Glass Magic

Rating: 5/5

Review: Maria V. Snyder has created a wonderful new trilogy, and I can't wait to devour the next book. I loved the glass magic featured, as well as, the magic of the Storm Dancers. I enjoyed reading about Opal's growing powers and self-discovery. The little love triangle that has started between her, Kade, and Ulrick made for an interesting twist. I'm rooting for Kade, myself. Of course, the characters from the Study books are featured here, as well, and it was fun reading about Yelena from a different perspective. There was great action and suspense throughout the book, and the story moved along at a brisk pace.

Book Description:
As a glass maker and a magician-in-training, Opal Cowen understands trial by fire. Now it's time to test her mettle. Someone has sabotaged the Stormdancer clan's glass orbs, killing their most powerful magicians. The Stormdancers--particularly the mysterious and mercurial Kade--require Opal's unique talents to prevent it happening again. But when the mission goes awry, Opal must tap in to a new kind of magic as stunningly potent as it is frightening. And the further she delves into the intrigue behind the glass and magic, the more distorted things appear. With lives hanging in the balance--including her own--Opal must control powers she hadn't known she possessed...powers that might lead to disaster beyond anything she's ever known.
