El mago de papel | Charlie N. Holmberg
Puede la magia salvar un corazn? Ceony Twill llega a la casa del mago Emery Thane con el corazn roto. Tras haberse graduado como la mejor de su clase en la Escuela Tagis Praff para Talentos Mgicos, la han asignado a Thane para que le ensee la magia de papel, a ella, que siempre haba soado con ser fusionadora y estudiar la magia de metal! Sin embargo, los hechizos que Ceony aprende con el peculiar pero amable Thane son ms maravillosos de lo que habra podido imaginar: insufla vida a criaturas de papel, hace realidad las imgenes de los cuentos e incluso lee el futuro. Pero una extirpadora, una practicante de la magia oscura y de sangre, entra en la vivienda y le arranca el corazn del pecho a Thane. Para salvar la vida de su profesor, Ceony deber enfrentarse a la cruel maga y embarcarse en una aventura increble que la llevar al interior del corazn de Thane, que sigue latiendo, y le revelar sus mayores secretos.

What is a paper magician to do when faced with those who deal in death? This was a bit gorier than I expected and I wish we knew more about the villains but as a short fantasy, it hit the spot with just enough heart and adventure.

There wasn‘t enough character development or background information to really like this book. I wanted too. I was almost there. Just not enough development for me. There were parts that were enjoyable and in different circumstances I would have loved it.

#WithMagic I picked this ebook up years ago because I‘m in love with the cover art and it‘s proceeded to sit on my kindle ever since… Has anyone read this? Is it worth dusting off soon? #TemptingTitles @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

MissHel I remember reading it, but I don‘t remember if I liked it! It was interesting world building, but that‘s all that stuck out. 2y
Eggs I‘ve not read it 🖤🤍❤️ 2y
ShananigansReads I loved it. Devoured the whole series back to back if I‘m recalling properly. 2y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I loved this trilogy. They‘re pretty short, if that helps, and I liked the magic system. There‘s a fourth companion one too - 2y

This is such an enchanting story! Ceony desperately wants to be a Smelter but is instead compelled to be a Folder. What power is there in paper? Much more than she bargains for. Any further descriptions would spoil this amazing magic tale. I‘m glad this is a series. I want more of this world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I listened to the audiobook. This had such promise but it was so disappointing. The premise is great, I love fantasy novels where magic is woven through average, every day life. But the execution left much to be desired. I think the world-building was pretty good, not great, but good. But the characters are shallow and two-dimensional, their back stories rushed, and their interactions felt totally false. Also, I didn't love the narrator.

Ceony just graduated from magic school and is disappointed that she has been placed as an apprentice to a paper magician when her heart was set on controlling steel. Once you bond with your material there's no switching. But then her new teacher is attacked by a dark magic Excisioner and she must use what little she has learned to save him.
I thought this was a good story, if a little predictable. But I enjoyed the way magic worked in this world.

The first in the trilogy, Ceony Twill arrived at Magivuan Emery Thane‘s House to learn the magic of paper. However, Thane‘s ex- wife, Lira, steals his heart and Twill chases to get it back. This was between a pick and so-so; I enjoyed the story and the memories but could not stomach the messiness of traveling inside the heart.

I'm joining @Andrew65 and sharing some of my favorite series.

Day 8: The Paper Magican (completed)

Ceony is a recent grad of a school for the Magically Inclined & assigned to apprentice as a Paper Magician due to shotages in the field. Once she bonds with paper, it's the only medium she'll be able to enchant. We follow her as she adapts to her new field and faces the evil flesh magician who attacks her mentor.

I bought this ebook a while back because I liked the idea that someone can be bonded and do magic with just one man-made material (paper, glass, plastic). But I am a bit disappointed: the writing is really good but I wanted more info about the way magic worked and was taught and learned. Also, the book started strong but then we got transported to some sort of side stories that were not very interesting to me. Overall not bad but barely a pick.

claudiuo @TheAromaOfBooks Another #BookSpinBonanza that I finished out of order, it's starting to be a habit 😃 So very grateful to you for all these books I'm finishing, I am a slow reader, I don't think I ever read so many in a month. (edited) 4y
TheAromaofBooks I had similar feelings about this book (and the whole series - I read one or two more, can't remember now)... concept is sooo interesting but the actual writing never clicked for me. I never really bonded with the characters and I had lots of questions about the world-building that were never really addressed. It was definitely a book that I wanted to like more than I actually did lol 4y

This was just fun more than anything. I honestly picked it because A) It popped up as I was browsing Kindle Unlimited offerings, and B) the cover was intriguing. Yeah, some of the character development was simple, and the plot was a bit predictable. But I loved the world—the whole concept of “only man made materials can be enchanted” is a take I‘ve never seen before. I‘ll probably continue the series—it‘s light and fun magic.

Overall I enjoyed this, it was the right amount of light and serious. The only issue I had is that it lacked depth/character development. Some of the plot seemed rushed and left you wondering why the characters cared for each other. I would have liked more info on how the specialties are chosen, but maybe that's in the second book?

I‘m so disappointed in this book! It had so much potential but...
-Not enough world building to help you believe the impossible
-Some things are urgent for no reason while urgent things are ignored for pointless musings
-Immature, undeveloped characters

An interesting premise, but I found the story uneven and a bit boring at times. So I rate it as a mediocre start to a concept that has promise. I may pick up book 2 just to see if the plot is stronger (& given that this was a debut novel, often book 2 is better), but at this point, it‘s not high on my TBR.

I started this book over a year ago, read 30 pages, and put it down. I picked it back up because I wanted something short, and I can‘t believe I didn‘t love it immediately the first time. Just goes to show how much of a mood reader I am!

The book was fine - good enough to finish but not good enough to read the rest of the series.
