Point of Sighs

It's hard to believe it's been four years since the last book came out. And it was such a delight to settle in to the most wondrous and best-loved of secondary worlds. The main characters, Philip and Nico, seemed to have settled comfortably into their relationship, and the secondary characters are all vivid and interesting. An aspect of these books that I always particularly appreciate is that the crime/mystery has an inherent magical aspect to it, because magic is such a necessary component to the world - it isn't a crime that could have happened anywhere and is just decorated with magic bits. I love this series so much, each one more than the last.
