The railway lines are wreaking havoc with ancient underground magical ley lines, which could endanger the very unity of England.

The letters between Kate and Cecy, and between their husbands, blend magic, mystery, adventure, humor, and romance.

Column Based On Books The Mislaid Magician; or, Ten Years After (Cecelia and Kate #3)

Cecy and Kate have become staid married mothers, at least in their own estimation, but that does not stop another adventure from enfolding them. Cecy is now an experienced magician while Kate only knows the few spells that she really cares about, but happily she is back to the same feisty person she was in the first book. There is a lot going on here with mysterious seemingly unconnected events happening to the cousins on opposite ends of the country which, it slowly emerges, are not so

One star is probably too harsh but two stars...can't do it. Again, this suffers because none of our characters are really in danger - in the first book - there was a powerful magician trying to kill Kate and Thomas - and Cecy takes on a powerful magician trying to take Thomas's magic. It's not that things don't happen to them in this story but it is only a by product of their investigation - not a direct attack because of who they specifically are.In the first book - the story is told between

I wanted this to be better than it was... I adore the first one, I liked the second one almost as much, and this wasn't bad - but it could have been better. To their credit, their use of "Drina" was accurate, which pleased me very much. I'd love to see them do additional titles that occur between the second and third volumes in the series.

This one took me a loooooooong time to get to. It wasn't bad, as such, just didn't entertain me like the previous two did. A somewhat disappointing end to an otherwise extremely fun series.

This third book in the Regency fantasy series Cecelia and Kate is cute but forgettable. The series falls off in quality as it goes along.

The third in the series started by Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot (a book that was out of print for many years and only enjoys its current revival thanks to the popularity bestowed to youth fantasy by a certain British author and her bespectacled wizardy brat), this book joins the apparently growing genre of period fantasy written in the style of Jane Austen (the only other example of which I know is Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange Mr Norrell).If you really enjoy this genre

Don't get me wrong--even though I didn't rate this book as highly, I did enjoy reading it. Kate and Cecy feel like old friends, and spending a little time with them is always fun. It's just that I think long-termed wedded bliss is hard to write in an interesting way (not impossible, just hard) and for me it felt like a little bit of the spark was missing. Kate and Cecy as young moms just didn't feel quite as engaging--although the kids were cute!I did like the plot, which was nice and twisty and
