Dog Wizard

[enismirdal]

Well, I wrote this post earlier today, but then 1. ADSL died and 2. my computer crashed and took 4 reboots to get going again and by that time, the post was well and truly lost. So...

Yesterday, my copy of Dog Wizard arrived. This was a book I've been wanting extremely very much for absolutely ages, but is damned hard to get hold of. Finally managed to find a place via Amazon.co.uk that would ship it in from the US and cost me less than £44. Seemingly, it's not too hard to get across the pond, but by God, it's elusive here!

So it arrived, in perfectly readable condition (well, the dustjacket is missing, but what the hey), and a hardcover to boot. Am muchly pleased. Cost me £10-ish. Took forever to arrive, of course, but never mind - I have Teh Book!

So I'm pleased, rather a lot. *recommends Windrose Chronicles to anyone after a good read*

Ooh! New fantasy series with wind, dogs, and roses in recommendation! /me=read :)

Is the whole series non-existant over here, or just the most recent book?

It's about a mad wizard, an extremely cool character, as well as a HAWT warrior and a fabulous let's-just-bloody-get-on-with-it type of woman (not a weeping damsel!).

Oh, I read the first 2 books after borrowing from a local library. They're The Silent Tower and The Silicon Mage. The trouble with them is that they're all out of print now. But I think the first 2 are reasonably available.

Thanks. I don't think I've heard a more promising title than the silicon mage since cryptonomicon and mathamagician. Not that they lived up to them as such :(
