About this ebook
Magic is real.
Discovered in the 1970s, magic is now a bona fide field of engineering. There's magic in heavy industry and magic in your home. It's what's next after electricity.
Student mage Laura Ferno has designs on the future: her mother died trying to reach space using magic, and Laura wants to succeed where she failed. But first, she has to work out what went wrong. And who her mother really was.
And whether, indeed, she's dead at all...

I love this book but the structure and pacing is wild, all over the place (largely due to this being originally released as a serial, but still), and the ending is... well, it is what it is. At least the characters stay consistently true to their nature.

Read this on Sam Hughes' website and had to buy his books to support him. If you are looking for mind bending scifi this is it! Wonderful way to pass the time during quarantine love these!
