Our heroine stumbles across a precarious plot while printing political pamphlets... Thanks to last Season's scandal, Miss Mnemosyne Seabourne is now officially notorious. Wintering in Town, she hopes to use her new celebrity to campaign about the unfair restriction on portal travel for ladies... while being quietly courted by a certain handsome spellcracker. As the river freezes over and a spectacular Frost Fair sets up on the ice, Mneme finds herself beset by secret societies, spies and sneaky saboteurs. Who stole her political pamphlets? Who is leaving dead bodies around printing presses for anyone to find? Mr Thornbury knows more than he's letting on. If she can't trust the man she hoped to marry, Mneme is just going to have to unravel the mystery for herself, quickly enough to save both of their lives. If you enjoy vintage spy adventures, flirtatious couples and cozy sleigh rides, you'll adore this exciting sequel novella to Tea and Sympathetic Magic.… (mais)

This was even better than Tea and Sympathetic Magic! Mneme is in Town, visiting Juno and Henry, being socially notorious, and spearheading a campaign about portal travel for women. There are political maneuverings! Spies! High manners! And, of course, tea and hedgehogs. This was so fun and I really hope there will be a book 3 in this series. I love it! (

I loved this installment of the Teacup Magic series! It's set during winter, when a cold snap has frozen the river solid enough to hold a fair atop it. Between the Frost Fair, the scandals left over from the conclusion of book one, new scandals we discover in this book, and the romance as our heroine gets closer to an engagement, this book is non-stop with fun scenes.

A whole new set of tumultuous events, set on and around a frozen river in the capital. There's even more confusing stuff going on, including several people with multiple agendas. Again, good but not great. (

Enjoyable read. Compared to book one, this was slightly less bat-shit, somewhat more political, much more serious and with even more intrigue. I found our protagonist, Miss Seabourne, to be a little less sympathetic as a character, and I'm not sure whether that was deliberate, or whether it had to do with the awkwardness of the setting.

However, there were hi-jinks and beautiful clothes, feminism and high-society to balance out the political seriousness. (
