Shadow Magic by Patricia C. Wrede
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was Wrede's first novel, and I could tell because it took until the final few chapters (when there happened to be more dialogue) for the voice I remember from her Enchanted Forest Chronicles to start to appear in more than glimpses. Until then it was still an enjoyable a book but I thought I was reading Sharon Shinn or Robin McKinley (the final battle was EXTREMELY reminiscent of The Blue Sword's!), with an extra dose of Tolkeinism.
