Fantasy rec: The Innocent Mage
I picked this book up at my local bookstore mainly because I was bored and none of my favorite authors had anything new out. Let me tell you it was a GREAT find, probably my best "I bored lets try this, random book" pick ever. It's by Karen Miller I blew through it's 500+ pages in 3 days. Normal bored picks take a week or two or I never finish them. It's fast paced and tells a great story about a truly unlikely character, I'm currently reading the second and final book in this tale The Awakened Mage and while it's not nearly as fast paced its still a good book.
