#2MinRevu CITY OF LOST DREAMS by Magnus Flyte = magical, mystical nerd-a-palooza

City of Lost Dreams is the magical mystical sequel to City of Dark Magic, which I raved on and recommended last year. Drawing on the art, music and history of Vienna, it follows the adventures of Sarah, a young musicologist on a mission to help her friend, a pianist with a sixth sense.

Terrifically spirited (pun intended), well-written, and intelligent. I ended up babbling a bit when I tried to sum up the complex plot, but trust me, it works. Highly recommending you read City of Dark Magic first.

Grab Lily Koppel's THE ASTRONAUT WIVES CLUB at your local indie bookstore today!

The Astronaut Wives Club: A True Story by Lily Koppel should be on bookshelf at your local indie bookstore today. If you're reading on Kindle, I hope you'll click here and buy it right now. I scored an advance copy, read it last weekend and loved it. A completely fresh (and refreshingly feminist) take on a fascinating slice of American history.

Video review forthcoming. Watch this space. (I have to do my roots first, okay? Don't judge me!) Meanwhile, check out the trailer...
