![]() ![]() I am also very fond of the other Ile-Rien books, particularly The Death of the Necromancer, which I described back in 2013 as “a bit like Les Miserables, if Jean Valjean was a burglar and he teamed up with Javert to fight sorcerous crime.” (A description which instantly makes me want to reread the book, if I do say so myself.) However, I stand by the suggestion to start with Element of Fire if you’re planning to read Death of the Necromancer, for maximum feels. Bonus: this series has weird magic, accidental travel to other worlds, friendships, and a very prosaic romance. I love Tremaine, one of the two protagonists for this series, a lot she reminds me in some ways of Julie Beaufort-Stuart, but if Julie was deeply depressed and didn’t like people all that much even though she also cares about them. Or, if you’d rather, you can try The Wizard Hunters, the first in the Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy. Maskelle is a middle-aged woman who is jaded and weary but also very competent and appealingly snarky. ![]() Let us begin where I did, with The Wheel of the Infinite, a secondary world fantasy featuring a protagonist who really would prefer not to. ![]()
