Magic Lessons
#145
Title: Magic Lessons
Author: Justine Larbalestier
Publisher: Razorbill
Year: 2007
Genre: children's/young adult, fantasy & science fiction
304 pages
Part 2 of the Magic or Madness trilogy. This volume is not a stand-alone as it relies on the reader's knowledge of the first book and willingness to wait for the third for the resolution of most plot points. Character development continues, as does the complexity of the situation and the difficulty of knowing what the best choice of action is. It becomes clear in this installment that a major thematic point is teenagers' discovery of adults' failures and inconsistency.
