I LOVE to read, and by writing about what I read, I hope to share some of my passion and inspire people to read books they might not otherwise consider. Or to pick up any book and read because it's fun and because reading makes the world a better place.

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-Nine: Lady of Magick
So Sylvia Izzo Hunter has finally published a sequel to The Midnight Queen, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! She employs the same pseudo-Regency style of writing as in the first book and crafts another intricate plot set mostly in the same alternate-history Europe (this time focusing on Scotland, alias Alba) in which Roman gods are worshipped in Britain, which excludes Scotland but includes northwestern France. I did find the pacing of Lady of Magick a bit slow through the first half or even two thirds of the novel, but when the action came at the end, there was plenty of it--almost feeling a bit rushed. Even so, I had fun reading this sequel to The Midnight Queen, and I will read any further sequels Hunter may publish in the future.
