À propos de cet audio

 An almost-mage discovers friendship—and maybe something more—in the unlikeliest of places in this delightfully charming novel from the USA Today bestselling author of The Teller of Small Fortunes.

Certainty Bulrush wants to be useful—to the Guild of Mages that took her in as a novice, to the little brother who depends on her, and to anyone else she can help. Unfortunately, her tepid magic hasn’t proven much use to anyone. When Certainty has the chance to earn her magehood via a seemingly straightforward assignment, she takes it. Nevermind that she’ll have to work with Mage Aurelia, the brilliant, unfairly attractive overachiever who’s managed to alienate everyone around her.

The two must transport minorly magical artifacts somewhere safe: Shpelling, the dullest, least magical village around. There, they must fix up an old warehouse, separate the gossipy teapots from the kind-of-flaming swords, corral an unruly little catdragon who has tagged along, and above all, avoid complications. The Guild’s uneasy relationship with citizens is at a tipping point, and the last thing needed is a magical incident.

Still, as mage and novice come to know Shpelling’s residents—and each other—they realize the Guild’s hoarded magic might do more good being shared. Friendships blossom while Certainty and Aurelia work to make Shpelling the haven it could be. But magic is fickle—add attraction and it might spell trouble.

If you're in the mood for some cozy slice-of-life slow burn sapphic fantasy romance, this one is for you. The romance is important, but not so central or so spicy (it's fade to black) it should discourage any readers in the mood for a cozy fantasy so long as they're not actively put off by women falling for each other (it's a bonus to me). If you like calm stories about people who feel overlooked or misunderstood helping each other, finding solace in one another, with a healthy dose of mostly minor adventures featuring magical oddities then you'll likely enjoy this. This is very much a character driven story.

As usual, I adored Natalie Naudus' narration. Good performance of emotions without overacting, good variety of voices, and decent cross gender narration.

Cute

Julie Leong writes immersive worlds and magical settings where a non-magic reader can envision themselves. In The Keeper of Magical Things we returned to the world of The Teller of Small Fortunes. With brand new characters – a novice and mage – this was a cozy story about an assignment to move artifacts with minor magic to a remote village with next to no magic of its own. I loved the last book in audio and this one too was very well done. The characters were engaging and the plot moved forward.

Certainty is the novice at the heart of The Keeper of Magical Things. She possesses the unique magic to talk to objects with magic of their own and I had never heard of something like this! Sadly, she hasn’t been able to make progress in other branches of magic and hence not been able to move to mage status from novice. She has seen many friends advance in their magical careers and is long losing hope of ever making it. She comes from a small village and her success would mean a better life for her family, her brother in particular. I enjoyed Certainty’s voice and openness to experiences.

The mage accompanying her on this mission is Aurelia. She has a reputation of being difficult but Certainty soon makes friends with her. Aurelia, in many ways, is the exact opposite of Certainty – she comes from a rich family that has influence in the empire. She was not loved by her parents. In her interactions with the common folk, she comes off as haughty. She has lost part of her magic and part of coming on this mission is to maybe rediscover her powers.

There were a number of magical objects in this story that I quite enjoyed. The first was Aurelia’s necklace that makes her focused. I felt this was a great representation of the nagging voice in our heads that wants us to keep striving to the point of being unkind to us. Another was the tea kettle that talks the user’s ear off. I got a chuckle out of the magical box that brought forth cats – it was a cute salute to Schrödinger's Cat in this magical world. I liked that so many of the artifacts had their own personality and it wouldn't have been possible to get to know them without Certainty’s gifts.

The plot took us from Mage’s Guild Tower to the Shpelling, then back, then on to Certainty’s home as she counted the days to her hearing and then the Guild Tower again. The pace was good and I was always interested to know where the story would take me. I enjoyed the friendships, the objects, the magic and the twists.

Immersive and cozy
