...even if fantasy isn't your typical genre (it isn't mine either), I strongly recommend reading The Magpie Lord anyway. It really is worth a try. Trust me.6 hours and 48 minutes ago I started reading this book. (Minus ca. 1.5 hours in which I watched TV while having breakfast.)So that right there? Should be enough of a clue as to what I think about The Magpie Lord.It has a plot! A very decent, captivating and engaging one at that. I really, really have to admit that this was easiliy one of the best published books I've read all year.Recent experiences with published books were mediocre overall, at best. (Which is why my recent reads are mostly freebies of the fanfic variety..)The magic part, the mystery and suspense part and the romance part are amazingly well done, and as a first of a series, I'm quite curious how the main characters will develop in the sequels. Can't wait.Again: Recommended!
