A few days ago someone on a writers' group posted that they re-read this every year. That kind of endorsement gets my attention, especially when the subject sounded like something that might give me an idea or two to goose a stalled fantasy story into motion again. Two wizards, Prospero and Roger Bacon, try to survive and defeat a malicious evil force.
It didn't get into the mechanics, and the two wizards weren't different enough to give my story (about conflicting sources of magic) any useful ideas, but the book was OK. It keeps one reading, and the descriptions and scenery are quite good. I wasn't too thrilled with the ending, but it made sense.
Writing has been like pulling teeth the past few months. Not sure why, but I suspect it's due to energy being diverted to trivia like healing.
