The Master Magician

The Paper Magician, Book 3

De: Charlie N. Holmberg

Narrado por: Amy McFadden

Throughout her studies, Ceony Twill has harbored a secret, one she's kept from even her mentor, Emery Thane. She's discovered how to practice forms of magic other than her own - an ability long thought impossible.

While all seems set for Ceony to complete her apprenticeship and pass her upcoming final magician's exam, life quickly becomes complicated. To avoid favoritism, Emery sends her to another paper magician for testing, a Folder who despises Emery and cares even less for his apprentice. To make matters worse, a murderous criminal from Ceony's past escapes imprisonment. Now she must track the power-hungry convict across England before he can take his revenge. With her life and loved ones hanging in the balance, Ceony must face a criminal who wields the one magic that she does not, and it may prove more powerful than all her skills combined.

The whimsical and captivating follow-up to The Paper Magician and The Glass Magician, The Master Magician will enchant readers of all ages.

yes

loved all three. ended well. very happy with the outcome, abd I would for there to be a sequel.

Sexist much?

So. Well written cool concepts. But the main characters love arch is to be inferior to her teacher, serve him, and chase him. I just detest the idea of a strong female lead waiting on a man. ... oh because she loves to cook? Doesn't even. Price when she's cleaning. Author is a man you say? No shock there.

A Unique Magical Series

The ending to the Paper Magician series was a bit of everything, literally. In some cases good, but I think the initial book in Holmberg's series gave the most hope. This one gave us the most action and the second really gave us the better sense of villainy. I think that all of the ingredients to a mesmerizing world are present, just not all mixed together in the right proportions. Still, I love the magical ideas she has created and love to suggest it to anyone interested in magic.

I like the whole series.

I love the stories and the characters were wonderful. Amy McFadden really pulled you into the story. everything was delightful.

Magically good

Loved it! Didn't even want to pause to get something to eat. Very good performance.

Solid end to a good series

Story was good, magic inventive, characters show a bit of growth (kind of), a nice wrap to the series.

My only complaint? For some reason the narrator sounds like she was popping Valium. Adjusted the speed up and plowed through, probably would have enjoyed it more and reviewed it better it she had done better this book.

Love love love

A love story that is full of mystery, comedy, self discovery and just a good love story. Good for any age. Could not put it down. Fantastic series.

Absolutely beautiful

Wow!! What a ride! So glad i selected this series as my Sunday listen! A definite recommend.

Why Must It Be Over?

Oh good lord my heart. My heart is a wreck. I yearn for more between the two main characters, and yet I am happy with where we were left off. Honestly, I would love a trilogy from the perspective of Emery because I really want to know what is going through his mind. He first came off as harsh, almost like someone who cannot reciprocate the feelings that the other person has for them and has to let that person down easy. Then, in this book he is suddenly as infatuated as Ceony and to be frank, it confused me but I let it happen without restraint. I think it's because I really just needed to see them happily together to fill a little space in my heart. In regards to the romance, I believe I am finally satisfied.

However, now with the main chunk of the story which is the investigating, I find myself a little annoyed (?). I don't quite think that is the word for it, but I'm going to stick to it. I read a review on another site that complained that the way Ceony investigated seemed so easy, and I agree. If she could do these very simple things and find the suspect this easily, why couldn't the actual, hired investigators. Are we to believe that the only good investigators that Mg. Hughes ever had was Thane? The lack of initiative and knowledge on the government's side made a little sense in that I'm sure we all know how long it takes governments to agree on plans, and then initiate them. Yet still, I found myself desperately wanting Ceony to take a back seat just to see what Criminal Affairs would be able to do.

So ends the Paper Magician trilogy, and honestly I am sad. I hate being "that reader" but gosh darn it, I crave more! Like I said before, a set of books in the perspective of Emery would be so fascinating, and would probably help with understanding his relationship to Ceony a bit better.

love love love

I really enjoyed this book. I wanted to hit Ceony over the head myself a time or two. it had a very satisfying ending.
