Robin Jarvis is enjoying mining this area of fiction with powerful hocus-pocus wizardry set here in roughly believable seventeenth-century London, with Plague and Great Fire as plot extras. There are key parts for the cats and some fire and brimstone scenes of magic warfare. Stirring stuff, sustained admirably with yet more to come.
