In 1837, as seventeen-year-old twins, Persephone and Penelope, are starting their first London Season they find that their beloved governess, who has taught them everything they know about magic, has disappeared.
Caramellunacy: A similar fun historical fantasy feel. Sorcery and Cecelia involves the two protagonists using their wits, no-nonsense attitudes, and a little supernatural ability to thwart a wizarding plot against the crown. It's very entertainingly told through letters back and forth.… (mehr)
If books are dessert, this one's a truffle. It's light, predictable and enjoyable. The characters are intrinsically enjoyable, realistic, and likeable- they are multi-faceted and never rapidly switch motivation. Doyle's crafted a water-tight YA history/fantasy here. I will definitely be reading the next one. ( )
This book was a little slow to start, as are most of the first books in a series, but the characters were very likable, and the plot was most enjoyable. I've read a lot of Regency Romance, and this added the intrigue of magic, which makes it more interesting because with magic, nothing is as it seems. ( )
I read the first 100 or so pages and then read the last 10 pages. I don't feel like I missed anything. I guess I can't really say I READ the book, but since I probably didn't miss anything, I'm calling it a "read". I grew tired of Percy's constant, "I'm not good enough," diatribe. Blah blah blah. While one reviewer said that it's exactly like a teenager feels, I think it's more appropriate for a new teenager...like 13...not someone who is almost 18 and "coming out". It was tiresome.

To Mom and Sherry and Liz and Hal and my Writer Sisters Janet and Doreen, who never said "if," but "when"; to my agent, Emily Sylvan Kim, who made the "when" into "now"; to Dick--my only sadness is that you're not here for this; and most of all, to Scott.
