    Ceony Twill arrives at the cottage of Magician Emery Thane with a broken heart. Having graduated at the top of her class from the Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined, Ceony is assigned an apprenticeship in paper magic despite her dreams of bespelling metal. And once she’s bonded to paper, that will be her only magic…forever. Yet the spells Ceony learns under the strange yet kind Thane turn out to be more marvelous than she could have ever imagined—animating paper creatures, bringing stories to life via ghostly images, even reading fortunes. But as she discovers these wonders, Ceony also learns of the extraordinary dangers of forbidden magic. An Excisioner—a practitioner of dark, flesh magic—invades the cottage and rips Thane’s heart from his chest. To save her teacher’s life, Ceony must face the evil magician and embark on an unbelievable adventure that will take her into the chambers of Thane’s still-beating heart—and reveal the very soul of the man. From the imaginative mind of debut author Charlie N. Holmberg, The Paper Magician is an extraordinary adventure both dark and whimsical that will delight readers of all ages.

    Patético

    Que desperdício de tempo! Pra quê criar um universo tão intetessante com vários tipos de magia ligadas a elementos, se, na verdade, tudo que a protagonista quer é casar e ter filhos? Achei original o local escolhido para o embate entre os dois lados, uma batalha/perseguição dentro de um coração foi intrigante, mas precisava deixar a protagonista lá dentro durante 80% do livro? Abandonei a série porque a protagonista é insuportável, prefere cozinhar e lavar as cuecas do professor (por quem se apaixona assim que o conhece) a desenvolver suas habilidades mágicas. Alem disso, não há lógica em acompanhar livros que se vendem como fantasia, quando, de fato, narram a estória de uma dona de casa que, por acaso, tem talento para magia. Nada de errado em querer casar, ter filhos, porém a sinopse engana o leitor.

    Charlie N. Holmberg

    Charlie Nicholes Holmberg was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to two parents who sacrificed a great deal to give their very lazy daughter a good education. As a result, Charlie learned to hate uniforms, memorized all English prepositions in alphabetical order, and mastered the art of Reed-Kellogg diagramming a sentence at age seven. She entered several writing contests in her elementary years and never placed. Being a nerd, Charlie started writing fan-fiction as a teenager in between episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. She became a full-fledged band geek with mediocre talent in high school, where she met her husband. While she strove to win his attention by baking him cookies and throwing ramen noodles at his house, he didn’t actually ask her out until six years later. Charlie began taking writing seriously during her undergrad at Brigham Young University, where she majored in English and minored in editing. She finally won a few writing contests. She graduated with her BA in 2010 and got hitched three months later. Shortly afterwards, her darling husband dragged her to Moscow, Idaho, where he subsequently impregnated her. In summer 2013, after collecting many rejection letters and making a quilt out of them, Charlie sold her ninth novel, The Paper Magician, and its sequel to 47North with the help of her wonderful agent, Marlene Stringer. Charlie has since finished the series with the WSJ-bestseller The Master Magician, and in 2016 sold the movie rights to Disney. She has also published two standalone novels, Followed by Frost (a 2016 RITA finalist) and Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet. Her sixth book, The Fifth Doll, is slotted to release in July 2017. Charlie currently lives with her family in Utah. Someday she will own a dog.
