Yay, forum is fixed so I can come chat in here now!
Thanks Mervi!
Currently reading Book 3 of the Magister's Trilogy by CS Friedman. She also wrote the Coldfire Trilogy, which is great.
The magic is super interesting in this book in that people with the ability to wield magic use their own life-force each time they do a spell... so their lives are shorter than most people. And it makes them really think about the cost of spells before they're used. That doesn't really say much about the story/trilogy, just the magic system. It's very good. IMO
