Schwab is her favorite author), this was a fun fantasy adventure through multiple magical Londons. Neat worldbuilding and magic rules and styles; perhaps a bit more violent than I would have expected from a pre-teen\u2019s recommendation (apparently Schwab also writes YA books, which is how my niece came across her, but this is one of her adult novels), but her parents also read and enjoyed it, she\u2019s none the worse for reading it, and I\u2019ve certainly read far worse.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25670\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9142AB96-F996-4918-A25A-09B81CC0103E-scaled.jpeg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9142AB96-F996-4918-A25A-09B81CC0103E-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9142AB96-F996-4918-A25A-09B81CC0103E-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9142AB96-F996-4918-A25A-09B81CC0103E-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9142AB96-F996-4918-A25A-09B81CC0103E-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9142AB96-F996-4918-A25A-09B81CC0103E-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9142AB96-F996-4918-A25A-09B81CC0103E-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9142AB96-F996-4918-A25A-09B81CC0103E-668x501.jpeg 668w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recommendation from my 10-year-old niece, this was a fun fantasy adventure through multiple magical Londons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2036,2049],"tags":[4096],"class_list":["post-25671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-photos","tag-v-e-schwab"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25671\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
