Criticism Of Books The Seat of Magic (The Golden City #2)

I enjoyed this second installment, but it was a little lacking for me overall (maybe my expectations were too high)? Anyway, I still enjoyed spending time in the setting and with the characters, some of whom got some interesting background (Joaquim, Inspector Anjos, the scary Rusalka chic whose name I can't remember how to spell) so much so that I feel they were in danger of becoming more interesting than Duilio and Oriana.For instance Duilio is treading rather close to the male equivalent of

Note I received this book from the author in return for an honest review. These opinions are solely my own.A unique read, The Seat of Magic is part of the The Golden City series by J. Kathleen Cheney. A blend of science fiction, fantasy and romance, this is definitely far different from anything Ive read in this genre.Set in the fictitious Golden City in the early 1900's Portugal, the second book in the series centers around Oriana Paredes and Duilio Ferreira as they work together,

The author sent me a copy of the book but my review is brutally honest.I really enjoyed the first book in the series and I absolutely loved this book. I thought it was even better than the first book. Oriana and Ferreira are back, along with several other characters from The Golden City. Young girls are being murdered including several of nonhuman species and Tavares and Ferreira must help solve these murders that turn out to have rather large political consequences. The pacing is good in the

I was excited to read the second book in this series after finding the first book (The Golden City)so delightfully original, the time period (early 1900s) the location (Portugal), and the very unusual take on non-human species and how they might integrate or hide within human society.I was somehow disappointed in this book, and I am not certain why exactly. Many of the qualities that I appreciated in the first novel became unappealing in the secondThinks that I like:Oriana: I still like Orianas

The Seat of Magic by J. Kathleen Cheney is book two of her A Novel of Golden City series. This book picks up shortly after the first book ends, dealing with magic, sea folk (nonhumans) and the human inhabitants Portugal's port city. At the end of book one Oriana, the sereai spy, had left under duress, both northern Portugal and her gentleman sleuth Duilio Ferreira.  She promised him she would return, if she could. In her absence the gentleman sleuth is again embroiled in a murder mystery as he

The second in J. Kathleen Cheney's Golden City books resolves some issues for us and creates some more interesting subplots. In the book, the threat of using magic and weird science to blend supernatural and human creatures together takes center stage as Duilio, Joaquim, and Oriana try to unravel a series of bizarre murders. This makes the book pretty gory indeed, so be forewarned. For me, a book is at its best regarding its emotional arcs, and here Cheney shines. Readers of the first book
