It left me asking, is there more? Is there another book to finish this? So, well done, Jaclyn Dolamore! I was so into the story that I was expecting another chapter, at least. I enjoyed this novel, the first I’ve read of its kind, but – yes, there is a ‘but’ – it ends so abruptly I was taken aback. What Nim discovers impacts her life and draws her into the power struggle between good and evil, fairies and men, hope and impossible love.įor the reader who enjoys paranormal and fantasy, Magic Under Glass isn’t overly involved and has a bizarre side to it that is quite inventive. Nimira is hired to sing as the accompaniment to an automaton that is rumoured to be haunted and that plays music on a keyboard. From that point the author swept me into a fantastical adventure of mystery and magic, murder and mayhem, but also love and loyalty and hope. As is often the case, she fell on hard times instead, but eventually she is approached by a wealthy gentleman (who happens to be a sorcerer) who has better plans for her – an offer she is willing to chance. The story is about Nimira, a young dancer and singer who left her own country to make her fortune elsewhere. Why? I didn’t want to quit until reaching the end! Once I started reading this novel it didn’t take long to make my way through it. Enthusiasm for this book was high so I added it to my long list of “must reads.” I don’t regret it. I first learned of Magic Under Glass in a writer’s chat room where I ‘met’ the author. My Rating: Intriguing, entertaining, hard to put down
