Book description

Dearest Eleanor,
I'm writing this with my earbuds still in, utterly spent but buzzing. You have to hear Maria Grace's Wrighting Old Wrongs as an audiobook-truly, it's the perfect way to sink into this world. I've been living in Rebecca Fuller's cramped, soot-stained shop for the past three hours, and I'm still buzzing.
Let's be real: controlling fire, earth, water, air with a touch sounds like a dream job. But as Rebecca keeps reminding us (and the audiobook narrator nails her dry, exhausted wit), it barely pays the bills. She's drowning in her father's debts, stuck in a Guild that won't let her charge what she needs to survive, and utterly unappreciated for her unconventional approach. And David Enright? Oh, he's the Guild's rulebook incarnate-procedural, stiff, and utterly convinced Rebecca is a walking violation of every policy. He wouldn't be caught dead near her chaotic, elemental magic.
But here's the magic: the audiobook makes their clash feel electric. Rebecca's sharp, stubborn voice (the narrator gives her such a lovely, weary warmth) clashes perfectly with David's crisp, precise delivery. You can hear the tension when he says, "The Guild violated its own rules," and she retorts, "I'd like to see you try to charge me for that." It's not just talking-it's living in their heads, the way she grinds her teeth at her bills, the way he stiffens when she defies protocol.
And the slow burn? Chef's kiss. David's not some brooding hero-he's a man who hates chaos, yet he's the one who'd have to ask the woman he's spent months avoiding to save his own Guild. The way the audiobook builds their tension-just a flicker of curiosity, a shared glance over a broken air-elemental, a reluctant respect in their banter-it's so slow, so real, you'll find yourself holding your breath. You'll feel every second of his internal war: Rule-following is my life. But what if her chaos is the only thing that saves us?
The best part? It's so perfectly Jane Austen meets gaslamp fantasy. You can practically smell the coal smoke and hear the clatter of cogs as Rebecca works her magic. Grace writes like she's been in the Wrights' world for years-every detail, every rule, every whispered secret between Rebecca and her shop feels utterly lived-in. And the audiobook? The narrator's voice for Rebecca's frustration, David's clipped precision, the way they say "Guild" like it's both a blessing and a cage-it's immersive. You don't just listen; you step right into that world.
If you loved Gail Carriger's wit or V.E. Schwab's intricate worlds, Wrighting Old Wrongs is your new obsession. It's got heart, it's got magic that feels earned, and it's got a romance that doesn't need a single kiss to make you sigh. I'm already counting the hours until the next book.
P.S. The narrator's voice for Rebecca's dad (a ghostly, warm whisper) when she's alone in the shop? Chills. You'll hear it. You'll feel it. And then you'll be as hooked as I am.
Yours in breathless audiobook bliss,
Clara
