Much of the tale takes place in an ordinary school, what we would call a high school in the US. The magic in the book is witchcraft, and it presumes that the ability to do this magic is something passed on through families. The protagonists are mostly school girls. To begin, this story is a contemporary urban fantasy.
In this case the ending resolves a major issue, but many plot threads will go tendrilling into the next book (s). This is book one in The Language of Magic. This book won't be published until May of 2021, but you can probably pre-order it now.Īnd, of course, my permanent reminder that I try to avoid all spoilers in a review.Īnd a new notification that I'm adding: The Trilogy or Series notification. I have not (yet) meat the author, Cari Thomas. When I'm not reading strange magical books and working on my next book, I like to eat good food, watch movies, dance around the kitchen, write poetry and wander the woods, which I believe is the most magical place on earth.įirst, the usual caveats: I received an advance reading copy from the publisher, for free. I have now moved back West, to Bristol, with my husband and son. It resulted in my debut novel Threadneedle, the first in my Language of Magic series. A world where magic gleams both light and very, very dark.
A world where libraries made of books breathe dusty pages beneath the city and witch clubs serve up magical cocktails and vintage shops sell memories. I split my days between freelance work and roaming London, writing in cafés and libraries and any hideouts I could find, eating far too much cake and imagining a magical world hidden within today's London.
I quit my job and wrote a book about magic. I worked as a journalist for various publications and at a creative agency, before finally doing what I'd always wanted to do. I grew up in the Wye Valley area of Wales and moved to London in my twenties.
