The Glass Magician picks up about three months after Ceony went chasing after the woman who literally stole Magician Emery Thane's heart and subsequently found herself caught in said heart (again literally). 
 This time, Ceony is under scrutiny for how she ultimately defeated Lira. There are those who want to know how she did it and what exactly she did. Those same people will resort to any means possible to figure out Ceony's secret. 
 The Glass Magician went by just as quickly as The Paper Magician. It did start out a little slow, but as soon as the point came where we knew Cenoy was in trouble, things picked up rather quickly. 
 The relationship between Ceony and Thane is still tenuous. They tip-toe around the revelations Ceony made to him while ensconced within his heart and Ceony doesn't know if her feelings for Thane are one-sided or reciprocated. I did like that Ceony was pretty level-headed about her feelings. True, she would get the flighty in love spacey kind of feeling (like butterflies in your stomach), but she would be quick to acknowledge them for what they were. She never got too over her head with her feelings. She does realize that he is still her teacher and may not feel the same way about her. 
 While I like Ceony's character a lot, and I love that she's this smart kind of take charge person, she it still prone to making some irritating choices, mainly in regards to those who are pursuing her for information. It's easy to forget that she's still just an apprentice magician. I think she herself forgets that sometimes as well. There are people who are more knowledgeable than Ceony, but it's her inexperience that causes her to make mistakes. Fortunately, it doesn't take away from that fact that, overall, I like her character. 
 The Glass Magician has a definite ending with a kind of promise of things to come, but I can't really guess where the author plans to take Ceony next. That's ok though. I'm very interested to read the final book in this trilogy. Since the first two books are coming out rather close to one another, I wish we already had a release date for the third in sight. 
 So far, this series has shown a very interesting take on magic. I really love the world created and can't wait to read more.
