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.
If you’ve read my reviews of The Paper Magician and The Glass Magician ,
then it will come as no surprise that, foregoing all other worthy pursuits, I instead elected to binge-read the entire trilogy in one
weekend. That’s really all you need to
know and should spur you to pick up the first book, if not all three. Being the finale, The Master Magician of
course ties up all loose ends, including romantic ones. However, my reading
satisfaction stems from the fact that Ceony really grows in power and skill in
this final installment as she explores the other magical disciplines in secret
while studying for her test to become a proper magician. Like the others, The Master Magician is clever
and exciting and more than ever left me wanting my own animated paper dog
(Fennel, I will miss you!)
