"Narrator David Thorpe’s delicious depictions of steamy encounters between Robin and Edwin are intricately woven throughout this magical realm." (Booklist, starred review)
Red White & Royal Blue meets Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell: debut author Freya Marske’s A Marvellous Light unfolds in an Edwardian England full of magic, contracts, and conspiracies.
Robin Blyth has more than enough bother in his life. He’s struggling to be a good older brother, a responsible employer, and the harried baronet of a seat gutted by his late parents’ excesses. When an administrative mistake sees him named the civil service liaison to a hidden magical society, he discovers what’s been operating beneath the unextraordinary reality he’s always known.
Now, Robin must contend with the beauty and danger of magic, an excruciating deadly curse, and the alarming visions of the future that come with it - not to mention Edwin Courcey, his cold and prickly counterpart in the magical bureaucracy, who clearly wishes Robin were anyone and anywhere else.
Robin’s predecessor has disappeared, and the mystery of what happened to him reveals unsettling truths about the very oldest stories they’ve been told about the land they live on and what binds it. Thrown together and facing unexpected dangers, Robin and Edwin discover a plot that threatens every magician in the British Isles - and a secret that more than one person has already died to keep.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Historia
Without an academic endorsement to make him valuable to the high fey, Saffron will be sent back through the veil to the human world. The place he was traded from as a changeling-baby, and a place he is terrified of. And while getting an endorsement shouldn't be impossible, it's hindered by the fact his literacy is self-taught, using books stolen off of Morrígan Academy's campus of high fey students.

Historia
Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics. He can summon butterflies with a song or turn someone’s hair pink by snapping his fingers. Though such minor charms don’t earn him much respect, anything more elaborate always blows up in his face, and so Leo vowed long ago never to use powerful magic again. That is, until a mishap with a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo’s complete opposite—respected, exceptionally talented, and absolutely insufferable.

Historia
Arek hadn’t thought much about what would happen after he completed the prophecy that said he was destined to save the Kingdom of Ere from its evil ruler. So now that he’s finally managed to (somewhat clumsily) behead the evil king (turns out magical swords yanked from bogs don’t come pre-sharpened), he and his rag-tag group of quest companions are at a bit of a loss for what to do next. As a temporary safeguard, Arek’s best friend and mage, Matt, convinces him to assume the throne until the true heir can be rescued from her tower. Except that she’s dead.

He may not want it, but now that he's in the position, he finds himself dealing with magic, both beautiful and dangerous, deadly curses, and the prickly Edward Courcey, his magical counterpart in the office, and the person with whom he is supposed to liaise.
But as the mystery surrounding his predecessor's death is slowly revealed, Robin and Edward discover a plot that threatens every magician in Brittain.
For an enemies-to-lovers love story, this one was somewhat slow to get going for me, and I nearly put it down several times. I am glad that I didn't, because once it really got going, it was very enjoyable. For me, it took until about the halfway point to really get into it, but I think that had to do more with the fact that it's a historical fantasy, and I generally stay away from historical fantasies. For whatever reason, I find them harder to get into than other fantasy novels.
What helped me was listening to the audiobook. I had started off reading it myself and would only get through about 10-15 pages before I'd be putting it down to read something else. Knowing I would never finish it that way, I started listening to the audiobook. David Thorpe did a wonderful job with his performance. I don't yet know if I'll continue the series, but if I do, I will be listening to the audiobook.
I will say that, of all the characters in the novel, I think my favorite was Sutton House. I have read a few other books recently that have magical houses in them, and I do enjoy those stories. There's something fun about seeing characters interact with a magic house. As a secondary note, having finished the story, I now feel the need to learn Cat's Cradle. It was not something I picked up as a kid, but reading this story, in which the magic spells are based on the game, makes me at least want to figure out the basics. Who knows, maybe I'll discover some latent magical power of my own? Probably not foresight, though.
My favorite character is a house. Is that weird?
