In Cho’s first book in an exciting new series, Zacharias Wythe, Sorcerer Royal of the Unnatural Philosophers and eminently proficient magician, must travel to Fairyland and figure out why England’s magic is dying out. The society itself is falling on hard times, due in part to the leadership of an unsuitable head sorcerer, so the shrinking magical resources aren’t helping. Zacharias sets out on his journey to find a cure, where he meets a woman whose gifts will alter the course of his life and the fate of the world. Ridiculously delightful and smart, Sorcerer to the Crown is a sheer joy. (For a more in-depth review, you can hear Rebecca rave about it on this week’s podcast!)
