The novel’s ambitions get the better of it sometimes, with a few plot holes and underdeveloped characters as well as a startling absence of non-white people, but the well-constructed world and thrilling vibe more than make up for it. Breach A Cold War Magic Novel, Book 1 By: W.L. Goodwater sprinkles powerful truths about the nature of power into this entertaining tale of magic and espionage. Plots criss-cross and double-cross as Karen learns the truth of the Wall’s creation and the weapon it hides. Eager to prove herself, Karen leaps at a request from the State Department to investigate a growing breach in the Berlin Wall, which in this universe is an enormous construct of magical energy that divides the city and the world.
Her father, a veteran who saw firsthand how horribly magic was used in battle, is particularly scornful. Karen O’Neil is a researcher and magician whose sexist coworkers demean her for being a woman, while the public distrusts her for using magic. Arcane magic meets Cold War intrigue in this alternate history series opener from debut author Goodwater.
