Fremragende bog! (Krimi/mysterie-)Plottet er spændende og kærlighedshistorien er vidunderlig. Verden og karaktererne er troværdige og virkelig godt beskrevet. En klar anbefaling!

Fantasy & SciFi
Set in an alternative Edwardian England, this is a comedy of manners, manor houses, and hedge mazes: including a magic-infused murder mystery and a delightful queer romance.
'Lush historical fantasy . . . A delightful book, with richly developed characters' – New York Times
‘Mystery! Magic! Murder! . . . This book is a confection, both marvellous and light’ – Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January
For fans of Georgette Heyer or Julia Quinn's Bridgerton, who'd like to welcome magic into their lives . . .
Young baronet Robin Blyth thought he was taking up a minor governmental post. However, he's actually been appointed parliamentary liaison to a secret magical society. If it weren’t for this administrative error, he’d never have discovered the incredible magic underlying his world.
Cursed by mysterious attackers and plagued by visions, Robin becomes determined to drag answers from his missing predecessor – but he’ll need the help of Edwin Courcey, his hostile magical-society counterpart. Unwillingly thrown together, Robin and Edwin will discover a plot that threatens every magician in the British Isles.
The Binding meets Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell in debut author Freya Marske’s A Marvellous Light. Continue the thrilling series with A Restless Truth.
‘A dazzling debut’ – Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun
‘Prepare to fall in love with the gorgeous Edwardian setting, the sizzling character dynamics, and the murderous enchanted hedge maze’ – Emily Tesh, author of Silver in the Wood
‘An absolute delight . . . If you ever wished Downton Abbey was sharper-edged and full of magic, this is the book for you’ – Kat Howard, author of An Unkindness of Magicians

Varning for å ha den på høytaleren, litt husmorsporno et par steder i boken. 😂 Ellers sjarmerende bok altså. 👌🏼

This book was a such a nice experience . It’s funny and witty. The characters were absolutely lovable. At first it did move rather quick, but the descriptions were so well done that it didn’t feel like a rush by the end. I would have loved if they had done a deeper dive at Edwin’s character and the causes of his antisocial behaviour. But he had a sweet character development. Robin on the other hand stayed true to himself and I just adore this soft himbo! Their relationship seemed rather quick but it picked up nicely. I just adore them. Miss Morrissey was so cool, I can’t begin to explain how much I love her! Wish the next book was about her! Over all - a marvellous read!

Interesting plot that has it all, it’s magic, adventure and erotic unraveling of two main characters. But I had sometimes a hard time to concentrate because storytelling jumps between different persons all the time. Otherwise a great read!

I liked the magic system and the characters and the mystery were engaging. Hopefully we'll get to see the main pair again in a future book.

I had a hard time to sit down and finish this book, and ended up listening to the last few chapters. The story it self was interesting but it was the way it was written that was bad. I felt like the book didn’t really know what it wanted to be. It went from solving a curse, gay romance to stop some bad guys from getting a magical ring. It was just too much pushed into the book. It spent to much time on the wrong things. I would gladly have traded the time they just spent with Edwin’s family for more time looking for the magical objects.Wasn’t a big fan of the man reading this book. His voice was annoying especially his girl voice.

Really enjoyed this! Very well written, and equally well read. Excellent mix of: magic, mystery, romance, and drama. Couldn't put this down!

In begin vond ik het even wennen en moest ik ook inkomen in het verhaal maar het loont zich absoluut om door te zetten!😊
