The Book of Autumn by Molly O'Sullivan

The story moves at a fast pace with a complex compelling plot. Told in a unique format with footnotes and a journalistic view. Easy to follow what each (character) is thinking and feeling, pulled me deep into the story.

A murder mystery with a magic theme and a splash of romance. The characters are unique and some (to me) quirky. The plot is interesting, thought-provoking and intriguing with magic at its core. A good dark-academic fantasy fit for Adults show more and Young Adults as well.

Overall I found The Book of Autumn by Molly O'Sullivan quite enjoyable and feel others will find it enjoyable as well. A good read for all. show less

There were a lot of layers to this story and it took a LONG time to find out what the Book of Autumn actually was. The intricacy of the story and complexity of characters will make this a great fit for someone looking for a fantastic magical mystery.

I am typically not a fan of fantasy so this book was a miss for me. Marcella is half a pair of magicians, the other being Max. But she had decided to stop practicing magic. However, Max comes to her because a student at their alma mater is dead. There is another floating in the infirmary. They have to work together to intervene in this mystery.
I liked the cover, but not much else.
