Synopsis: (from GoodReads)
I am Henrietta Howel.
The first female sorcerer. The prophesied one.
Or am I?
Henrietta Howel can burst into flames. When she is brought to London to
train with Her Majesty's sorcerers, she meets her fellow sorcerer trainees,
young men eager to test her powers and her heart. One will challenge her.
One will fight for her. One will betray her.
SPOILERS!!!!
Rating for both books 5/5 stars
Book 1: Henrietta Howel, is she a magician or a sorcerer?
It’s kind of confusing but the story still draws you in.
Agrippa keeps so much from Nettie that it brings quite a twist,
Rooks scars and him starting to turn. Nettie meeting all of the boys.
There’s a lot that goes on but it all flows together really well.
Makes you want there to be more, thankfully there is.
Book 2: Henrietta’s life is kinda of a tangled web at the moment.
She is doing her best to appease everyone it seems while trying to
reverse what is happening to Rook. As well as defeating R’helm who
happens to be her father. ALL OF THE RELATIONSHIPS (OMG),
Eliza and Magnus, Eliza and Foxglove, Rook and Nettie,
Blackwood and Nettie. The team is brought back together after
finding some unique weapons after searching for more
about William Howel. Turns out even the deadly weapons
they found were useful against the ancients, but also took a
toll on themselves. The plot doth thickens towards the end
of book 2. I cannot wait to see what book 3 reveals with
this group of rowdy boys and a strong willed girl.
