Review

A wonderful tale of magic and sorcery set in a school between opposites Leo and Grimm.

Leo, is a rich legacy kid who seemingly could care less about anything. Always causing trouble and especially driving the prim and proper Grimm, up the wall.

When magic goes wrong (or maybe very right) they are forced to work together and in the process discover that the other isn’t who they thought they were. Both are wearing masks to deal with trauma and expectations. There’s some suspense and action along the way to keep us entertained.

I enjoyed the fantasy elements. They were well thought out, but not so complicated that I got confused or lost.

The audiobook was narrated by Ciaran Saward who did a fantastic job of this story and the characters. He has a lovely voice, and captured the characters really well.

Synopsis

Desperate to undo the curse binding them together, an impulsive sorcerer and his curmudgeonly rival venture deep into a magical forest in search of a counterspell - only to discover that magic might not be the only thing pulling them together. An irresistible cosy fantasy for fans of A Marvellous Light and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries.

Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics, content to spend his days thinking up charms that can summon butterflies or turn hair pink. That is, until a mishap with forbidden magic compels Leo to obey his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo's complete opposite - respected, talented and an absolutely insufferable curmudgeon. They need a counterspell, and fast.

Chasing rumours of a powerful sorcerer, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest teeming with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws. To break the curse, they'll have to uncover the true depths of Leo's magic, set aside their animosity and - much to their horror - work together. Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.

'Maiga Doocy's voice is nothing short of masterful . . . I would gladly take an arrow for either Leo or Grimm'

Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy

'I loved this book! . . . One of the best slow-burn relationships I've seen in a long time. Prepare to get deeply invested in Leovander Lovage and Sebastian Grimm.'

Melissa Caruso, author of The Last Hour Between Worlds
