The Devil's Queen: A Novel of Catherine de Medici
Jeanne KalogridisEnjoyable historical fiction, well plotted, and good writing. The Ruggieri connections and dark magic elements are stretched a little far, but it all ties up in a neat package by the end. Not great literature, but entertaining. And still better than Phillipa Gregory, bleah.

Syren (Septimus Heap, Book 5)
Angie SageMy kids and I both enjoy this series, and this one was an okay installment.

Vincalis the Agitator
Holly LisleThis book adds so much to the Secret Texts trilogy! This is not just background, it's a whole context to the later stories, leading to a much deeper, richer understanding of the author's world of Matrin. Wonderful, fully dimensional characters, and a fascinating philosophy and examination of how evils can be justified by power. Intricate themes, and reminded me much of Ursula K. LeGuin's haunting story, "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas." Truly excellent.
