![]() But adding to his troubles is a drought in the supply of magic in England, making the country perilously defenseless (another thing to blame on the 'unnatural' state of a black head sorcerer in England). There are those who are ready to depose him for the color of his skin. ![]() Story: Zacharias already has a lot on his plate: the young sorcerer was chosen to be head of the magicians in England - despite his lineage of being a product of African slaves. That was perhaps the most modern nod in the book - yet another female protagonist who is thoroughly unlikeable but with whom everyone inexplicably falls instantly in love. Our main character is also very modern-feeling: yet another female who makes stupid decisions constantly and has to be rescued from them all the time (instead of using her brain). But the writing is also very inconsistent, often times falling back on more modern phrasing that can be jarring when set against so much antiquated dialogue. In one way, Cho creates a very British milieu, with all the Regency-period foibles one would expect from the period. ![]() For me, I just didn't like any of the characters and felt very frustrated by their decisions. I had a hard time getting into Sorcerer to the Crown. ![]()
