Blake Charlton: Spellwright (Hardcover, 2010, Tor Books) 4 stars

The consequences of misspelling magic

4 stars

This was quite an interesting novel. It takes some familiar elements of fantasy, like druids, demons, dragons, etc but spins them around an intriguing magic known as spellwriting. The plot is fairly basic, but with some twists and turns and the characters are decent enough. The main selling point is the amount of detail spent into describing how the magic works and how it ties into everything that's going on.
