Publisher's summary

Reality’s newest sorcerer doesn’t want trouble, but it finds her anyway.

Just when Kira thinks she is getting a handle on what it means to be a sorcerer, the Emperor calls and drops a bundle of trouble in her lap. And he’s not the only one.

For a woman intent on protecting her privacy, a whole lot of people seem to know how to contact Kira to draw her into their problems. But when one of those problems involves saving children’s lives, how can Kira refuse to help?

Magic is misbehaving across Reality and Kira sets out to discover why. Her allies stand ready to help—and hinder—as she traverses the paths of Reality in a House, which is developing its own quirky personality.

House in Hiding is a compelling and original fantasy novel of multiple worlds and beguiling mystery in the tradition of Ursula Le Guin and Diana Wynne Jones.

Nice series

This novel has interesting characters and world building. It is interesting but not a great fit for heavy reading. This may be a better marketed for teens and young adults. Not bad but not very deep.

A great, cozy read great world/universe building and characters.

I find myself returning to this series when I need a good ‘cozy’ read. Sorcerer Kira may be going through hell as she processes her grief and the events that lead her to create her house, but the writing is upbeat, as she discovers the wider universe beyond Earth, and begins creating her found family.

While I think it’s technically urban fantasy, it’s a very different take on the multiverse concept. There’s a touch of romance (strangers to friends to something more), but all spice is off-page.

Jenny Schwartz Fan!

I am really enjoying Jenny Schwartz’s Uncertain Sanctuary series. Tess Irondale did a wonderful telling this story. I am excited to listen to book 3 in the series. If you are a fan of women, sci-fi authors with unique approaches this is a great listen for you. If you are looking for a family friendly series, this is a great option as well.

cliffhanger

I really like this series, but am seriously annoyed that this book ended on a cliff hanger.
