Wandering Magic
Catherine Fry’s world trip was supposed to be more of a farewell tour.
After giving up her immortality to her student Bridget St. James, Catherine decided it was time to see forgotten friends and her old haunts.
But when one of her former lovers demands payment on an old debt, Catherine is magically bound to complete the terms of the bargain or face dire consequences.
Titania, queen of the fae, wants to acquire a magic item that is in the hands of a collector who just so happens to be a friend Catherine once left behind.
Calling upon her long unused skills as a master thief, she will have to pull off a heist in a place teeming with magic. Every heist needs a team, and every team needs a thief, a hacker, a warder, and a mastermind. Luckily—or unluckily—she knows just who to employ.
Can Catherine pull off a magical heist while protecting her heart from past loves? Or will she betray not only everyone around her but also herself?

So hopefully you have read the synopsis and are here for other’s opinions on “Wandering Magic”. No judgement, I do the same thing.
Now first, I am glad Catherine/Miriam’s story was told, as it is a nice bookend to how the series started and her relationship with Ezra. It also explains how she managed to anger a goddess so much that she was cursed not only with immortality, but to keep an eye on the goddess’s son, meaning she was where he chose to be.
If you haven’t read the series, I strongly suggest you do.
Now (spoiler alert, but I am pretty sure it is in the synopsis), since she has freely given up her immortality with the goddess’s blessing to Brie, allowing them to live a long life together, she is no longer tied by her obligation. She can travel, visit old friends, say goodbye and try to make amends.
Things don’t exactly go to plan. She find herself in trouble more often than not and then she is called upon to settle a debt. Magical debts are different and let’s just say, she has no choice.
I found this book interesting in that it gave us glimpses of her life, both as a child and over time how she would reinvent herself from country to country, over the centuries. Turns out she was not always a history professor, but also at one time, a thief. An excellent one.
This is book about doing the right thing, at the right time, without thinking just exactly how it would affect you. Facing your past, however uncomfortable or emotionally draining. Making good on debts owed and possibly asking for a favor or two for yourself.
This book was about found family, reconciliation with the past, new love and old love and living authentically as yourself.
It does contain some spicy scenes that I wasn’t expecting, but they weren’t gratuitous, and woven themselves authentically into the story.
I would definitely recommend this book, especially if you haven’t read the others in the series. I would like to thank the author, 4Horseman Publishing and BookSprout for a copy of this book. My review is voluntary and all opinions are my own. As always, happy reading!

This book took longer for me to read than normal, but only because I had to read it as a PDF on my computer, because my kindle was acting weird. That being said, I loved this book. The book was interesting to me from word one. Miriam/Catherine was a character with a lot of depth. Cursed by a goddess with immortality she lived for 500 years before giving up her immortality to her student Bridget or Brie as Catherine referred to her.
But, when a fae queen demands a payment on a debt, Catherine had no choice, but to comply. I know a lot about mythology in general, but I did enjoy reading about it in a way in this book.
Will Catherine be able to pull off her mission? Will she lose everything in the process? Or will she gain so much more than she ever had in her last 500 years of immortality? Enjoy!.

This is the second in a stand-alone interconnected series. I hadn't read the first one, but it didn't affect the story.
I enjoyed how the book was written. We follow Catherine/Mirium with glimpses of her life, both as a child and over time, as she reinvents herself from country to country over the centuries.
This book had found family, confronting your past, new love, old love, and living life true to yourself.
Some small spicy scenes which I felt fitted well with the story being told.
Overall, such a fun read.

I loved Catherine's story and her personal growth and journey. This book is an interconnected standalone and it is worth reading the earlier books for a richer experience.

First reading this from last page to first was very strange. But it didn’t keep me from reading it. 😊 I enjoyed this. It was a wild ride.

I thought this was really fun. The world building was just enough and I really liked it. I would recommend it.

I haven’t read any of the other books in the series, but after finishing this one, I’m definitely going to pick them up. The writing made me feel like I really knew Catherine, and the world-building was awesome. The characters were quirky and interesting, which kept me hooked.
That being said, Catherine’s initial decision really frustrated me. As a romantic reader, I couldn’t help but yell when she said she was tired of being immortal at just 500 years old. I mean, come on, you’re basically a baby immortal!
But the story really took us on a journey through her decision making, and it was great watching her grow and come to terms with how her life was changing. I loved getting to experience that growth with her.
I’d definitely recommend this as a good read. My best friend and I are already diving into the rest of the series!
