The Magicians meets One Last Stop in this brand-new fantasy romance Remedial Magic, about an unassuming librarian who 1) has fallen in love with a powerful witch; 2) has discovered that she is a witch; and 3) must attend magical community college to learn how to save her new world from complete destruction by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr!
Ellie loves working in her local library in the small town of Ligonier. She loves baking scones and investigating the mysterious and captivating in her spare time. And there is nothing more mysterious and captivating than the intriguingly beautiful, too properly dressed woman sipping tea in her library who has appeared as if out of nowhere. The pull between them is undeniable, and Ellie is not sure that she wants to resist.
Prospero, a powerful witch from the magical land of Crenshaw, is often accused of being… ruthless in her goals and ambitions. But she is driven to save her dying homeland, and a prophecy tells her that Ellie is the key. Unbeknownst to Ellie, her powers have not yet awakened. But all of that is about to change.
My Review:
I had a fantastic time reading this book! I've really enjoyed all of Melissa Marr's writing, and I think this is her first book for adults. That this is a portal fantasy with lesbian witches? Yeah, sign me up, it was such an engaging story!
From the prologue, we have a witch who acted badly, and was most likely the reason behind things going wrong now. I wanted to know who it was, and what they did exactly. And if along the way of fixing things, would the witches learn the true value of the Hobs?
Ellie wanted to be as uninteresting as possible. Her aunt, the most important person in her life, was interesting, and then she disappeared for a while, so Ellie tries her best to be as ordinary and normal as possible. But she's not, she has magic!
This world of magic, and the set up, was really interesting, that they were brought to this land, and taught magic. And if you got to stay, you got to keep your magic, and if you left, you lost it. When you add in some unsavoury characters and a land that is breaking down, well, I had to keep reading!
Loved reading this book and I can't wait for more!
