Gillengaria seethes with unrest. In the south, hostility toward magic and its users has risen to a dangerous level, though King Baryn has ordered that such mystics are to be tolerated.

Spellsinger
AuthorAlan Dean Foster
ISBN0743498259
When I was young and dumb--even dumber than I am now--I spent a summer as a live-in staff member at a prestigious, World's-Top-Hideaways-list-making New Zealand luxury lodge, waiting tables and working housekeeping. For a hundred bucks a week in my pocket. This is one of the numerous downsides to having...
A Malady of Magicks
AuthorCraig Shaw Gardner
ISBN0441516629
Picked this up off a book swap shelf at a railway station, and now I understand why it was left there. Complete rubbish.

The Moment of the Magician
AuthorAlan Dean Foster
ISBN5555661347
The series is beginning to drag
4 February 2012

I guess the Spellsinger series are beginning to drag on by this time. As I mentioned previously, one of the main reasons that I continued reading them was because I wanted to see if Talea would return, but I guess by the time I reached this book...
The Time of the Transference
AuthorAlan Dean Foster
ISBN5555661606
In the talking-animal world of Foster's Spellsinger series, the songs of transplanted rock musician Jon-Tom make a powerful if often misdirected magic. The quests he undertakes for his wizardly mentor send him to distant countries, where he meets whimsical creatures speaking in outlandish accents....
The Octopus and the Orangutan: New Tales of Animal Intrigue, Intelligence, and Ingenuity
AuthorEugene Linden
