowledge that I will never be able to recall most character's names or the part that they played. My eyes glazed over for most of the final scene, being completely unable to

Another marvelous set of characters from Wrede! Making magic commonplace in Regency England comes naturally for her. And although the story itself did not present surprisingly, the genre never tires of spunky, independent and feminine heroines. Kim and Mairelon are worth rooting for, as is the intertwining of wizardry and waltzes in the ever-judgemental ballrooms of the ton. Thouroughly enjoyable read.
