It's the Regency era with a bit of magic in which two cousins making their debut find true love, but must combat evil sorceries. Completely charming from start to finish, at times laugh-out-loud funny, and quite suspenseful on occasion.

This is a great story! It's set in 1800's England, but an England where magic is common - and works, and wizards have a Royal Society. The story is a series of letters back and forth between two cousins (each one written by a different author). One, Kate, goes to London for her debut, and the other, Cecelia, stays in Essex in the country. Both get tangled up in a series of events involving good and bad wizards, as well as the Ton.
Reading it is like reading Jane Austin with magic and spunkier characters. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes Patricia C Wrede as well as the time period.

The sequel is called "The Grand Tour."

Sorcery and Cecelia sounded like a really fun idea, having two writers build the story between the two of them! It was interesting to see how it worked out - you can't do plotting much ahead of time when someone else also controls the story line! It was a fun, interesting book.

A fun epistolary book of two friends writing to each other over the romance and magic of their Harry Potter/Jane Austen British world.
Clean book, interesting, light read.

This was a fun book to read. Loved the somewhat unique experience of reading the two different stories and how they came together. It wasn't always smooth and that was actually part of the charm, it made the characters more authentic to me. I would recommend it.
