Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Mary Robinette Kowal stunned readers with her charming first novel Shades of Milk and Honey, a loving tribute to the works of Jane Austen in a world where magic is an everyday occurrence. This magic comes in the form of glamour, which allows talented users to form practically any illusion they can imagine. Shades debuted to great acclaim and left readers eagerly awaiting its sequel. Glamour in Glass continues following the lives of beloved main characters Jane and Vincent, with a much deeper vein of drama and intrigue.In the tumultuous months after Napoleon abdicates his throne, Jane and Vincent go to Belgium for their honeymoon. While there, the deposed emperor escapes his exile in Elba, throwing the continent into turmoil. With no easy way back to England, Jane and Vincent’s concerns turn from enjoying their honeymoon...to escaping it. Left with no outward salvation, Jane must persevere over her trying personal circumstances and use her glamour to rescue her husband from prison...and hopefully prevent her newly built marriage from getting stranded on the shoals of another country's war.

    I really enjoyed diving back into this series! Glamour in Glass is the second book in the Glamourist History Series which is a historical fiction based fantasy set just before and during the Napoleonic Wars. (It’s been described as Jane Austen with magic) I love how sweet and wholesome these books are while also containing the elements of fantasy that I love. I love the way the magic is described and every-time I read these books I wish that I had the ability create glamours as cool as Jane, the main character in the book. So far the books in the series have been quick reads although this one doesn’t end quite as happy and perfect as people might expect it to. I can’t wait to continue on with this series because I’ve heard it gets even better with each book.
