A Sleight of Shadows
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
Return to Kat Howard's Alex Award–winning world begun in An Unkindness of Magicians, a secret society of power-hungry magicians in New York City.
After taking down the source of the corruption of the Unseen World, Sydney is left with almost no magical ability. Feeling estranged from herself, she is determined to find a way back to her status as one of the world's most dangerous magicians. Unfortunately, she needs to do this quickly: the House of Shadows, the hell on earth that shaped her into who she was, the place she sacrificed everything to destroy, is rebuilding itself.
"The House of Shadows sits on bones. All of the sacrifices, all of the magicians who died in Shadows, they're buried beneath the foundations. Bones hold magic."
The magic of the Unseen World is acting strangely, faltering, bleeding out from the edges. Determined to keep the House of Shadows from returning to power and to defeat the magicians who want nothing more than to have it back, Sydney turns to extremes in a desperate attempt to regain her sacrificed magic. She is forced to decide what she will give up and what she will lose and whether what must be destroyed is not only the House of Shadows, but the Unseen World itself.
World Fantasy Award finalist Kat Howard has written a sequel that asks how you have a happily ever in a world that doesn't want it, where the cost of that happiness may be too much to bear.

May 1, 2023
Howard’s immersive second Unseen World dark fantasy picks up right where An Unkindness of Magicians left off. The Unseen World is reeling from the events of the Turning, a competition which upended the hierarchy of magical houses and, thanks to the machinations of heroine Sydney, resulted in the complete dissolution of the corrupt House of Shadows. Unfortunately, Sydney’s destruction of Shadows left her powerless—and earned her some powerful enemies. With the balance of magic thrown out of whack, the other Houses start falling apart. Dahlia, head of House Morgan, sets out to save the Unseen World by rebuilding the House of Shadows—no matter who she has to sacrifice to do so. To stop Dahlia, Sydney must ally with new friends and find a way forward without magic of her own. Howard’s worldbuilding is as grim and complex as ever, and it’s easy to root for her resilient heroine in the face of impossible odds. This thrilling outing will keep readers guessing in all the right ways. Agent: Brianne Johnson, Writer’s House.

- content: Madeleine Maby narrates a slick urban fantasy set in New York City. The malevolent House of Shadows was defeated when Sydney brought down the corrupt powers of the Unseen World. But now someone is trying to reestablish the House and must be stopped. Maby populates the magical world with many glossy individuals, but while she keeps the plot moving briskly, she does not endow the shallowly sketched characters with emotional depth. Her portrayals are often inconsistent and difficult to distinguish, which will frustrate listeners. That said, the character of Sydney is clearly and consistently depicted; Maby gives her a fierce focus and a single-minded dedication to her task. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
