Summary
Paula Brackston's City of Time and Magic is the next installment in the time-traveling Found Things Series.
City of Time and Magic sees Xanthe face her greatest challenges yet. She must choose from three treasures that sing to her; a beautiful writing slope, a mourning brooch of heartbreaking detail, and a gorgeous gem-set hat pin. All call her, but the wrong one could take her on a mission other than that which she must address first, and the stakes could not be higher. While her earlier mission to Regency England had been a success, the journey home resulted in Liam being taken from her, spirited away to another time and place. Xanthe must follow the treasure that will take her to him if he is not to be lost forever.
Xanthe is certain that Mistress Flyte has Liam and determined to find them both. But when she discovers Lydia Flyte has been tracking the actions of the Visionary Society, a group of ruthless and unscrupulous Spinners who have been selling their talents to a club of wealthy clients, Xanthe realizes her work as a Spinner must come before her personal wishes. The Visionary Society is highly dangerous and directly opposed to the creed of the Spinners. Their actions could have disastrous consequences as they alter the authentic order of things and change the future. Xanthe knows she must take on the Society. It will require the skills of all her friends, old and new, to attempt such a thing, and not all of them will survive the confrontation that follows.

Wonderful, just wish there was another one!
Marisa Calin is my very favourite narrator, she totally makes the story. In fact I’ve now listened to all of Paula Brackston’s audio books and feel at a loss not knowing what and where I can escape to. This story is very clever, marrying it up with The Shadow Chronicles and leaving the ending open to carry on with many more books. Can’t wait!!

Once again Paula Brackston did it!
If you follow the adventures through time of Xanthe then you won't be disappointed. Paula still manages to surprise us with some twists in the story line. You finish the book sad that you will have one year to wait for more adventure. But then I always look forward to re-reading the series before the new book come out.

Over too soon!
I had waited patiently for this next book and was not disappointed. As in previous books, I was spellbound. I can honestly say I’m a BIG fan of Paula Brackston‘s writing. Please keep them coming.

Enchanting and dramatic
Loved this not only for another great time travel with Found Things but also because it had an amazing link with Paula Brackstons Shadow Chronicles books.
Great narration as well

Spinning again
After being left on a cliff edge of a finish in the last book of the series of Found Things, I was looking forward to City of Time and Magic and how Xanthe was going to cope with the situation that she was in at the end of Garden of Promises and Lies and I was not disappointed. Xanthe is back in 17th century London , and along with Harley she tracks down Mistress Flyte, encounters Erasmus Balmoral and Elizabeth and then take on the Visionary Society. Elizabeth is interesting, in that she is a main character from The Witch’s books by Paula, and I was wondering how she would handle this, as with my nerd hat on, I have been use to this happening in the DC comics series when the heroes often cross over to help each other and for me the paring up of Xanthe and Elizabeth worked really well, in fact you could say they were the bell’s of the ball,once again we have a page turner by a master storyteller, that is beautifully written and I hope we will have more of Xanthe in the future.

Brilliant!
I have so enjoyed this series, took every opportunity to listen.
If you love historical time travel, you won't be dissappointed.
Narrator is fabulous, changing her voice seamlessly for each believable character.
I very much hope that adventures for Xante and Liam will continue very soon! :-)
