Helpful Score: 2

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."
