Of Feathers and Thorns

De: Kit Vincent

Narrado por: James Fouhey

After manifesting thorned magic and nearly destroying his hometown, Kieren Belltower is summoned to join the Magic Service—an institution in charge of magical affairs—and start an apprenticeship with a high-ranking magician. But instead of the mage assigned to teach him, Kieren is greeted by his haughty and annoyingly handsome senior apprentice Esten, who clearly has more important things to do than chaperone some newbie.

Their teacher has disappeared on a secret assignment, leaving Esten no instructions other than a warning not to trust a soul. But as Kieren's unruly magic proves too dangerous to leave unattended, Esten has no choice but to involve him in the matter. Together they retrace their teacher's last known mission—an investigation into the illegal use of magic and its connection to the devastating phenomenon known as the sludge, which has plagued the country for weeks.

But as Kieren and Esten grow closer, they uncover a plot that thrusts their lives into danger and threatens to shatter everything they know about magic and the world they were born into.

Set in alternative 1900s America, Of Feathers and Thorns is perfect for fans of Carry On and A Marvelous Light.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Packed with adventure, swoony romance, and of course, magic. This book will enchant you!” (Adriana Mather, NYT best-selling author of How to Hang a Witch)

Exciting and Approachable

I meant to listen to a bit of this book and wanted to save the rest. I failed. I listened to it from one evening and into the next day. I sampled plenty of fantasy novels and most of the narrators were painfully distracting from the content. James Fouhey delivered the story masterfully. Kit’s writing was approachable while still building a world full of magic. I was rooting for the protagonists and hoping stage antagonists reaped whatever karmic Justice was owed to them—I noticed a lot of parallels between the current climate we live in, but it wasn’t distracting. This has a little bit of everything, and I’d say it’s well worth the read or listen. I’m excited to read more from Kit.

Hoping for more!!!!!

I saw this title as a suggestion on my Amazon books list. Thought I would give it a shot fell in love, I read it all in one sitting cannot wait for more.
