About this listen

Paula Brackston's City of Time and Magic is the next installment in the time-traveling Found Things Series.

City of Time and Magic sees Xanthe face her greatest challenges yet. She must choose from three treasures that sing to her; a beautiful writing slope, a mourning brooch of heartbreaking detail, and a gorgeous gem-set hat pin. All call her, but the wrong one could take her on a mission other than that which she must address first, and the stakes could not be higher. While her earlier mission to Regency England had been a success, the journey home resulted in Liam being taken from her, spirited away to another time and place. Xanthe must follow the treasure that will take her to him if he is not to be lost forever.

Xanthe is certain that Mistress Flyte has Liam and determined to find them both. But when she discovers Lydia Flyte has been tracking the actions of the Visionary Society, a group of ruthless and unscrupulous Spinners who have been selling their talents to a club of wealthy clients, Xanthe realizes her work as a Spinner must come before her personal wishes. The Visionary Society is highly dangerous and directly opposed to the creed of the Spinners. Their actions could have disastrous consequences as they alter the authentic order of things and change the future. Xanthe knows she must take on the Society. It will require the skills of all her friends, old and new, to attempt such a thing, and not all of them will survive the confrontation that follows.

Well my goodness she’s done it again.

I loved this book, I won’t give anything away as I don’t want to spoil it, but it held me, the characters, the relationships with them all, the storyline - wow and when the book finished I felt I had lost a long lost friend again. Now there is a mourning period and a search for another book that will hold me again.

I do hope Ms Brackston is working on the next book, I will miss those characters for sure

Until next time …..

Fantastic

Loved every bit of the story. Thanks will recommend to so many. Well read and written. All books in the series were great and attention keeping. If there is ever another book I’d be first in line. The accents put on made the story believable. I could listen and/or read more of this authors books. All characters were needed I. The stories of each time travelled and unfortunately some were lost.

Loved.

Enjoy….

Plz. write more. I'm not into supernatural/ witches, but these books have a lovely calming flow even with the suspense. All 4 were very enjoyable.

Delightfully amusing!

I got hooked after the first few chapters of book 1. I have been impatiently waiting for this book to be released since I discovered the series in January this year.
I love that you also get to interact with characters from another of Paula's series (The Return of the Witch - book 2)
After getting home back into this series and finishing this book, I think I might just go back and start it all over again to rediscover the magic.

Another captivating installment of Xanthe's advent
