Short-listed for the 2015 ALA Fantasy Reading List, The Paper Magician<\/em> has been on our radar for a while now. The sample is superb, with the kind of elegant writing we both adore, and the story… well… call us intrigued<\/em>. Ceony Twill is nineteen. She’s just graduated from the Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined, only to have her dream of metal-spelling ripped away when she’s assigned, instead, to paper.<\/p>\n

But paper magic is a dying art, and for good reason. What use, after all, is paper<\/em>?<\/h4>\n

Get the deal!<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have a feeling she’s about to find out, and so are we. The ebook is on sale for only $1.99, but it’s a bargain even at the usual price. We bought it based on the sample and the blurb, which you’ll find below. If you read the book before we do, let us know what you thought in the comments!<\/p>\n

From the publisher:<\/h4>\n

\u201cCharlie is a vibrant writer with an excellent voice and great world building. I thoroughly enjoyed the\u00a0Paper Magician<\/i>.\u201d \u2014Brandon Sanderson, author of Mistborn and\u00a0The Way of Kings<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Ceony Twill arrives at the cottage of Magician Emery Thane with a broken heart. Having graduated at the top of her class from the Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined, Ceony is assigned an apprenticeship in paper magic despite her dreams of bespelling metal. And once she\u2019s bonded to paper, that will be her only magic\u2026forever.<\/p>\n

Yet the spells Ceony learns under the strange yet kind Thane turn out to be more marvelous than she could have ever imagined\u2014animating paper creatures, bringing stories to life via ghostly images, even reading fortunes. But as she discovers these wonders, Ceony also learns of the extraordinary dangers of forbidden magic.<\/p>\n

An Excisioner\u2014a practitioner of dark, flesh magic\u2014invades the cottage and rips Thane\u2019s heart from his chest. To save her teacher\u2019s life, Ceony must face the evil magician and embark on an unbelievable adventure that will take her into the chambers of Thane\u2019s still-beating heart\u2014and reveal the very soul of the man.<\/p>\n

From the imaginative mind of debut author Charlie N. Holmberg,\u00a0The Paper Magician<\/i>\u00a0is an extraordinary adventure both dark and whimsical that will delight readers of all ages.<\/i><\/p>\n
