2010 book 201

Patricia Wrede's Mairelon the Magician
Wrede writes really fun historical fantasy books; in this one, teenager Kim (masquerading as a boy) is caught burgling a magician's wagon, and gets caught up in the usual web of magical intrigue. This actually reminds me a little of the Agency books (though it was written first), only with magic added, which of course makes everything better. This and its sequel are now in one volume called "A Matter of Magic" but I'm counting this on its own since it was originally a book on its own. B+.
