The Mageborn Traitor, by Melanie Rawn
The Mageborn Traitor is the average middle-of-a-trilogy book: it marks some time between the first and last books while advancing the story a bit. I'm left with mixed feelings: personal detachment from its characters, annoyance at the societal setup, and a certain amount of interest in what happens next. Read the full review by Sara Lipowitz.
The Magic Engineer, by L.E. Modesitt Jr.
The Tale of Dorrin, the young blacksmith from order-bound Recluce, cast away because of his desire to build machines. I give him a rose for effort. Read the full review by A.G..
The Magic Touch, by Jody Lynn Nye
Nye's Magic Touch is a classic urban fantasy: the good guys are good, the bad guys dress in black, and the resolution depends on an awfully good magic gimmick. Without making light of her character's difficulties, Nye has written a cheerful fantasy with a happy ending for all concerned. Read the full review by Becky Parkhurst.
Mathemagics, by Margaret Ball
Even if you're a rough, tough, ass-kicking mercenary from another dimension, there are hazards a sword-bearing soldier never dreamed of. Welcome to the Planet of the Paper Pushers. Other than my usual gripes with books of this sort, the story is funny and reads fairly quickly, though little enough of it stuck in my mind. Read the full review by Becky Parkhurst.
The Moon and the Sun, by Vonda N. McIntyre
The Moon and the Sun deftly mixes fantasy and history to form a compelling story that carries some subtle messages about the definition of true humanity. Read the full review by Sara Lipowitz.
