Description
Dead wizards, stolen enchantments, and broken promises force a young spellbreaker out of the shadows in the next thrilling installment of the Spellbreaker series by the bestselling author of The Paper Magician.
England, 1895. An unsolved series of magician murders and opus thefts isn’t a puzzle to Elsie Camden. But to reveal a master spellcaster as the culprit means incriminating herself as an unregistered spellbreaker. When Elsie refuses to join forces with the charming assassin, her secret is exposed, she’s thrown in jail, and the murderer disappears. But Elsie’s hope hasn’t vanished.
Through a twist of luck, the elite magic user Bacchus Kelsey helps Elsie join the lawful, but with a caveat: they must marry to prove their cover story. Forced beneath a magical tutor while her bond with Bacchus grows, Elsie seeks to thwart the plans of England’s most devious criminal―if she can find them.
With hundreds of stolen spells at their disposal, the villain has a plan―and it involves seducing Elsie to the dark side. But even now that her secret is out, Elsie must be careful how she uses the new abilities she’s discovering, or she may play right into the criminal’s hands.

The magic system is so interesting but was never fully explored or explained and seemed almost a secondary plot. The middle dragged a little and the „final conlfict“ felt a little sudden (why was the FMC character suddenly able to cast a spell?). The setup for the „villain“ could have been the main plotline for the whole book and was mentioned far too late into the story.
3.5/5 Late Victorian England and magic? Sign me up. The MCs are cute and have a solid background, a slow forming relationship between them keeps them together. The magis system is interesting, yet lacks a little explanation here and there. The only problem I had was with pacing and story telling. The middle of the book was a little slow moving for me, but the ending sets us up beautifully for the second book.
