Od Magic by Patricia A. McKillip

4.0

I have a weakness for McKillip books. Her writing is breathy and ethereal, a kind of magic in itself. She always manages to draw me in and wrap the story around me so tightly that I dread the book ending. Od Magic is classic McKillip at her best. This isn't her strongest book but not her weakest either - it's a good solid offering filled with whimsy and gorgeous prose. Highly recommended for anyone that enjoys fantasy and magic. McKillip can be wordy at times and is prone to long passages of description, which in other authors annoys me most of the time, however her word choices and description are so well done that it's one of the aspects I look forward to in her books. I can't wait to see how she has adapted her descriptive style to the individual needs of each book. Od Magic is, not to be cliched, rather magical.
