A review by kberry513
The Mislaid Magician, Or, Ten Years After: Being the Private Correspondence Between Two Prominent Families Regarding a Scandal Touching the Highest Levels of Government and the Security of the Realm by Caroline Stevermer, Patricia C. Wrede

4.0

I liked this one better than the second one, probably because it was a little shorter, but I think the first one is the best. The second one changed from the letter format of the original, as Kate and Cecy were together through pretty much all of it, and instead was composed of diary entries and a deposition. This one was back to the original format and I think I preferred it. I liked the glimpse of Kate and Cecy as mothers and the sort of shenanigans their children got up to. I enjoyed the addition of the steam engine and its affect on magic - very interesting idea.

I guess it just didn't suck me in the way the first book did. I suppose it could also have to do with my mood - if I reread it later, maybe I'll like it even more.

That being said, it was a solid story.
