Descripción editorial
The Magicians meets One Last Stop in the sequel to Remedial Magic by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr!
After discovering she's a witch and being whisked away to the magical land of Crenshaw, Ellie wants nothing more than to spend time with her new wife, Prospero, who has magically altered Ellie's memories to convince her of exactly that.
Prospero herself is guilt-wracked after erasing Ellie's memories and being forced into a sham marriage with the woman she loves for real. But Crenshaw is dying, poisoned by Prospero's enemies who want their community to return to the human world, and she will do anything to save it.
The most powerful witch in anyone's memory is in Prospero's home, in her bed, with no idea that she's a prisoner there... yet.
As the very fabric of their world is being destroyed, Ellie and Prospero must find a way to work together and save the world, and themselves.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The rocky sequel to Marr's Remedial Magic picks up moments after the earlier book left off: Ellie Brandeau, the only witch with the power to save the magical town of Crenshaw from the blight unleashed on it by a rival witch faction, no longer remembers that she tried to escape Crenshaw and everyone in it. Her wife, Prospero, has magically erased her memories on orders from the town's head witch. All Ellie knows is that she loves Prospero madly, and she can't understand why Prospero seems so uncomfortable with her now. As Ellie begins the work of healing Crenshaw, she finds more gaps in the story she's been given by her wife and the townsfolk—and she's not the only one who thinks she should know what really happened to her. But when the witches who poisoned Crenshaw make a break for the nonmagical world and begin wreaking havoc, Ellie and Prospero must work together to bring them under control, which means finding a way to rebuild their mutual trust. Marr attempts to navigate ethically difficult situations with morally gray characters, but often lands on resolutions that feel too easy. Without some major groveling on Prospero's part, it's hard to root for this couple's reconciliation. Die-hard fans of book one will find plenty to enjoy, but others will be frustrated.
