Okay, it may be impossible to top my favorite fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire and the Wheel of Time, but Michael G. Manning’s work is in that league. Here I rave about his Art of the Adept series, which starts with The Choice of Magic and ends with The Wizard’s Crown. Fans had problems with the tragic ending, but he wrote an ongoing sequel series to address that. I enjoyed Wizard in Exile and Daughter of the Dragon.
