I’m delighted that the return to the epistolary format brought the series back to the quality of the first novel in the series! That was my hope, after feeling lukewarm with the 2nd in the trilogy. Seeing Thomas, Kate, James, and Cecilia as parents and enjoying further adventures was great fun. I was happy that Thomas and James joined in the letter-writing, and the pacing was much better in this third book. I was especially glad to see Kate get her magical groove on a couple of times. I was worried at first that thread from book 2 was being dropped.

Recommended for folks who like historical fantasy with humor and romance. If you’re looking for tame, light romance in a fantasy setting, this is for you. ( )

Reclaims a bit of the magic from the original... but not fully. ( )

Make that three for three on liking the books in this series. ( )

It is the early nineteenth century and the age of steam is just getting underway. However, in this version of history magic exists and is recognized. There is a Royal Society of Magicians and Lord Wellington, now Prime Minister, employs wizards as well as generals to guard the realm. A German magician dispatched to investigate accidents on a railway line has gone missing. Ley lines appear to be involved, as well as a kidnapped child, a hysterical Dutchess and some very inventive children. Quite fun. ( )
