T he only reason her sister Tabitha learned about her magical skills and place in magical society was that a teacher in elementary school happened to see her d o magic and happened to be a mage.Īs a twin, Ivy grew up feeling uniquely apart from her sister, who seemed to b e the golden child. Ivy Gamble lives in a world where mages exist, but the knowledge is passed around like an open secret. Instead, Gailey builds a world populated with diverse and realistic adult and teen characters and shows us its magic through the perspective of a pansexual private investigator. īut it doesn’t center on a grumpy male teenager’s point of view. It’s a book that will appeal to fans of Lev Grossman’s “The Magicians” series because it shares its real world versus w orld of magic setting and respect for the dangerous consequences of magic gone wrong. If you, like me, are a fan of magical worlds grounded in contemporary life, “Magic for Liars” should be on your to-read list.
