Yesterday's Magic book. Although, I’m eternally glad I found the series after Service had published the new books. I hate coming into a series only to discover it isn’t finished and the author hadn’t put out a new book in years.

And then once the last holdouts like Glamorganshire and possibly Manchester were pulled into the union, they might at last have the peace that Arthur so longed for.

I was so excited when I discovered that this sequel was being written to "Winter of Magic's Return" and "Tomorrow's Magic." It picks up only a year after where "Tomorrow's Magic" left off, which creates a great sense of continuity after such a long real-time gap between the books! Honestly, I didn't love "Yesterday's Magic" as much as "Winter of Magic's Return," but that's probably because I imagined the story continuing differently; I first read this series when I was a kid about 8 years ago, so I've had a lot of time to imagine a different plot-line since finishing "Tomorrow's Magic." My reading proficiency and tastes have also changed so much since I was a child that I'm reading this 3rd book from a much different perspective than the ones I first read 8 years ago. Overall, this book is an excellent continuation of the "Tomorrow's Magic" series, and I hope that Ms. Service doesn't wait another 20 years to write a fourth installment!

The sequel to TOMORROW'S MAGIC packs a definite punch. Hundreds of years into Earth's future, humanity has lost control of its nuclear weapons and destroyed much of the planet, plunging the world into another ice age and killing off most of the human population. Years later, civilization is starting to rebuild in those few pockets of human life that remain, but this civilization looks very different from the one that preceded it. For one thing, the high levels of radiation have mutated numerous plants, creatures, and even humans, and those who have escaped extreme mutations have still been changed by their surroundings. But the other, more significant development is the resurgence of magical power into the world and the appearance of new forms of magic.

In the previous novel, British schoolchildren Heather and Welly opened up a portal to the Otherworld known as Avalon and brought back King Arthur with the intent of reuniting Britain. They also discover Merlin, who as a result of a spell he has used to cheat time is now a young boy again, the same age as Heather and Welly. Unfortunately, the return of magic into the world also heralds the return of Morgan Le Fay, evil sorceress bent on uniting the world to much darker purposes.

The conflict in YESTERDAY'S MAGIC begins when Morgan, thought to have been defeated, rigs an elaborate trap to kidnap Heather in order to drain her of her magical powers. Merlin, who is in love with Heather, runs to her rescue despite the caution of his friends that he may be Morgan's real target. The resulting chase leads Merlin around the world, where he encounters other civilizations that have survived the Devastation and are beginning to rebuild, all the while attempting to save Heather and protect these fledgling civilizations from Morgan's evil.

I hadn't read the previous novel in the series before picking this one up, but the richness of backstory present within the book had me itching for a copy of its predecessor within chapters. The author does a good job of presenting characters and their relationships with a sense of depth, giving not just an idea of who they are now, but who they were in the previous book and how their relationships have developed over the course of time. I also enjoyed her small details about the setting that helped me get a sense for the time--Heather's two-headed, two-tailed "mutie" dog comes to mind, as does a schoolchild's plastic lunchbox that is revered as treasure because plastic can no longer be manufactured and so much of it was destroyed during the Devastation. Service's blend of a new world and old magic makes for a compelling read.
