pickMachiavelli is a baddie in the series, but here we see him doing some good and protecting the chill fern of Paris during the French Revolution. This little story is worth every page, as Machiavelli risks the ire of Black Annis to help poor children and their families. It fits with his governmental roll in the main series quite nicely. Apparently he‘s been protecting Paris for quite some time.

julesG This short story in particular. 4y
GingerAntics @julesG it just came out three days ago, so that‘s probably why. He‘s returned to this series and a new short story comes out every month for the next severs months. I know it goes into 2021. 4y
julesG Thanks! 4y
GingerAntics @julesG you‘re welcome! I love exploring the world of this series. I had no idea anyone else had read this series. 4y
julesG I loved this series. Just bought the first five books, in translation, for the kids. 4y
GingerAntics @julesG oh cool! I hope they enjoy them. 4y
julesG Just bought the two stories. 4y
GingerAntics @julesG I can‘t wait to hear what you think. 4y
Ericalambbrown OMG! If I‘d had just seen this as a poster out of context, I‘d have thought this was some Harry Potter fantasy ripoff Michael Scott from the Office cooked up. Much like his awful Threat Level Midnight screenplay. 😂 I totally had to do a double take like “wait . . . what?” 4y
GingerAntics @Ericalambbrown maybe that‘s why some reviewers have said it‘s an HP rip off. It‘s nothing like HP, other than it has magic; but in this world anyone can learn magic. 4y
GingerAntics @Ericalambbrown this is a prequel short story, but it will make more sense if you‘ve read the series first. The main series is really good if you like magic, adventures, good vs evil, and of course some prophesied twins (with a twist on that front at the end). I‘ve read the series twice now, but I‘m thinking I‘m going to do a chapter a day next year like we did with HP this year. 4y
Ericalambbrown @GingerAntics it sounds wonderful! Honestly I saw Michael Scott‘s name and went straight to thinking about the office 😂 4y
GingerAntics @Ericalambbrown is that a character name from the show? I haven‘t seen it. 4y
Ericalambbrown @GingerAntics yes! He‘s the obnoxious boss in the American version. 4y
GingerAntics @Ericalambbrown oh okay. I don‘t think that guy wrote a book. This Michael Scott is nicer than that. 😂 4y
GingerAntics @Ericalambbrown oh that‘s Steve Carell‘s character. Okay. That‘s pretty much the only person I know from that show. 😂 (edited) 4y
