Patricia McKillip’s The Book of Atrix Wolfe
I’ve been saving a couple of books by McKillip for a rainy day, but book 150 of the year felt like it deserved something special. And this is really one of her masterpieces, about a mage who made a horrible mistake while trying to stop a war, and the people who are still caught up in that mistake twenty years later, particularly a young sorcerer prince and a scullery maid under an enchantment (very fairy tales vibes here). Lots of magic and sadness and hope, and I loved the ending. SUPER good. A.
