Some books loudly proclaim their brilliance with every page.
Well, Of Swords and Spells by Delia Marshall Turner wasn't one of those books. Instead, it quietly sneaked its way into my heart. The realization that I absolutely adored it dawned only after some time had passed. Certain elements of the style and plot in Of Swords and Spells reminded me of the best of fantasy author Diana Wynne Jones. With an engaging narrator, fast paced story, and a delightfully twisting plot, Turner presents readers with a superb tale of magical adventure on an inter-planetary scale.
