Victoria Goddard's Stargazy Pie
The first book in Goddard's Greenwing and Dart series sets up her world pretty nicely--fantasy land, different countries, magic, manners, aristocrats, traitors, colleges, etc--as our scandal-dogged protagonist returns from a failed stint at school and an unhappy romance to his small hometown to work at the local bookstore (where his boss is a very awesome middle aged woman). But there are mysteries afoot! Parts of this were a bit slow but on the whole it was very enjoyable. B+.
