BL: Melusine (Monette, Sarah)
Sarah Monette, Melusine
Ace (2005) ISBN: 0-441-01286-8
Score: 2
Start of an unnamed high fantasy series; the title refers to a city ruled by wizards, though much of the book takes place outside of it. There are two POV characters (a wizard and a thief), but while they aren't nice people they still don't deserve all they're put through. This is one book that really needed a map and glossary but didn't get one; the author's website has a description of the calendar, but there are still things you have to figure out yourself (like that "hocus" means "wizard" not "demon", and I still don't know how much a "great septad" is).
Next Book: Charlie Fletcher, Stoneheart
