Small magics is a great read, and is a brilliant first novel from author Erik Buchanan. The characters are very interesting and well developed and the world Buchanan creates in the novel is vivid and imaginative. This is a quest novel, and it blends all the best features of the genre: valour, honour, friendship, running against the odds and being victorious in the end. The reference to magic, and to people who can use magic, in the novel is clever and unusual. Also, the fight sequences in this book are among the best I've ever read. This author knows his knives and rapiers, as well as how to write riveting chase sequences and fist fights. Definitely worth purchasing! A very exciting book.

Small Magics Eric Buchanan, you are in deep doo doo. Before I could start "Small Magics" my husband grabbed it, devoured it and kept pointing out how much better you are with tension than I am. He kept bursting into my writing room to read "excellent passages" to me. Urg! And I have to say - THEY ARE EXCELLENT!!! So, now he's finished reading it and the blinkin' book kept me up till 2:00 am last night. I couldn't quit reading. I had to get up at 6:00 am to get ready for my mundane work. You are evil and I love it. It was an excellent read!!

Its got an interesting story-line. But at the same time, it has got the simplicity and innocence. Story does indicate the writer knows about his weapons !! The description of the surroundings is pretty good. You feel absorbed in the environment.

Definately a good read.
