When Zacharias Wythe becomes England's first African Sorcerer Royal, he faces immediate challenge from those who would unseat him. But a new threat emerges, as the supply of magic declines. A treat for fans of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell and Georgette Heyer.
Zen Cho was born and raised in Malaysia and now lives in London. She was a finalist for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer for her short fiction and recently won the Crawford Award. Sorcerer to the Crown is Zen Cho's debut novel.
An enchanting cross between Georgette Heyer and Susanna Clarke,
full of delights and surprises
*Naomi Novik*
Zen Cho’s Sorcerer to the Crown is inventive, dangerous, brilliant,
unsettling, and adorable, all at the same time. It shatters as many
rules as its characters do. Historical Britain will never be the
same again, and I can’t wait for the next book
*Courtney Milan*
A warm, funny debut novel by a brilliant new talent
*Charles Stross*
Compulsively readable and wickedly funny, this magical marriage of
Jane Austen and P. G. Wodehouse delivers love, laughs, and a
thoroughly modern sensibility, and will keep you reading long into
the night. I loved it
*Lavie Tidhar*
Fabulous! If you like Austen or Patrick O'Brian, or magic and humor
like Susannah Clarke, or simply a very fun read, you will really,
really, enjoy this
*Ann Leckie*
A delightful and enchanting novel that uses sly wit and assured
style to subvert expectations while it always, unfailingly,
entertains. I loved it
*Kate Elliott*
Sorcerer to the Crown is fast-paced and witty, and should appeal to
fans of Mary Robinette Kowal and Gail Carriger
*Elizabeth Bear*
A deliciously true tale of politics and power in a charming, cruel
world – it demands and deserves to be read again and again. Cho has
humor and flair to match Pratchett and Heyer plus her own marvelous
style
*Karen Lord*
