Sorcery and Spells

How it reads

Sorcery and Spells is fantasy (romantic fantasy, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in an invented world, in no single period, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are power and politics, identity and redemption. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 163 pages it's a single-sitting book. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
