frasersimons 's review for:
An Unkindness of Magicians
by Kat Howard
I really liked the contrast and parallels between magic and the factions in the “unseen world” and privilege. There’s quite a few women and they all feel different while contributing to the world building aspects of the fiction. I thought it was pretty clever and well executed, and the initial hook, which was what I was most unsure about at the start, became much more compelling as things were fleshed out. The ending felt well done and perfect for the themes. I was happily surprised by this one. I had kept putting it off because of the generic blurb/hook and am really glad I gave it a shot.
