#48 Mislaid in Parts Half-Known by Seanan McGuire

 As a long time fan of the series this keeps getting better and better with the rotation of characters. This continues Antsy’s story returning to her world of a large shop that contains missing items.  Antsy and several other students that we have seen before in the series have to run from another student and the way back leads through the store.  But things are not how she left them.  Along the way they go to Kade’s world, and we find out more about it.  I’m sad about some things in the book but won’t say them here but the biggest thing is now it is spelled out just how the doors power themselves.

#49 Valdemar by Mercedes Lackey

 

This book finally has the Companions showing up. It is set about ten years after the previous book and has a mage in the North setting their sights on their new country.  The Companions arrive after a prayer to every known deity of the people is offered and they are answered. Other things get started in this book as well and things are also deliberately removed from their history.  A good story and I’m glad that it is finally on paper.
