Newt Emerald Garth Nix Books

I found Garth nix in the public library when i was a young teen. I fell in love with the old kingdom series. Forgot about it then returned to it as an adult and fell in love all over again. This book has the same feel as his other writings, however, you can tell keeping up with the propriety of the Regency period was a bit like being strangled to death. I'm glad he was able to deliver a shining heroine (as usual) with a little dash of love story sprinkled on top

Newt Emerald Garth Nix Books Reviews

More juvenile than his other books but a great story I could not put down would recommend the author to anyone.
A fun Regency romance mixed with fantasy and magic!
NEWT'S EMERALD was a delightful Regency romp with magic. It reminded me of the best of Georgette Heyer.

Lady Truthful Newington has grown up in the country with the company of her cousins and the supervision of her Admiral father. Now she has reached the age when she will be sent to London to make her presentation to Society and find herself a husband. However, before she can embark, her father shows her the Newington Emerald which will be hers when she reaches age 21. The emerald is a magical object which has been in the family for many generations. But a sudden storm and an unknown intruder arrive and, when things settle down, the emerald is missing. Her father is taken ill and in moments of lucidity he tells Truthful that he fears the loss of the emerald will destroy the family's luck.

Truthful travels to London to stay with her Great-Aunt Ermintrude and locate the emerald. Her great-aunt reveals hidden depths and encourages her to dress as a man to search for the emerald. Luckily, her great-aunt is a talented sorceress who places a spell on Truthful's false mustache to encourage the deception.

Truthful, now Henri de Vienne, runs into Major Charles Harkness who is convinced that Truthful is a French spy. Having been disappointed in love, Charles says some rude things about Truthful which makes her eager to live down to his opinion of her.

However, the two of them need to work together to defeat the evil sorceress who stole the emerald and along the way, and despite many misunderstandings, the two fall in love. What I especially enjoyed in this story was the Truthful saves Charles's life at least three times. She is no fainting, helpless heroine.

The characters were engaging, the plot was fast-paced, and the setting was intriguing. Other similar books include Georgette Heyer's Regency romances, Jane Austen's novels, and, for readers who want some magic with their Regency story, SHADES OF MILK AND HONEY by Mary Robinette Kowal or SORCERY AND CECILIA by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer.
I really love the tongue-in-cheek tone that Garth Nix gets across in his standalones, and I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure. It could have been faster paced in some spots, perhaps, but it was a great read to settle into and enjoy. Would definitely recommend for fans of the genre!
Magic, a stolen emerald, two people falling in love though neither one knows who the other really is, and an alternate regency London make for a spirited story by someone who can truly spin a tale.I was looking for a good story that didn't involve war- gore- werewolves-saving the universe(such an overdone cliche!) And this fits the bill.
I think NIx's Abhorsen series is amazing, so I was intrigued with the idea of a Regency period book by him.
I was not disappointed.
This has fun characters, humor, great danger, daring do!
Enjoy yourself and read it!
Very cute and sticks admirably to the tropes of the genre. But, overall, a missed opportunity in that the characters never quite get fully fleshed out. Feels more like an outline of a book than the real thing. Shame to see Nix cashing in on his (just) fame to sell mediocre books.
