    Why this is NOT a big fat fantasy...why you should read it!
  

*by W***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2003*

First, it really doesn't read like the sequel it is...it can be read standalone quite well.  Second, it reads like a terrifically well realized alternate history, rather than another of the ubiquitous elves-dwarves-and-orcs fantasies we are inundated with.  Third, it actually has some closure at the end, so it isn't like certain other fantasy series which are apparently never going to go anywhere, and never end either.Mercedes Lackey, Eric Flint, and Dave Freer are a perfectly matched writing trio...and a tripod is the strongest seat.  They seamlessly craft this rich, colorful, and highly complex story, filled with historical in-jokes (Eneko Lopez and his friends are the original seven members of the Jesuit order) and even a few Baen Barfly in-jokes ("It was enough to give Erik the mutters.")Even the little, passing-through characters are very vividly realized, and are real people, not spearcarriers.  Spiro, the Corfiote fisherman, for example, and his buddy, Taki the fisher captain, are human beings caught in the flash of the story's eye.I'm halfway through my third read of this book, and it is holding my attention so well that I have been sneaking off to read another couple of pages all day long.This is what alternate worlds fantasy should be.  Kim Stanley Robinson, Harry Turtledove, and other practitioners, please take note.  This is the reigning champion of the field.Walt Boyes

    I love this series
  

*by D***8 on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2014*

For anyone's info, this could be either considered the second or third in this series, although all of the books in this series are masterfully written to be stand-alone books (meaning you can start with any of them in any order and still know what's going on and fall in love with the characters), they are in a series.  The first book  is the Shadow of the Lion, then A Mankind Witch, then This Rough Magic.  They're all Adeptclass books and what I call "can't put downs".  I can't say how much sleep I have lost thanks to these authors either working together or separately.  The only thing that would make this series better would be to bring in John Ringo as a co-author, or Mrs.Lackey needs to conspire with him on some other series Pleeeeeeease?

    This Rough Magic
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2014*

I really liked this book after I got into it but the first third was hard because I didn't read any of the others in the series and I didn't know the characters or their background.  After I picked up on that it was very enjoyable.  I only wish the series, Heirs of Alexandria, were numbered so I knew what books came before or after this one.
