Ross Murdock is offered choice: Go to prison, or participate in a government program. Roos chooses the government program, which turns out to be a SECRET government program, and involves POed Russians, POed alien, and time travel. Good story, I read it when I was a kid, this time it was the Project Gutenberg e-book edition.
Writing as Andrew North, Ms. Norton give us another exciting story in the Solar Queen series. This is #3. Dane Thorson gets involved in a conflict between apparent magic and poachers.
Lesson one of The Scholomance. So Galadriel is a student at this place called, you guessed it, The Scholomance. It is a school for magicians. With no apparent staff. And no one can leave, mostly, until they graduate. Which isn't a given as there are tons of "mals" trying to kill them. I like the character, I'll be looking forward to the next book.
A Hugo nominee for 2019. Pretty good story, a version of Rumpelstiltskin. I got lost more than twice, 'cause sometimes I couldn't figure out which character was speaking for a few pages!
Hard to describe. A girl is unexpectedly selected to serve the magician "ruler" of their valley. But it's more complicated than that, and there are many twists and turns along the way. Great book, but didn't care for the smoochie parts. At least there were only a couple of those.
