In this sequel to The Cabinet of Earths, Maya and her friend Valko struggle to outwit Henri de Fourcroy's spell, contending with convulsive waves of magic that promise to change not just Paris but all the world. The logic of Nesbet's plot is rather ornate, but there's plenty of strength and charm here--especially in the animated, personal voice of the narrator.
