Books about magic/witches....

[ginger987]

I have an urge to read something thats about witches or magic in some way. I've read the 'a discovery of witches' trilogy and cant think of anything else.....any suggestions?

Diana Wynne Jones did write A Sudden Wild Magic for adults - a group of witches are responsible for looking after the world, and discover a bunch of mages from another universe are meddling with things. Naturally they pack a bus full of witches and send them off to sort out those mages.

Paul Cornell has two ongoing series involving witches, both fairly gritty urban fantasy:

The Witches of Lychford: set in a village, proposed supermarket on edge of town turns out to be backed by dark forces.

The Shadow Police: a police team suddenly acquire occult powers & have to work out what to do with them while struggling to track down a child abductor who is hiding her victims with magic.

Meant to point out that the Witches of Lychford series is novellas, so a quick read.

You could try Nora Roberts Three Sister's Trilogy- This has witches & magic-
(1)Dance Upon The Air. (2)Heaven And Earth. (3) Face The Fire.
Or her Key Trilogy- This has gods & magic- (1)Key of Light. (2)Key of Knowledge. (3)Key of Valour.

A discovery of witches by Deborah Harkness is brilliant.
I've also read the Mosaic Chronicles by Andrea Pearson - first few books are great then it peters off a bit....,

I love all the Sarah Addison Allen books - really warm and comforting, and Alice Hoffman. I have a bookshelf for all these for Autumn and really look forward to it.
