Sharon Shinn's Mystic and Rider
Been saving this Sharon Shinn series for a rainy day, because I was sure I’d like it. And this first volume is great! A small band of people--mystics (gifted with magical abilities, like shape shifting and fire powers) accompanied by a pair of Riders (the king's elite soldiers) set out to investigate rumors of a growing rebellion in the kingdom. Magical adventures, danger, religious fanaticism, political plotting, and a slow-building romance ensue, secrets are revealed, etc. I loved all the characters and their friendships, and can't wait to see where this series goes next. A/A-.
