Charmed Life

Thanks to booktok, I found out that the Chrestomanci series appears to have been some inspiration for HP <spoiler>(a wizard who cannot be named or he is summoned, wicked witches and wizards, a magical government, something similar to a horcrux etc)</spoiler> so had to read Charmed Life. It's a lovely book, I loved Howls Moving Castle so was a fan of the writer already. 

A story about two kids being brought in by a magician. The girl is a powerful magician while her brother isn't. It was kind of annoying how little was explained until the end. It wasn't a mystery thing, just wasn't explained.  Also, a lot of things are done without reprocessing. but cut,e easy rea,d and is supposed to be more for children, so some things are to be expected
