review:
Amelia Cole knows how to use magic. In our world of science, it stands out. In the world of magic, not so much. When she finds herself in a hybrid world of magic and science, she ends up using her powers to help the mundane population that can't, or won't, use magic.
When Amelia is trapped in this new world, she finds herself at odds with the police and a shadowy protector who don't want the citizens using magic. But Amelia can't help herself, and she seems to have stronger powers in this world. She creates a large golem named Lemmy and befriends him.
This was a lot of fun. Amelia Cole is a very likeable heroine, who is always hungry. She takes matters into her own hands, even when it seems like she has no plan. The supporting characters are fun and likeable, from the landlord she works for to the people on the street she befriends. The art also has lots of great background details like flying dragons over skyscrapers, and was that Shaggy of Scooby Doo fame? This looks like it's part of a series, but this books stands completely on it's own. The story took me a few pages to catch up on, but wasn't a problem.
