Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot: Being the Correspondence of Two Young Ladies of Quality Regarding Various Magical Scandals in London and the Country by Patricia C. WredeMy review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
Okay, that was adorable. Epistolary comedy of manners in post-Napoleonic England with magic. One of those books that achieves all it sets out to do, and so is actually more successful than other books with more ambition. The letters are gossipy and fun, the plot predictable in a pleasant way instead of an annoying way, and one of the romances is thoroughly charming. Good times.
