I finally had time to read #2 in the Magic Thief series and now I'm frustrated! I HAVE to find time to read #3 soon. I really want to know what happens to Conn and Rowan and Nevery. And find out if Conn is finally accepted for his knowledge of magic.
In #2 Conn tries to communicate with the magic through pyrotechnics with disastrous results. He travels to another city with Rowan as part of a diplomatic entourage and there he is challenged to confront the dark magic and the dark wizard who rules there. Good stuff!
