Publisher's summary

Paula Brackston's City of Time and Magic is the next installment in the time-traveling Found Things Series.

City of Time and Magic sees Xanthe face her greatest challenges yet. She must choose from three treasures that sing to her; a beautiful writing slope, a mourning brooch of heartbreaking detail, and a gorgeous gem-set hat pin. All call her, but the wrong one could take her on a mission other than that which she must address first, and the stakes could not be higher. While her earlier mission to Regency England had been a success, the journey home resulted in Liam being taken from her, spirited away to another time and place. Xanthe must follow the treasure that will take her to him if he is not to be lost forever.

Xanthe is certain that Mistress Flyte has Liam and determined to find them both. But when she discovers Lydia Flyte has been tracking the actions of the Visionary Society, a group of ruthless and unscrupulous Spinners who have been selling their talents to a club of wealthy clients, Xanthe realizes her work as a Spinner must come before her personal wishes. The Visionary Society is highly dangerous and directly opposed to the creed of the Spinners. Their actions could have disastrous consequences as they alter the authentic order of things and change the future. Xanthe knows she must take on the Society. It will require the skills of all her friends, old and new, to attempt such a thing, and not all of them will survive the confrontation that follows.

Decent addition to the Time Spinners series

It was a decent addition to the Time Spinners series. I think the author was hurrying through parts and the ending seemed a little anticlimactic. But overall I enjoyed the story and the narration.

Ongoing story

The way these stories read there will always be a next book with more adventures through time. I enjoy the continuation from book to book and look forward to where Xanthe is called to next. Definitely love that her support group is becoming more involved in her new calling as protector. I speed up the narration to 1.3.

Wonderful story

This is one of those series where you miss spending time with the characters when the story ends. I look forward to hopefully many more installments.

Just fantastic

Paula Brackston is my favorite author. For the longest time I would habitually read personal development books and her Found Things series broke my pattern and allowed me to escape, play with my imagination, and I truly loved every moment I spent listening & reading all three books. I’m sad it’s over, but I’m looking forward to reading through her others. Thank you!!

Love love love

This book was worth the wait. The story was fabulous and had me hooked from moment one. The performance was phenomenal. I have read two series by Paula and it was interesting to see them overlap in this story. Buy it!

LOVED THIS BOOK!

This, the third book in the series was so wonderful! The story & character development was perfect. The narration was excellent… I love Marisa’s tone & ability to do all the diverse characters expertly was impressive. I loved the first two books as well. This has become one of my favorite series! Can’t wait for the next book to be imagined & written! I’m a huge fan ❤️
