Scholar of Magic by Michael G. ManningMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
As this series is dead-set on proving that a truly PROPER foundation for magic is absolutely necessary, it's a breath of fresh air to get to truly spread your wings and show off as a proper sophomore in magical high-school. Or as a husband to the daughter of the king, where the king would rather flog you than speak to you.
But, hey, he's a USEFUL idiot.
I having a genuinely great time with this series. No real power-creep, despite the whole vampire-infestation of the city and hey, let's vaporize everything to solve the issue type plot. Everything follows quite naturally, and the plot threads are being laid in truly delicious ways.
I can't WAIT for the next.
Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.
Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
