The Glass Magician (The Paper Magician, 2)
Three months after returning Magician Emery Thane's heart to his body, Ceony Twill is well on her way to becoming a Folder. Unfortunately, not all of Ceony's thoughts have been focused on paper magic. Though she was promised romance by a fortuity box, Ceony still hasn't broken the teacher-student barrier with Emery, despite their growing closeness.
When a magician with a penchant for revenge believes that Ceony possesses a secret, he vows to discover it...even if it tears apart the very fabric of their magical world. After a series of attacks target Ceony and catch those she holds most dear in the crossfire, Ceony knows she must find the true limits of her powers...and keep her knowledge from falling into wayward hands.
The delightful sequel to Charlie N. Holmberg's The Paper Magician, The Glass Magician will charm readers young and old alike.

**SPOILER ALERT**
Yes, this book was a bit familiar and had more of the same behaviors from our characters. Ceony kept walking into traps ON PURPOSE. She is young and seemingly unaware of her own mortality. And actually, maybe that is what makes her the hero! Her willingness to jump in when others flee reveals her strength of character to do the right thing and attempt to fix past mistakes if she can. But as a reader, you can't help but roll your eyes and yell at her to wait for back-up or at least tell someone else what is really going on.
And Emery Thane, you can't help but love him. He is kind to a fault, courageous and reclusive. He has suffered great loss and is a bit wounded when we first meet him in book 1, but we start to see him healing in book 2 with Ceony at his side. You just want him to recognize how strong Ceony really is. She isn't meant to be kept at home away from danger. That will never make her happy. She wants to be fighting right along beside him, if he would only let her. The two of them really are becoming partners, and it is magical to watch and see what happens next.
