The Armies of Daylight by Barbara Hambly
4.0
I really like how Barbara Hambly writes wizards. Before I started reading her books, I'd been reading a lot of fantasy without magic or with other kinds of magic and I'd forgotten how much I like them.
I also think she's quite good at evil forces that are actually creepy.
She seems to have a thing about younger-warrior-woman/older-wizard relationships, which I can get behind except for the age difference part (e.g., in this series I liked both Gil and Ingold a lot, but them ending up as a couple weirded me out because their dynamic was too parent/child and he was old enough to be her grandfather).
