It seems like decades ago that I bought Dobson's fantasy novel Scriber, although it has really only been five years.. I have reread Scriber at least five times. The Flaw in All Magic is so different from my much-thumbed copy of Scriber. (Can a Kindle book be much-thumbed?) It is almost hard to believe the two are written by the same gifted author. And yet Scriber is not without humor and certainly not without suspense, The two books are simply at two quite separate points on the fantasy continuum line between serious (a la Tolkien) and the delightfully silly Myth series by Robert Asprin. (I am talking about a line folks, not the space-time continuum; that's sci-fi.)The Flaw in All Magic is a cannot – put – it – down fantasy mystery. It reminds me somewhat of Barbara Hambly's mysteries. But it really isn't at all like that. This book is fun from start to finish, but without being slapstick or the reliance on clichéd situations we have seen all too many times in fantasy novels. That is not to say this book does not have a dramatic finish; what worthwhile mystery doesn't?Please, Mr. Dobson, if you are reading this, give us more books in the Magebreakers series soon. (I am assuming it will be a series because it is labeled Book 1.) I promise every one of my extended family members will be thrilled with this series.
I think I found this by looking through the steampunk category on Amazon. It's more magepunk than steampunk, with magically driven engines and an airship lifted partly by spells; a steampunkish/dieselpunkish feel to the setting, but with lots of magic-as-technology and an assortment of fantasy races (elves, dwarves, gnomes, orcs, goblins, and so forth).Because this is pretty close to what I often write myself, I read it with great interest. Because it's extremely well done, I also read it with great enjoyment.The protagonist is a man without magical ability who was able to fool the magical university authorities for several years using a combination of sleight-of-hand and bluff, culminating in a dissertation which revealed his deception, and argued that only someone without magic could really understand it, because the flaw in all magic is the mage. Mages, being human(0id), are subject to error, and egotistical blindness to their own errors. (I was reminded of the flaws in computer programs introduced by programmers.) He's a rogue, but an ethical one, a little bit obsessive, and courageous when he needs to be.His sidekick is a half-orc who has come to the island where magic is still freely practiced because she wants to see amazing sights. Her sense of awe and wonder is a beautifully handled part of her character, and asserts itself even when she's in great peril. She's a good-natured character, contrary to orc stereotypes, and despite the fact that she's experienced prejudice her whole life (her orcish relatives see her as too human, and everyone else sees her as too orcish). I enjoyed the fact that she was the muscle in the pair. It's a simple, even a common, trope-switch to make the woman the physically dangerous one, but the main character's easy acceptance of it without any discussion gained the book extra points with me.Both characters are terrific, with enough backstory to feel real and sympathetic, introduced (like the worldbuilding) just when it's needed, and just as much as it's needed for the reader's understanding. Their collegial relationship is a joy to see, particularly since there's no attraction between them, but there is respect.The plot is a mystery/thriller, with a locked-room murder (of someone who mattered to the protagonist); politics (including echoes of current real-world politics of the arrogant, regressive far-right sort); fights, pursuits, and edge-of-the-seat physical danger; and roguish cleverness. The pacing, I felt, was a good balance between keeping things constantly moving and not failing to pause for reflection.On top of excellent editing, this all-around facility with the craft of writing helped push this into 5-star territory for me, and made this one of my favourite books this year. I'm very glad to have discovered another author who I can trust to tell a good story well.
I'm always stoked when I stumble across a promising new author. I just got done reading The Flaw in All Magic - which is Book 1 in Ben S. Dobson's Magebreakers series - and I cannot pimp it enough. Dobson's worldbuilding skills are legit and immersive. It's a fantasy book and an underdog story. It features as leads a much maligned, scrappy hero and an even more fantastic sidekick.In the hodgepodge city of Thaless, on the small island nation of the Audland Protectorate, Tane Carver, for the past two years, has scraped by courtesy of his having parlayed his deep knowledge of magic into odd jobs. It's ironic that Tane doesn't much care for magic; he distrusts it mightily. Except he's got a knack for catching the flaws in how a spell or ward is written. He's so gangster at it that, for four years, he was able to fool the University into believing he was a mage. Except our boy is 100% magicless. But then he got found out and expelled. Hence the past two years of scraping by.But when a student is murdered at University behind impregnable wards, Tane is summoned by his old teacher for a consultation gig. Tane jumps at the opportunity, thinking already of how he can finesse this into more lucrative prospects ahead.The plot description is what convinced me into trying this. And it wasn't too long before the story started giving me a whiff of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. See, Tane is the clever, sticky-fingered hombre who partners up with a giant basher. But that's just a first impression;there's a bit more to it than that. The Flaw in All Magic delivers on a string of action-packed sequences, but it's as much a locked room mystery, with the caveat that the author doesn't really play fair with parceling out the clues so that we can all play along.There are three main principals in the cast, all of whom I really liked. Tane Carver is your typical rumpled, smartass detective who is juuuust a wee bit more clever than the baddies and the constabulary and whoever else is in the room. He's been estranged from Constable Inspector Indree Lovial of Stooketon Yard, a University graduate with whom he once had an intimate relationship. Observe Constable Lovial be not at all thrilled that Tane has received special dispensation to work on her homicide case. But, more than anything else, what kept me swiping my Kindle page over is Tane's impromptu partner, the newcomer Kadka of Clan Nadivek. Kadka is half-orc, half-wide-eyed-wonder, and half-I-will-hit-you-in-the-face, and yes, I know that's three halves. I try to never use this word, but Kadka is simply delightful, and I love the camaraderie that quickly develops between her and Tane. Kadka is what makes this an unputdownable read for me. Just her zest alone at being in Thaless and being exposed to so much magic, that ratchets up my excitement for Dobson's worldbuilding. I'm very curious to explore more of not only the colorful city of Thaless but the Audland Protectorate, nation that welcomes all manner of magical creatures.I also want to mention another character I really enjoyed - never mind that she isn't "on camera" much. There aren't plenty of folks who lean towards Tane's side. Surprisingly, the Lady Protector Abena, the most important person in the Protectorate, is open-minded enough to give our guy the benefit of a doubt. This makes me like her and want to see more of her. What a fun read. I tore thru it in one sitting. At the book's ending, a key plotline is left dangling, a dangerous conspiracy left at large. Luckily, there's a sequel in the works, titled The Emperor's Mask.
