#24 Ann Finnan, The Sorcerer of Sainte Felice
, 360 pages.
Michael de Lorraine is to be burned at the stake as a sorcerer when he is saved by a strange monk and a conveniently timed rainstorm. Abbot Francis takes Michael back to his abbey in Sainte Felice where Michael discovers that all the monks there are sorcerers, hiding in plain sight under the nose of the Inquisition. But Abbot Francis has made some powerful enemies -- will their luck hold out, or will the Holy Office discover their secret? I really liked this one - it reminded me of Judith Tarr's The Hound and the Falcon trilogy (which I totally need to reread).
#25 Eoin Colfer, The Arctic Incident (Artemis Fowl, Book Two)
, 292 pages.
Second in the Artemis Fowl series - and already you can see the cracks in Artemis' ruthless facade. Not to mention it's just great fun.
#26 Gail Carriger, Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate)
, 400 pages.
I'm so sad there's only one book left in this series.
