Found as a steampunk book, the story started different from what I had expected. It soon turned into a wonderful, creative read that ended too soon. I love the way the story moves and also the writing is excellent. I promise I won't be jealous. Okay, not too long. If you like magic, automatons and s...
Sometimes a book just comes along which is just the right thing you needed to read at that moment in your life, and for me - "Magic Under Glass" was the perfect book at the exact right time. Set in an original fantasy world (which is very reminiscient of Victorian England... but if fairies, unicorns...
I’ve had Magic Under Glass on my to-read list for about two years. The first I heard of it was during the white-washing controversy (along with Justine Larbalestier’s Liar and Karen Healey’s Guardian of the Dead) and I thought that it sounded interesting enough. And then it continuously fell off and...
An fairly short enjoyable debut novel with elements of steampunk and "Jane Eyre". I decided to do a re-read as I was preparing to read the sequel, Magic Under Stone and needed a re-fresher.Nim is a trouser girl with little to call her own and when a mysterious gentleman offers to whisk her away to a...

Ich gestehe, bevor ich mir "Magic under Glass" gekauft und nun gelesen hatte, hatte ich keine wirkliche Ahnung, worum es hier geht. Klar, ein Mädchen und ein Junge, der in einen Automat gefangen ist (was mich übrigens ständig an "Der Sandmann" von E. T. A. Hoffmann erinnert hatte o_o), aber ansonste...
I, like many people I imagine, first heard about “Magic Under Glass” after the less than publicity friendly but justifiable outrage over the whitewashing of the heroine on the first cover of the book. Luckily, the publishers listened to the complaints and gave the book a lovely new cover with the ap...
Nimira has been working in a music hall and earning a very low wage so when she is offered a well paid job by sorcerer Hollin Parry she jumps at the chance. He wants her to sing along with an automaton who plays the piano, she isn't the first person he has offered the job but the others have always...
I’ll be honest. I quite liked this book. I thought this was a fresh new story in a genre steaming with vampires and werewolves and other mysterious beings. Nimira is a “trouser girl” which basically means she is somewhat of a novelty in the city she has chosen to live in. She dances and she sings – ...
