The Master Magician by Charlie N Holmberg (The Paper Magician #3)

Hello again!

We’ve made it to the last installment of the book review series for The Paper Magician trilogy! If you haven’t been following along, or just arrived here, check out the review for book one, The Paper Magician, here, and the review for book two, The Glass Magician, here.

So, on to book three,  The Master Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg.

Ceony Twill has become a skilled Folder, and thanks to some secret knowledge, can also use any of the other material magics. Her relationship with Magician Emery Thane has deepened, so he sends her to be tested by Magician Pritwin Bailey, a fellow Folder who despises Emery and, by extension, his apprentice. When a murderous criminal from Ceony’s past escapes custody, she decides to track and stop him before he can do any more damage. But all of her skills might not be enough to defeat the one magic she doesn’t have.

Can I Halve it? Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken with Fried Rice

Hello again!

I’ve got a new series for you today!

I have been actively trying to lose weight now for over a year. I’ve made some progress, almost fifty pounds, and over that time I’ve been trying to find delicious recipes that fit into my daily calorie range. Sometimes a recipe sounds so good that I just can’t ignore it, and I have to skimp on other meals to fit it in. So I wondered, if I tried, could I cut the calories in these heavy recipes in half?
