#23 The True Queen by Zen Cho

[missingvolume]

The book is a sequel, but you could read this without having read the first one since the main POV from the first book is barely in this one. Two sisters, one with magic and the other without travel to England from Janda Baik. They have no memory of their past but with a knowledge of languages they must have been the children of someone important. The sisters are trying to figure out who cursed them, and the trail leads to England. While traveling through Fairy to get there quickly the sisters are separated. Muna arrives in England at the school of the Sorceress Royal and pretends to have the magic that Sakti has. English society doesn’t approve of women using magic especially high-born ones and this causes no end of friction that Prunella is in charge of all the Sorcerers in the land. Muna wants to get her sister back from Fairy and Fairy wants to go to war with England over a missing magical amulet. Everything braids together by the last part of the book and works out well for everyone.
