I first read this book as a teenager after searching out basically anything and everything of Patrica Wrede's (her Enchanted Forest Chronicles series basically represents my entire middle school reading experience considering how many times I've re-read it...). I was in love with it from the get-go; a novel written entirely in letters between two deviously smart and witty cousins trying to keep themselves and their odiously enigmatic love interests safe from certain disaster at the hands of witches and wizards?! Yes please, SIGN ME UP. 
 I've reread bits and pieces of this series as the years have gone by, but this is my first full reread of Sorcery & Cecelia in over 10 years and it was definitely needed! There is so much that I remember loving, but honestly so much more that I found to love with this latest read. I can't get over how perfectly awesome the two heroines are, and how great they are as role models to girls. I could only wish to have their propriety, sensibility, and tact at some point in my life! 
 The Regency era setting was done perfectly, and the way that magic was mixed in as a natural aspect of the time was done seamlessly. The romance was there, but did not overwhelm the plot in the slightest and the hate-to-love nature of both relationships was perfect. (Seriously though, if you love banterific dialogue, this is the book for you!) 
 I remember Grand Tour dragging a bit during the middle the last time I read it (although I was 17 and prone to fits of attention deficit), but I'm really wanting to re-read The Mislaid Magician now - I remember loving that one almost as much as I loved this first installment! Anywho - I loved this just as much (if not more) the second time around, and I am definitely going to re-up my attempts to get anyone and everyone I know that professes to love Regency era, magic, romance, or banter to give this one a shot!
