About this listen
“Charlie is a vibrant writer with an excellent voice and great world building. I thoroughly enjoyed the Paper Magician.” —Brandon Sanderson, author of Mistborn and The Way of Kings
Ceony Twill arrives at the cottage of Magician Emery Thane with a broken heart. Having graduated at the top of her class from the Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined, Ceony is assigned an apprenticeship in paper magic despite her dreams of bespelling metal. And once she’s bonded to paper, that will be her only magic...forever.
Yet the spells Ceony learns under the strange yet kind Thane turn out to be more marvelous than she could have ever imagined - animating paper creatures, bringing stories to life via ghostly images, even reading fortunes. But as she discovers these wonders, Ceony also learns of the extraordinary dangers of forbidden magic.
An Excisioner - a practitioner of dark, flesh magic - invades the cottage and rips Thane’s heart from his chest. To save her teacher’s life, Ceony must face the evil magician and embark on an unbelievable adventure that will take her into the chambers of Thane’s still-beating heart - and reveal the very soul of the man.
From the imaginative mind of debut author Charlie N. Holmberg, The Paper Magician is an extraordinary adventure both dark and whimsical that will delight fans of all ages.

A very creative story !
A very creative and unique story ! I did find the narration quite irritating though, the accents felt a bit off (coming from an English person lol)

Enjoyed this story easy to listen to
This was a good story and better than I thought but it was a she the narrator was American as this is set in the uk and some of the pronunciation was a little off putting.

First in a great series
I've had this book waiting to be read for ages but I finally gave in and started it. I couldn't stop listening other than when forced by that real life stuff that gets in the way of books. I've zoomed through both this thrilling adventure and the next and am about to start on book 3. Go for it, I recommend it whole heartedly.

Enchanting new world but....
I loved the concept as its a little different and I'm intrigued to find out about the different types of magic. Not going to lie the narration irked me somewhat which is a shame as it has such potential.

Wonderful!
The American accent was a little abrasive at first, but stick with it and it all comes together. Great story, and can't wait to have the next one!!

Interesting concept
A fairly enjoyable listen with an interesting concept. However the narrator did a really bad imitation of the accents she choose and the accents were all over the place - jumping from American English to bad British English throughout the story. Also there were a few unexpected extremely disturbing scenes in the book, so overall a bit of a confusing story to rate.
