Book Review: The Geomagician by Jennifer Mandula | Historical Fantasy, Academic Fantasy

Love books? Looking for honest book reviews and book recs?

Whether you're a lifelong reader, crawling out of a reading slump, or just need a trusted voice to help you find a great story — you're in the right place. Today’s book is "The Geomagician" by Jennifer Mandula.

When a Victorian fossil hunter discovers a baby pterodactyl, she vows to protect him with the help of a fellow scholar - her former fiance. This episode clocks in over my customary 15 minutes because there's so much going on in this book — and that's not always a good thing.
