I want to state that every review is mood based. Not every day is the same, and opinions of some things, can always change based on the mood we're in.

There may also be spoilers, so read at your own risk.

When i saw this book was available while as i was reading the first one, i was so glad i could get it. Because i gotta read while the information from the first one is fresh... so waiting on hopefully number 3 book, will be a pain and hard to do. Hopefully i will remember when the times come.

What i love about this second book is, that we're getting a perspective from Owein, Mr. Fernsby 8-great-times-uncle, who was a house, but now is a dog indeed. I really enjoyed that a lot.
And while saying this, i feel like we're missing the part as to why it was so familiar for Owein, to have been tortured or life being sucked out of him from Mr. Hogwood. But that is the only critique i have, maybe it is in book 3? But yeah, i kind a thought we would hear more, or that i would have gotten help to remember his old life, because he struggled with those memories.
Because this book, leaves us with a cliffhanger, and i'm on the very edge to want it now.

Whimbrel House, now that i have read both of the books, i will say it's a cozy, well paced, fantasy,mystery, romance series and can be rather enjoyable.

"Why should i be sad when so much is good?" - Owein Mansel.

I'm happy Mr. Fernsby got some happy feelings in his life again, found his family with those who are close but also further. And i like the compelling feeling i get from Charlie's fantastic writing.
So thank you for letting me read this book and review it.

Hope i'll see the next one in the future!
p.s. What about Mr. Adey or what his name was? What was that thing about the crown ?
Hope we'll find out!

I enjoyed the story. I've read some other stories by Charlie previously, so I had a good idea of what to expect. Overall, she delivered on what I thought I'd get. I received a review copy from NetGalley and have left my opinion.

Heir of Uncertain Magic by Charlie N. Holmberg picks up right where Keeper of Enchanted Rooms left off. In this story, Merritt, and Hulda find themselves embroiled in a scandalous plot involving BIKER that could have dire consequences for enchanted rooms around the world. Both Merrit and Hulda will need to embrace their magic and each other if they are to find a way to save BIKER from ruin. The only problem is, the head of the organization has gone missing and strange people begin showing up at Whimbrel House who may or may not be working against Merritt and Hulda.

This book had more espionage and cat and mouse aspects to the story rather than enchanted rooms. I would have preferred a different storyline that did not include BIKER because the magical world and enchanted rooms was what I found most interesting in the first book. Despite that, I still enjoyed the story and the characters. The magical system was given more presence in this story and unanswered questions such as the genealogical aspects from the first book were explored.

I've said it before but I'll say it again, I really enjoy Charlie N. Holmberg's stories and really appreciate her creative ideas and interesting worlds that always seem to be perfectly paced and very charming.

I was so excited to see a copy of the second novel in the series available to read! Especially when I just finished the first book. I’ve been a fan of Holmberg’s work since reading “Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet”. The author continues to weave a magical story in a world unlike any other.

It was a joy to get the opportunity to read "Heir of Uncertain Magic" having read "Keeper of Enchanted Rooms." Once again, Ms Holmberg has written a story that held me in a spell as magical as those in the book. The story can certainly stand alone, but it picks up where the previous book ended. Merritt Fernsby and Hulda Larkin are still involved with BIKER - aka Boston Institute for the Keeping of Enchanted Rooms. As the previous director has disappeared, an audit is started by the London Branch - LIKER.
This story twists and turns with a delightful rhythm that will keep you turning the pages unless you absolutely have to put it down (Eating/Sleeping/Working.)
The magic in the story is sometimes as the title says uncertain. This is due to the fact that magic is slowly dying as fewer people of magical birth marry and have children. If only one of a couple has magic, like any other trait in genetics, it is weakened.
I am sure you will love reading about Mr Fernsby and Mrs. Larkin as they navigate a changing world.

Ms Holmberg has won my heart with this series. Of course, in the "About the author" it says that she also plays ukulele, so that is a plus for her in my book.
I do hope that this series continues.

Another book that was hard to put down! This one was more of mystery than romance. I wished for more kissing, but surprisingly it still kept me very interested and always guessing. Often I can predict things that will happen in the book/endings. My guesses were never correct on this one and I appreciated that it had unique ideas that were not predictable in the slightest. She introduced more characters in this book and I certainly hope we see more books as part of this series! So many possibility! Love love!
