2021 book 238

 Margaret Mahy's The Magician of Hoad

This was an interesting and somewhat odd fantasy book, following three children—a boy gifted with magic, a prince, and a noble girl—as they grow up being used as pawns in various political machinations. Some parts of this I figured out and some parts surprised me, and it always seemed to zig when I thought for sure it would zag. But in a satisfying way! Really cool characters (especially the magician) and unusual antagonists. A-.
