Like Touch of Power, this book clearly exhibited the superb writing I’ve come to expect from Maria V. Snyder. Even better, she completely fixed the pacing issue I had with the first one. Instead of dragging at the beginning, this book started off fast. The author kept the tension and excitement high...

Scent of Magic is the second book in the Healer series by Maria V. Snyder. It is full of epic fantasy world-building, magic and scheming in addition to our favorite love birds ;-).

A quick and enjoyable fantasy story, Scent of Magic is the sequel to Touch of Power. I enjoyed Touch of Power, but found some faults with it that I couldn't entirely forget. Scent of Magic has a whole bunch of faults of its own.Every one except Kerrick thinks Avry is dead. This puts her in a very co...
