When You Read A Five Star Book and Can Only Hope It's The Start of a Series!

 


I listened to the audio version of this book and it is excellent. The reader is fantastic, she does an excellent job with all the characters. The main character of this book is Clara, and she is a hero you want to root for. What makes this book stand out from the crowd are these factors:
1.The Setting is Washington DC in the 1920s.
2. The side characters have their own story arcs and those don't take away from the main story.
3. A unique magic system in a mundane world.
4. Leslye Penelope includes actual historical people in the book in a very creative way.

That's about all I can tell you without going into spoiler land. When I started this book, I was hooked right away it has excellent pacing. 

If you read this book I'd love to hear your thoughts!

On the gardening front, I've harvested my first vegetable!
