Description

J’avoue l’entrée en matière dans le monde des Booksellers aka agents spéciaux du Nouveau Monde donne une impression de déjà-vu pour l’ambiance. Anywho, the magic was pretty cool, as it dealt with a lot of earth magic and gods and whatnot of English mythology, was was interesting. She starts with an old family acquaintance, “Uncle” Frank Thringley, but Frank turn out to be, in rapid succession, (a) a crime boss, (b) disincorporated by the prick of a magical hatpin, and (c) a Sipper — which is a milder type of bloodsucker than a vampire.

If you're looking for something light and escapist with that delightful British vibe, this is a good pick. Unfortunately, the magician–excuse me, Wizard–Merlin is generally vague on the big picture and tends to focus on the details.Merlin is one of London’s organization of booksellers who engage with the magical world, policing its interaction with what normal humans think of as reality. That said, there were enough tropes to still make it a bit formulaic, although not in an irritating way. Thank you to BorrowBox for providing this mobile app which allows so many more people to experience these audiobooks than would otherwise.

He has also cowritten several children's book series with Sean Williams, including TroubleTwisters and Have Sword, Will Travel. I found the Left Handed Booksellers to be a good story which moved quickly and kept my interest throughout. Il y a de l’action et des rebondissements, on ne voit pas défiler les pages, emportés par la découverte de ce monde surnaturel, de ses codes et de ses mystères. It doesn't have a lot of depth, but it's a delightful romp through British legend and folklore and I enjoyed it as a light but occasionally surprisingly violent and suspenseful adventure story.Here is a world with the same solidity and four dimensional authority as our own, created with invention, clarity, and intelligence. Garth Nix was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia, to the sound of the Salvation Army band outside playing 'Hail the Conquering Hero Comes' or possibly 'Roll Out the Barrel'. Unlike Susan, I don't care enough to stick around for someone to finally explain what the hell is going on. I was less intrigued by the whole cauldron premise, mainly because cauldrons have been done to death (thank you SJM for murdering this plot point). Praise for ANGEL MAGE: "A unique magical system based on angel summoning and icons, deft characterization--including male and female protagonists and LGBTQ representation--and an affectionate rendering of Dumas's style will delight teen and adult fans of swashbuckling romance.

However, the book seemed to get off to a very slow start, one in which it felt as if dropped right into the middle of something. Garth Nix has worked as a bookseller, book sales representative, publicist, editor, marketing consultant and literary agent. Crime boss Frank Thringley might be able to help her, but Susan doesn't get time to ask Frank any questions before he is turned to dust by the prick of a silver hatpin in the hands of the outrageously attractive Merlin.

A warm, whimsical delight-- The Left-Handed Booksellers of London is a witty, clever adventure in an exquisitely detailed world you will love escaping into. The world building wasn't too bad although similar to other urban fantasies that I've read recently, but my bone of contention is to do with the way that the characters were written. Hijinks ensue, and Susan remains quite unflappable in the face of those — which is weird until you realize that she’s got some ancestral magic that lends her some serious magical street cred.
