Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg returns to the enchanting world of The Paper Magician.Alvie Brechenmacher has arrived in London to begin her training in Polymaking—the magical discipline of bespelling plastic. Polymaking is the newest form of magic, and in a field where there is so much left to learn, every Polymaker dreams of making the next big discovery.
Even though she is only an apprentice, Alvie is an inventor at heart, and she is determined to make as many discoveries—in as short a time frame—as she can. Luckily for her, she’s studying under the world-renowned magician Marion Praff, who is just as dedicated as Alvie is.
Alvie’s enthusiasm reinvigorates her mentor’s work, and together they create a device that could forever change Polymaking—and the world. But when a rival learns of their plans, he conspires to steal their invention and take the credit for it himself.
To thwart him, Alvie will need to think one step ahead. For in the high-stakes world of magical discovery, not everyone plays fair…

6 October 2017. There are 12 reviews for a book that won't be published for 6 months, according to the blurb. What's wrong with this picture?PS I enjoyed the first 3 books in the series, so it may turn out to deserve the stars.Note: While this is listed as part of The Paper Magician Series, this novel can stand on its own. While the world-building isn't as extensive in this novel, there is still enough information that one could start with this book not having read the full Paper Magician series. Characters from that series do pop up in this book, but none of the main characters have major roles in this book.Probably more like 3.5 stars. Full review to come. I received this eARC from Netgalley in exchange for a honest
I suspect that I am not the target audience for this book. I think this quote about the subject of The Plastic Magician, makes it clear who is. "I think you can do it, Alvie, the injured woman said. A smile touched her lips. I really do. We dont know each other terribly well, but I see your drive. People with drive do amazing things." This is a coming of age story and it is meant to be encouraging to its readers. Alvie Brechenmacher is a young adult, from a hundred years ago, who lives in a
The Plastic Magician is set in the same world as the Paper Magician, but with a new lead character. Alvie is an American girl, who dreams of becoming a polymaker, a plastic magician. We follow her as she gets her position as an apprentice in London and as she begins to make discoveries and come to grips with her new powers.The book is written in third person and in much the same manner as the plastic magician trilogy. Although, the book is an American writing about London and England, all in the
Potentially interesting world building let down by a weak and predictable plot, a very low stakes love story, an irritating protagonist, a generally shallow cast, and a cartoonish villain. There are no twists and the conflict revolves around who gets to present what magi-science invention at a big, important magi-science fair. Also, the author appears to think Heart of Darkness is a gothic romance, which is weird.
Little did I know that this author and this particular series would become an obsession, and yet, here I am💁♀
