Modern Magick, Volume 4: Books 10-12

Modern Magick Collected #4

by Charlotte E. English

Things are getting serious at the Society for Magickal Heritage. An ancient legend has plans for Ves, and Ves has plans for just about everything else.

It’s time to take on the ultimate challenge—and hope for the best. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, everything. As usual. But if old magick is going to survive in the modern world, it’s no use being cautious.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and Ves is giving it everything she’s got. But can she handle the cost?

And can the cost handle her?

Modern Magick comes to a dazzling conclusion in these final three The Magick of Merlin, Dancing and Disaster, and The Fate of Farringale.

Reviews

[Ursula Fricke · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good ending for the series. After Ves's "promotion" I was a bit sceptical this was going into a "Chosen One" direction. And it did, kind of. But also not. The sacrifice of everything she gained for the rescue of Farringdale was worth it. And not being able to change her hair colour? Hilarious. The only plot I was not happy with was the Alban story line. It just petered out. After that monologue about not needing romance or sex I was waiting for Ves to tell Alban what was going on. Unsatisfying.

Solid

Good wrap up. A wonderful saga. Hope we get to visit Drs again some day. Surely there's more magic to be found.

Undead dance party

Great book! I loved the dance party! This is supposed to be the final book in the series, but the epilog hints at another story for another time.
