Book Review: The Plastic Magician (The Paper Magician Book #4) by Charlie N. Holmberg | A New Sequel to an Old Favorite to Ease My Ever Aching Heart

Also, can be viewed at https://newbookcatsreads.blogspot.com/2018/07/book-review-plastic-magician-by-charlie.html

⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Material made by man, your creator summons you. Link to me as I link to you through my years until the day I die and become earth."

Polymer chemistry involves the synthesis, characterization, and the study of the properties of large molecules consisting of units of repeating chains, such as hydrocarbons. The polymerization of these large molecules are then used to synthesize plastics, rubbers, and so many of the materials we use in everyday life. Although Holmberg did not write a book solely to quench my ever aching heart for a story of an aspiring young chemist, I did thoroughly enjoy this addition to her Paper Magician series.

Our female protagonist Alvie Brechenmacher is an aspiring Polymaker, or a magician that focuses her craft on plastics and their properties. Alvie, like The Plastic Magician's Ceony, is extremely intelligent and courageous throughout the book. She is undoubtedly passionate in regards to her chosen skills in plastic, and I embraced returning to a world I adored. The only things keeping this addition from a 5-star rating like the rest of the series was the slow pacing and predictable ending, particularly as Alvie had the answer to the plot's conflict in the beginning. There are instances in which a slower plot is necessary to build a world properly and sanely or to develop the plot thoroughly and without holes; however, when it gets so slow that I need to take a break, that means...

In conclusion, I am grateful for the opportunity to dive deeper into this magical world. Although this book is sorted into "Young Adult," I would also consider it to be "New Adult" since Alvie is a twenty-year-old woman, but Holmberg's writing style, easy-to-read plot, and relatable characters make this story a good addition to any reader's bookshelf. This magical adventure is surely a slam dunk that will forever keep me wondering what could happen next. *Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for sending me an advanced copy in exchange for a honest review. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy! Love, newbookcats

Ma quanto è bello #glassmagician 😍 Ieri notte sono andata a letto tardissimo per finirlo! L'ho divorato! Mi è piaciuto molto più del primo, #papermagician Questo secondo capitolo ha molti più cambi di ambientazione, è maggiormente dinamico. Ceony, in questo volume, è alle prese con due nemici e anche questa volta farà scoperte entusiasmanti! Lei è un'apprendista piegatrice che non si lascia intimorire dall'azione. Tantissime magie vengono fatte e vengono approfondite anche altre branchie della magia relative alla manipolazione di diversi elementi magici. Ho già #mastermagician e non vedo l'ora di iniziarlo! @fanuccieditore #recensionilibri #recensionelampo #recensionidilibri #instalibri #stoleggendo #letturaincorso #passionlecture #instalecture #lectureterminée #finishthisbook #bookbookbook #instabooks #bookclub #bookfriends #letturemaggio #maybook #booklist2019 #bookread #readthisbook #bookmorning #goodmorningreaders #buongiornocosì #likebook https://www.instagram.com/p/BxJlKdgHWIq/?igshid=1r726u415gx2y

The Paper Magician

Charlie N. Holmberg

“His heart is still worth something to me. A heart that’s known love is stronger than one that hasn’t, did you know that?”

The Paper Magician didn’t pull me in right away. Put did it surely after a few chapters. If you like magical words with romance this is the read for you.If you don’t, look elsewhere. You know I don’t like romance stories, but this one caught me by…

"The Paper Magician" Booktalk

Holmberg, C.N. (2014). The Paper Magician. Seattle, WA: 47North. Paperback; ISBN: 9781477823835; $7.48.

Awards: N/A

Ceony Twill has just graduated top her of class from the Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined. Yet instead of being allowed to choose the material she will bond with (and thus be able to work magic with for the rest of her life), the school apprentices her to a paper magician, because so few magicians want to work with paper as their magical medium. Thoroughly depressed by this fact and yet nevertheless resigned (Ceony wanted to be a Smelter who enchants metals), she meets with her new master, paper magician Emery Thane.

Thane shows her the wonders and whimsy of enchanting paper, although Ceony mostly still thinks it's useless. Yet after she realizes it was Thane who anonymously donated money allowing her to go to the school for magic, she can't help but be grateful to him and drawn to him. After all, he did enchant paper snowflakes to fall from a ceiling just for her and even created a paper dog she names Fennel to follow her around and keep her company since she couldn't bring her own living hound.

One day a horrible practitioner of dark magic known as Excisioning or flesh magic invades Magician Thane's house and rips the still-beating heart from his body. Thinking fast, Ceony is able to save her master by enchanting a paper heart to beat for him while she embarks on a journey to chase down the dark magician Lira and win back Thane's heart. In the end, to defeat Lira and secure her master's heart, Ceony must literally travel through its four chambers and through Emery Thane's own memories, doubts, and deepest desires. As she travels through Thane's heart, she can't help but fall in love with him. When she finally catches up to Lira, a twisted woman who manipulated Thane's heart for her own wicked ends, it's a fight for life and love itself.

This is a whimsical, romantic tale with a very creative magic system and endearing characters. I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

Con #mastermagician concludo la trilogia 🥰 Tre libri fantasy che parlano di maghi in grado di legarsi a un solo elemento creato dall'uomo. Ceony è un'apprendista Piegatrice, mago Thane è il suo maestro. Nel corso dei tre libri,Ceony dovrà affrontare vari nemici, escissionisti, maghi che si legano al sangue umano. Nell'ultimo capitolo, Ceony dovrà sostenere l'esame finale per diventare una maga e affrontare un temibile nemico. Una trilogia romantica quanto magica, il secondo libro è il mio preferito, in quanto più ricco di avventure e duelli magici. Ogni libro cela importanti rivelazioni sulla magia e dolci momenti 🥰 Una trilogia da leggere tutta d'un fiato 🤩 #papermagician #glassmagician #instalibri #libriconsigliati #libridaleggere #libri #libri2019 #librimaggio #bookswelove #bookseries #bookishpics #bookishphoto #letturemaggio #nuoveletture #livresaddict #livrestagram #passionlivres #l4l #likebook #booklovers #instadaily #dailybook #litterature #littérature #vivalalettura #buonalettura #bookishcolor #igbook #liketime https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx4e0YAI5lZ/?igshid=ej4k74c6x34s

The Master Magician, an endearing, enchanting culmination of The Paper Magician Series

The Master Magician, an endearing, enchanting culmination of The #PaperMagician Series @CNHolmberg @amymcnarrator

Charlie N. Holmberg

Charlie Holmberg is a masterful literary tight-rope walker; she has written that fine line between fierce vs. frenetic, endearing vs. cloying, inventive vs. a show-off and clear headed vs. cold-hearted. The main protagonist is an almost ideal character in that she doesn’t come off as a constructed character at all. She is clear headed, except when it comes to her own safety.…
