5.0

The second installment in Kate MacRitchie's Fireside Tales Treasury series, Fireside Magic teems with dark powers and witches who may or may not have good intentions. Its lyrical prose takes you in a heartbeat in the glens and forests of Scotland, ready to meet girls thwarted of their inheritance or aunts & grandmothers whose quirks may hide something dark... Or a hindered light. These 5 stories are eery and beautiful. I think I enjoyed them even more than Fireside Fairy Tales, which conjured up creatures from folklore.
