"An enchanting cross between Georgette Heyer and Susanna Clarke, full of delights and surprises. Zen Cho unpins the edges of the canvas and throws them wide."--Naomi Novik, New York Times bestselling author of the Temeraire novels
"Absolutely everything about this book is delightful...Witty, wise and wonderful, Sorcerer to the Crown is an admirable achievement and a deep delight."--NPR.org "Cho has humor and flair to match Pratchett and Heyer plus her own marvelous style."--Karen Lord, author of The Best of All Possible Worlds "Sorcerer to the Crown felt like Pride and Prejudice but with magic and race, which makes Zen Cho Austen crossed with Susanna Clarke and Ignatius Sancho...I am utterly in love."--tor.com "Zacharias brings to mind another orphaned young wizard whose combination of grit and melancholy captured readers' hearts, and ingenious, gutsy Prunella simply shines."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Sorcerer to the Crown exceeds expectations. It's a very entertaining and deeply enjoyable novel--and if this is what Cho gives us for her debut, I'm really looking forward to seeing what she does next."--LocusMagic and mayhem clash with the British elite in this whimsical and sparkling debut.
The Royal Society of Unnatural Philosophers maintains the magic within His Majesty’s lands. But lately, the once proper institute has fallen into disgrace, naming an altogether unsuitable gentleman as their Sorcerer Royal and allowing England’s stores of magic to bleed dry. At least they haven’t stooped so low as to allow women to practice what is obviously a man’s profession...
At his wit’s end, Zacharias Wythe, Sorcerer Royal of the Unnatural Philosophers, ventures to the border of Fairyland to discover why England’s magical stocks are drying up, an adventure that brings him in contact with Prunella Gentlewoman, a woman with immense power and an unfathomable gift, and sets him on a path which will alter the nature of sorcery in all of Britain—and the world at large.... NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
