H.G. Parry's The Magician's Daughter
I had started reading a different book and was just not into the writing style at all, so was very relieved to try this one and immediately get hooked. It’s about a teenage girl in 1912, who was shipwrecked on an enchanted island as a baby, so she’s been raised by the magician and his rabbit familiar who live there, and she’s never even seen another person (she is a big reader, and all her knowledge of humanity comes from classic novels, lol). But magic is leaving the world and things are getting dangerous, and soon she’s caught up in all sorts of magical adventures and mysteries! And also learning class-consciousness! I just really loved reading this even when things got dark or tense—I had faith that the author would make it all work. And she did. A.
