Devoured this in a few days. Beautiful fantasy story. Loved the world building and the nature of magic in this world - the action is restricted to a very small geographic area, but it makes it feel like it is part of something big. I loved the intelligence of the characters, and how sometimes it felt like a game of chess, with everyone making their best move.

I really enjoyed watching Hewitt, with all the nuances of his motivations. He was not the stereotypical "villanous" character. He schemed and played an interesting game, while being somewhat decent for most of the book. I was sad to see him go at the end.
I also found interesting the depiction of women in powerful roles, and how hard it is to break away from society's norms ingrained in people. It was heart breaking to see Oleda silently backing away to her expected (and accepted) role.

I really enjoyed both The Conjurers books. It's nice to read a unique magic/fantasy story and not just the average predictable ones. The characters were wonderful as well, and I felt connected. I only wish though that the editing had been better with both the books (maybe only an issue with the E-reader addition). This is not the Author's fault however - editor/publisher should have caught them. In several instances names had been mixed up, or sentences were missing a word, or the wrong word was used. It made it a little bit frustrating to read. (But poor editing is a pet-peeve of mine.)

A great finish to the Bookbinder's Daughter. I really liked the way it ended.
