The Magic Thief: A Proper Wizard by Sarah Prineas, Antonio Javier Caparo
4.0
3.5
Short story in the world of Magic Thief, a wizard comes from another city to ask the great wizard Connwaer for help with a magical problem they're having. He's rather surprised to come across Conn - not at all the proper wizard he was expecting.
I really enjoyed this story. Lots of wry humor, which made me wish there was more of this humor/style in book 4 (which I read before this). It was fun to watch Verent come to see that a proper wizard isn't about the beard or the robes, but the magic and learning and trying new things.
It was cool to see that other magicians have read Conn's treatise on the connection of magic and dragons and find it worthwhile and true, and aren't as short-sighted and doltish as the Wellmet magisters.
