Another review at Shiny New Books, this time of the new Folio Society edition of Charmed Life by the great #DianaWynneJones.
Here's hoping more Chrestomanci is in store ...

My review of The Temple of Fortuna by Elodie Harper is now up at Shiny New Books. Warning: this is the third book in a trilogy and it's hard to avoid spoilers for the first two.

In short: read these books, they are excellent. Note trigger warnings for sexual abuse (the central character has been forced into prostitution in ancient Pompeii) and volcanic eruptions.
