As Ceony interacts with other mages of other branches and I learned more about how their world worked, I had a lot of fun thinking about the different uses for different spells and trying to come up with ways I would use each kind of magic. There is a branch of magic for every man-made material, anything from plastic to metal to paper, and the creativity in the design of these different branches and what they’re capable of was really fun to explore. This book is beautifully written, and this world of magic is incredibly unique and interesting. Ceony’s able to keep him alive with her newly-learned skills, but she must embark on a terrifying journey that leads her into the very chambers of her mentor’s heart. Just as Ceony is warming up to paper magic, dark magic users, flesh mages, attack her mentor’s home and rip out his heart. Emery introduces Ceony to the beauty of Paper magic, bringing origami animals to life, making stories come alive with ghostly images, and even telling the future. Once she’s sworn to Paper she can never go back, and she struggles with resentment as she begins her tutelage under Magician Emery Thane. It should have been a time of celebration, a time when Ceony gets to choose her branch of magic to study and practice for the rest of her life, but Ceony is met with bitter disappointment when she is enlisted as a Paper magician instead. The Paper Magician is a story about a young woman named Ceony Twill who just graduated at the top of her class from Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined.
