The Paper Magician

The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg, 214 pages


Ceony Twill didn’t get to choose which branch of magic she would get to study.  She wanted to be a Smelter, but there is a shortage of Folders, so she is stuck with paper.  She is apprenticed to Emery Thane, who is odd but nice.  Almost immediately, she finds out that he was actually the unknown sponsor that financed her year of study at the Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined.  Thane turns out to be a good teacher and Folding turns out to be different than what she expected.  When an Excisioner, a worker of Blood magic, breaks into Thane’s home and rips his heart from his chest, Ceony must find a way to track down the Excisioner, get back Thane’s heart, and save his life, without getting herself killed, of course.  A really good story, fantasy fans will probably like this one.
