Patricia C. Wrede wrote as Cecelia while Caroline Stevermer responded with Kate's letters. Sorcery and Cecelia is the first in a series of books featuring Kate and Cecelia.

Patricia C. They did not plan the plot before they began writing. The comparison does make sense, but I might venture to say I liked this book better than any of the Harry Potter series. Their stories continue in The Grand Tour (2004) and The Mislaid Magician of Ten Years After (2006). WREDE has written many novels, including Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted .

PATRICIA C. WREDE has written many novels, including Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot and The Grand Tour coauthored with Caroline Stevermer, as well as the four books in her own series, the Enchanted Forest Chronicles. She lives near Minneapolis, Minnesota. I think I first read Sorcery and Cecelia in 1988. Nowadays, I read the three books of this series plus Mairelon the Magician and The Magician's Ward (currently published together as A Matter of Magic) every year. I can't normally read a romance, but this is so good I didn't notice it was a romance until after I'd finished reading it.

For over twenty years, Patricia C. Wrede (b. 1953) has expanded the boundaries of young-adult fantasy writing. I don't remember which book of Patricia Wrede's I first found, but I own and love all of them that I've ever seen. Her first novel, Shadow Magic (1982), introduced Lyra, a magical world in which she set four more novels. Her other series include the Enchanted Forest Chronicles; the Cecelia and Kate novels, co-written with Caroline Stevermer; the Mairelon books, which take place in Regency England; and the Old-West Frontier Magic series. Wrede lives and works in Minnesota. They published the epistolary novel Sorcery and Cecelia in 1988, and returned to the series with The Grand Tour (2004) and The Mislaid Magician (2006). Stevermer’s other novels include River Rats (1991), A College of Magics (1994), and Magic Below Stairs (2010).

A great deal is happening in London this season. For starters, there’s the witch who tried to poison Kate at Sir Hilary’s induction into the Royal College of Wizards. (Since when does hot chocolate burn a hole straight through one’s dress?!) Then there’s Dorothea. Is it a spell that’s made her the toast of the town—or could it possibly have something to do with the charm-bag under Oliver’s bed? And speaking of Oliver, just how long can Cecelia and Kate make excuses for him? Ever since he was turned into a tree, he hasn’t bothered to tell anyone where he is! The girls might think it all a magical nightmare . . . if only they weren’t having so much fun.

I don't remember which book of Patricia Wrede's I first found, but I own and love all of them that I've ever seen. I think I first read Sorcery and Cecelia in 1988. Nowadays, I read the three books of this series plus Mairelon the Magician and The Magician's Ward (currently published together as A Matter of Magic) every year. I can't normally read a romance, but this is so good I didn't notice it was a romance until after I'd finished reading it. I love fantasy, and Wrede's fantasies, including her collaborations with Caroline Stevermer, are all wonderful. They carry my highest recommendation. Written as a series of letters between two young ladies old enough to make their societal debut, one of whom is coming out in London and one of which must stay at the home in the country where she grew up, Kate and Celia are going to make their way through society, and Society had better watch out (especially after the incident with the goat! (the authors eventually give us the highlights, but not the details of the incident)). Magic and training in magic (or the lack thereof), plays an important and delightful role in the novels.
In short, I've loved everything of Wrede's I've encountered. Sorcery and Cecelia in particular.

Loved, LOVED, LOVED this book. This was recommended to me by someone. I do wish I could remember who. I need to thank them! The book is written as a series of letters between 2 cousins. One is in London for the season, the other still at home. In so many ways, I felt I was reading a Georgette Heyer, all hail the queen of regency romance, book. The heroines were bright and did not allow themselves to be defined by the norms.

I laughed and worried about the heroines. Be aware, the men really do play secondary characters. I am going to order book 2 and 3. If they are half as good as this one, I will be thrilled.

I highly recommend this book for any Heyer fan who likes a tough of magic thrown in for fun!

Love, love, love this book. I actually lucked into it back when it was originally published in 1988 and stubbornly held on to my tattered paperback even when it was fetching huge prices on Amazon. I've enjoyed the sequels, but the original is the best.

It's an epistolary novel, where the story is told in letters between two friends and cousins when one (Kate) is hauled into London for her season while Cecy stays home and finds things are a bit more interesting than she expected.

This is basically the Regency world of Heyer, if Heyer had written a Regency world that included magic. Each author took a character, so you get a clear idea of each character.

It's also pretty funny, especially when the two get involved in magical doings with all sorts of consequences, including a couple of young men. As with Heyer's work (and Austen's) there are several romances, including one that is somewhat unexpected, a bit of kerfuffle and a happy ending.

Read it when you want a well written Regency or fantasy (or both) with a happy ending, engaging characters and a lot of fun along the way.

I like this book, and it is entertaining, but I can't say it's as engaging as typical Regencies or cozy mysteries.

The concept is clever. The presentation is fun, with the women writing back and forth to each other. Their "voices" are distinct and their correspondence is very chatty at times. I like that part.

However, I feel as if the author tried to bring too many elements into the story. And, at times, I felt like I was reading a mix of irrelevant "news" and... well, kind of an information dump. It's not that the clues were dropped heavy-handed, but sometimes the context was a little jarring. It's difficult to explain, but -- for me, anyway -- those elements broke up the flow of the reading.

I recommend this book, anyway, as a clever approach... and sort of a mash-up of Regency and cozy mystery, with some metaphysical and Gothic elements thrown in.

Regency purists may flinch at the mix. Though this book is light, it's not Marion Chesney's style. It's a little more contemporary (modern) and kind of fun. However, it has a "first book" feeling to it, though the innovative concepts make up for the occasional disconnect in style.

This is an utterly charming book that's in the form of letters from cousins. Now, don't be put off. If you love Georgette Heyer and her marvelous early 19th century romps when men worried about their cravats and women worried about the color of their hair, you'll love this. The discussions between the cousins on the subject of men and fashion - among other subjects - are marvelous and authentic.
The magic elements propel the plot and are very satisfying for readers who love romance with a touch of real magic.
On the subject of romance. It may be just the spate of books I've read recently, but I am sick and tired of pages and paragraphs of sizzling sparks, intense looks and brooding smirks - a pitiable condition in my view - ad infinitum ad nauseam. This book handles two romances gently with just the right amount of swooning. And, what a pleasure it is to read a book from authors who can manage this.
I enjoyed this thoroughly and encourage you to try it, too.

I enjoyed this book. The format of telling the story through letters was fun., and a nice way to get to know the two main characters. I felt it was pretty slow getting started, which is one of the reasons for the slightly l lower star rating. I did feel that the authors did a good job of maintaining the feel of the historical period., including throwing in some great vocabulary from the times. I'll probably read the sequels at some point in the future, but I'm not compelled to dive into the next one immediately.

Jogas

This was a fun story whose plot is revealed entirely through letters written between two cousins, one who is in London for the Season and one who is left in the country. They discover magical plots against some of their acquaintances and set out to foil them. In the process, they discover that they have magical talents as well. Both girls end up in dire peril at the hands of experienced wizards. You will have to read the book to find out what happens!
