Fantasy & SciFi
Set in an alternative Edwardian England, this is a comedy of manners, manor houses, and hedge mazes: including a magic-infused murder mystery and a delightful queer romance.
'Lush historical fantasy . . . A delightful book, with richly developed characters' – New York Times
‘Mystery! Magic! Murder! . . . This book is a confection, both marvellous and light’ – Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January
For fans of Georgette Heyer or Julia Quinn's Bridgerton, who'd like to welcome magic into their lives . . .
Young baronet Robin Blyth thought he was taking up a minor governmental post. However, he's actually been appointed parliamentary liaison to a secret magical society. If it weren’t for this administrative error, he’d never have discovered the incredible magic underlying his world.
Cursed by mysterious attackers and plagued by visions, Robin becomes determined to drag answers from his missing predecessor – but he’ll need the help of Edwin Courcey, his hostile magical-society counterpart. Unwillingly thrown together, Robin and Edwin will discover a plot that threatens every magician in the British Isles.
The Binding meets Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell in debut author Freya Marske’s A Marvellous Light. Continue the thrilling series with A Restless Truth.

Interesting plot that has it all, it’s magic, adventure and erotic unraveling of two main characters. But I had sometimes a hard time to concentrate because storytelling jumps between different persons all the time. Otherwise a great read!

I had a hard time to sit down and finish this book, and ended up listening to the last few chapters. The story it self was interesting but it was the way it was written that was bad. I felt like the book didn’t really know what it wanted to be. It went from solving a curse, gay romance to stop some bad guys from getting a magical ring. It was just too much pushed into the book. It spent to much time on the wrong things. I would gladly have traded the time they just spent with Edwin’s family for more time looking for the magical objects.Wasn’t a big fan of the man reading this book. His voice was annoying especially his girl voice.

Really enjoyed this! Very well written, and equally well read. Excellent mix of: magic, mystery, romance, and drama. Couldn't put this down!

I’ll say this; I’m definitely intrigued enough that it inspired me to purchase an actual copy of this book. I think reading this for myself will suit me better, because the guy who reads this has a weird tendency to make the characters sound far older and more pompous than they’re probably meant to be. Like, yes, I get that this is set in Edwardian England, but good God, man. I’m sure you’re very skilled at what you do, but this time I think I’ll just read it for myself.

Boken var sådär lagom bra. Stort plus för queera och intressanta karaktärer, speciellt Robin och hans godmodighet. Minus för att det diskuterades för lite vad det innebar att vara queer i den tidsålder de levde i. Jag kände också att det fattades en viss urgency, istället för att lösa de litterally dödshotande problemen lallade karaktärerna omkring lite väl mycket... men, som sagt, helt okej läsning
