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.
