Maria V. Snyder's Scent of Magic
The sequel to Touch of Power suffered a bit from middle-chapter syndrome, plus most of it takes place hanging out waiting for battles to start, which is less compelling than the story from the first book. I had forgotten how super creepy the villain is--a power-hungry magician with rapey tendencies and a zombie army. And the two main characters are separate for the entire book, longing for each other the whole time in an annoying manner. THAT SAID, this was still pretty entertaining, the world-building is interesting, there are fun new soldier characters, etc. I don't know, B/B+?
