Title: Sorcerer to
the Crown
Author: Zen Cho
Series: Sorcerer
Royal #1
Synopsis: “At his
wit’s end, Zacharias Wythe, freed slave, eminently proficient magician, and
Sorcerer Royal of the Unnatural Philosophers – one of the most respected
organizations throughout all of Britain – ventures to the border of Fairyland
to discover why England’s magical stocks are drying up.
“But when his
adventure brings him in contact with a most unusual comrade, a woman with
immense power and an unfathomable gift, he sets on a path which will alter the
nature of sorcery in all of Britain – and the world at large.”
Review: I loved
this novel! It did not go the way I
expected based on the cover blurb. I
felt that the novel was much more about Prunella and less about Zacharias than
the blurb lead me to believe. I was
fascinated by the story of Zacharias and Prunella. Together they deal with the heavy issues of
racism & sexism. At first I was
annoyed by Prunella’s insistence on just wanting to marry a rich husband, but
came to like her more as she came into her own.
Sorcerer to the Crown features a beautifully crafted world with
intricate, well thought-out politics, and fully fleshed out characters. I can’t wait to read the next novel in the
series!
