Faris Nallaneen, 18-year-old Duchess of Galazon, is sent off to Greenlaw College by her uncle Brinker, who has his eye on her properties. She befriends Jane Brailsford, an accomplished English student, and undertakes the study of magic. That magic will save her life, her friends, and ultimately, the world when she and Jane become entangled with Samuel Lambert, an American sharpshooter from Wyoming who is called in by Glasscastle College (the male counterpart of Greenlaw) for their secret Agincourt project.

Parce qu'il FAUT lire ces deux romans. Parce qu'ils vont vous enchanter comme ils vous faire rire ou frémir. Parce que c'est beau. Parce que c'est bien. Et parce qu'en plus, ça manque les livres où la magie n'est pas qu'un prétexte (ou qu'un joli mot dans le titre ou la quatrième de couverture). -
Between the two novels, I do prefer the second, which focuses on Jane and a romantic interest for her, though she does have a large role in the first novel as well. Really, Jane is the best, with her love of tea, sandwiches, and sticky ginger cake. She is very sensible, but not above the ridiculous, and more than a match for any who would get in her way. Great characters!

Yeah--pretty much fantastic. Although I kind of liked A College of Magics best, even if it was a bit confusing at times.

The first book (A College of Magics) was much better than the second (A Scholar of Magics). It was good, but not amazing.

Very enjoyable--loved the setting, a magical Europe at the cusp of technological innovation.
