Series Review: The Kingston Cycle by C.L. Polk

Greetings and welcome to Reviews That Burn: Series Reviews, part of Books That Burn. Series Reviews discuss at least three books in a series and cover the overarching themes and development of the story across several books. I'd like to thank longtime Patron Case Aiken, who receives a monthly shoutout. This episode discusses The Kingston Cycle by C. L. Polk.  Full Audio Here    In an original world reminiscent of Edwardian England in the shadow of a World War, cabals of noble families use their unique magical gifts to control the fates of nations, while one young man seeks only to live a life of his own.

Clear Your Shit: Closing in (Free Book)

Heather and I both circle the Wizard, forcing him farther back in the room. His wizard tricks seem less strong in the tower for some reason. At least I assume that's why he hasn't poofed away again like he always seems to do. If we can keep him away from both the mirror and the door we have a shot. Heather has taken up a book in her free hand as an extra weapon and I decide this isn't such a bad idea. I grab the book nearest to me, Can't Take That Away by Steven Salvatore, and tighten my grip on the tooth club in my other hand. It's obvious at this point that the witch is the only one that can truly fix this and keep everyone in Shelfla from a lifetime of headaches. This Wizard has no idea how to fix it and clearly does not want word getting out that he's kind of useless. We begin slowly closing in on him waiting for the opportunity to strike.
