Reader reviewed by Riney

Sorcery and Cecilia is an entertaining novel set in letter form in Regency England (right after the defeat of Napoleon).

Cousins, Cecy and Kate, narrate the novel by writing letters to each other about events happening around them. Kate is in London for her Season and talks about all the balls and the mysterious woman who tried to posion her. And of course, you can't forget the odious Marquis that seems to be everywhere! Meanwhile, Cecy is in the country and befriends a young girl who suddenly becomes irrestible to all men! Plus, her brother has disappeared! As the story moves on, the two lives become entwined and both cousins end up helping the other!

This fantasy novel is fun to read, but it may be confusing at times since it is in letter form. There is plently of romance and action, so pick it up for a good read!
