Patricia Wrede's Shadow Magic
Here I am diving into another fantasy series that I’ve somehow never read, even though I adore the author's Enchanted Forest Chronicles and the Sorcery and Cecelia books. This is a more traditional sort of fantasy, good vs evil, magical peoples (an elf analogue and some awesome and badass fox people, among others), battles, etc. Our protagonist is the daughter of a lord, but a fairly skilled one, who gets kidnapped by the baddies, setting some huge world events into action. The other POV character is her brother's merchant friend (and her love interest, though the romance is a minor part of the story, which I was fine with). Anyway, this was a very fun read, lots of cool women and interesting magic, looking forward to seeing where it goes next. A-.
