A Charm of Magpies by KJ Charles
The Magpie Lord, A Case of Possession, and Flight of Magpies
4/5. Historical M/M about a sort of magician and a younger son returned from decades in China to inherit the family title. Would you guys believe I read this for the articles? Seriously though, the magical plots here are truly engaging and, in some places, horrifying. Which is not to say I wasn't also into the romance. These two really struggled with themselves for emotional intimacy, and their conflicts always made satisfying sense. Though I do have to say that her portrayal of their height difference passed over from oh so you have a size kink and into something more like that feeling where someone tells you they crossed, like, a dachshund and a saint bernard and you're kind of like *headtilt* but....how?

I only read the first book
The magic really engaged me, and I was into the romance right up until they abruptly had sex.
