Brittany's Reviews > The Wizard Hunters

Martha Wells has more imagination and more heart than any other 12 authors put together. (Unless you're exceptionally persnickety about which authors you pick and the list includes a lot of names like "Pratchett," "Dunnett," and "Bujold.)"

She creates the most breath-taking and ambitious, and also enjoyable, worlds. In the Raksura books, she created the best tree-houses ever. Here, she reminagines World War II and the London Blitz, being sure to incorporate world-travel and a gorgeous cruise ship taken over by the soldiers where our protagonists get to live and run around. (Apparently, the Queen Ravenna was based on the real live Queen Mary).

There's also magic, adventure, romance, intrigue, mystery, and politics. It's just so well done and, have I mentioned? so much fun.
