Bewitching Season
Bewitching Season | Marissa Doyle
4 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
In 1837 London, young daughters of viscounts pined for handsome, titled husbands, not careers. And certainly not careers in magic. At least, most of them didn't. Shy, studious Persephone Leland would far rather devote herself to her secret magic studies than enter society and look for a suitable husband. But right as the inevitable season for "coming out" is about to begin, Persy and her twin sister discover that their governess in magic has been kidnapped as part of a plot to gain control of the soon-to-be Queen Victoria. Racing through Mayfair ballrooms and royal palaces, the sisters overcome bad millinery, shady royal spinsters, and a mysterious Irish wizard. And along the way, Persy learns that husband hunting isn't such an odious task after all, if you can find the right quarry. Bewitching Season is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

This is a younger book than normal for me, so maybe better for younger reader. I appreciated that the author didn‘t try to add in a bunch of silly things about twins, which I‘m told by twins is very frustrating.
Penelope and Persephone must contend with their first season as their governess and magic teacher goes missing. Dark plots are afoot and they must save their teacher and hopefully meet Princess Victoria.

Only two chapters in and I'm very intrigued by the premise of this book. Magic and the English social elite of the 1830's? Yes please!

Just finished this fun Regency read. I loved the magic and the main characters' obsession with Princess Victoria, although the plot was a little predictable. Still, I am sad my library doesn't have the next book in the series.
