Review: Very Satisfying Read

Before reading this 2nd book in the series, I went back and re-read the first, "Schooled in Magic".  Our teenage protagonist is very likable, and even though the author is a guy, he does a pretty good job developing her character.  In the first book, Emily, is torn from her world by an evil necromancer, and then rescued by an enigmatic sorcerer.  Since she has magic in this dimension, she is sent to a school that resembles Hogwarts's.This 2nd book takes place away from the school, and has more political implications.  The story continues with Emily going home with her friend Princess Alassa, who is to be confirmed as the crowned princess to the throne, as well as, start the process of finding a prince to marry.  If you like world history, which I do, the author compares earth history  to the cultural development of her new world, and the potential changes that her "inventions" will cause.  There is still a lot of action and adventure, with a very, very satisfying ending.  Mr. Nuttall could write more in this series, or leave it as complete, as he did with just 2 books in the series of "Book Worm".  I really enjoyed these books, and will watch for new books from this author.
