Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. (Sir Francis Bacon)

The Wizard of London (Mercedes Lackey)

I love Mercedes Lackey, but somehow I skipped her Elemental Masters series. This is actually the fourth book in the series, and I think I'm going to have to go back and read them from the beginning.

I picked The Wizard of London up because it dealt with a special school in Victorian England, which was enough to poke my interest. The mixture of historical and magical fantasy was well balanced, and I found it difficult to put the book down.
