I was thinking about buying the books of "A Wizards Life" but was undecided. This little pre-quel story decided me in favor of buying them.  The magic system (which is a make or break part of fantasy stories to me) is complex, based on astronomy. But, it is handled in such a way that you don't get sick of it.  The view of the relationships between wizards and ordinary people and wizards and their apprentices is one portraying wizards as kind of cruel, but was very interesting.  I found the story to be very good, and I sympathized with the main character well.  I liked it, so I would say give it a try.
