Do yourself a favour and read these books, if you're into steampunk/alternative history/with a bit of romance thrown in (yay for Aubrey). Love them.
We Love YA
Michael Pryor's fourth volume in the successful Laws of Magic series is a creative and exciting novel for young adults.

Michael Pryor continues to amaze readers with his inventive ingenuity … With the rest of the series, Time of Trial is recommended for those who enjoy speculative fiction incorporating magical, rational, inter-personal and political elements in an action-packed plot.
Magpies
Full of action, Time of Trial quickly immerses readers in the exciting alternate world of sophisticated magic and political intrigue that distinguishes 'The Laws of Magic' as a must-read series. Pryor's clever use of Victorian-era language and skilful character development lends Time of Trial a charming and entertaining style that will reward 13-plus teens and adults alike.
Bookseller + Publisher
This has to be one of the best young adult magic fantasy series I've read in a long time. There is always one more layer of story and you will find yourself gleefully anticipating the next twist. Brilliant storytelling!
The Reading Stack
Oh, joy, another of Michael Pryor's delightful steampunk adventures of Aubrey, Caroline and George!

As always, the adventure tears along at a breakneck pace, and is very funny. And it doesn't let you go easily … I think the series will become a fantasy classic.
