Review: Looked forward to every read

Each day, I looked forward to my free time to read more of this book. I found myself thinking about Stargazer and Tarvik and Nance and even Old Lor and Artur long after I turned the last page.The main character accidentally crosses into another world hidden in the mountains and soon finds she must use her wits and a touch of star magic (astrology) to stay alive in this barbaric land where tyranny rules but cunning controls. I thought Stargazerabit snarky at first, dishing out insults and wisecracks despite her circumstances, but the more I read, the more I liked her. Phoebe Matthews knows how to make characters grow and change. I appreciate that in an author. It's clear she trusts her readers will eventually get her characters. And the investment in Stargazer is so worth it.I high recommend this first book in the Mudflat Magic series and I am looking forward to reading the next installment.--GP--I only write reviews on books I enjoy. "Tyrant Trouble" gets five stars.
