Ceony, the main Heroine of the story, at first to me seemed like a spoiled little brat, she doesn’t want to become a paper magician (but to be honest when they say the other types of magic you could bond to, you probably wouldn’t either) but she seemed downright rude in the beginning, however as she warms up to her new magic I found myself warming up to Ceony. She is the type of main character who you find yourself connecting to, whose flaws and strengths seem to reflect your own.

Holmberg’s writing was great making sure to keep you interested, I like that despite the seriousness of the situation that Ceony finds herself in, Holmberg kept her wit and kept Ceony in character and made her react to problems in a believable way.

I also like how detailed Holmberg is, in The Paper Magician, giving you enough so you can imagine yourself (if you wanted to) in the book but at the same time not shoving every little thing down your throat. One thing I found that peeved me a little was the climax at the end, it felt a tiny bit rushed. I was hoping for a bit more use of the magic, especially Ceony. The Excisioner was described as overpowered and scary however with the ease she was dispatched was a bit disappointing.

I do recommend this book as I enjoyed it immensely, as a matter of fact, I am already reading the second book The Glass Magician.

I liked the beginning of the book as it brought back elements of the last book that I love, however about 75% in I almost wanted to just stop completely. Ceony seemed to turn into this pathetic, whinny, love sick know-it-all girl. It was disgusting. I hate to see a strong heroine in a book just be reduced to something like this.

Ceony does something dangerous and makes a mistake that puts people in danger and yet she gets all sulky when people get upset. I almost left it on the DNR list, but I powered through.

There is a third and final installment however with how Ceony turned in this one I wonder how she would be in the third book The Master Magician. She need to just understand she is still an apprentice, she doesn't even know all the spells of her craft. I honestly didn't mind the unfurling romance between Ceony and Emery in the beginning. I thought it was cute (even if she is technically his student), but it seemed that it made Ceony not be able to trust that Emery can take care of himself and caused her to make rash and wrong decisions. This book was not horrible by any means however you could say I may be over reacting.

I am going to have to think about reading the third book, I almost feel like I have to.

It was ok. One plot sequence just went on and on and on, and I kept wondering if that part would end. I’ll read the rest of the series, but so far it is not nearly as enjoyable as the author’s Whimbrel House books.

Interesting story about reversing the roles of human and Trolls. It is an OK book, but I am not a fan
