There's a lot of responsibility involved with being the most powerful wizard in the world, and Magdelene wants nothing to do with any of it. Lazy, lusty, and more likely to be found lying in the sun than casting runes or sacrificing unfortunate goats, she'd really rather avoid dealing with challenges, errant apprentices, demons, dragons, death, and bureaucracy. These seven stories include "Third Time Lucky", Tanya Huff's first professional sale to George Scithers at AMAZING STORIES. Thirty years, thirty novels, eighty-three short stories, and one television show later, this is where it all began. Stories included are The Last Lesson; Be It Ever So Humble; Mirror, Mirror, on the Lam; Third Time Lucky; And Who is Joah?; Nothing Up Her Sleeve; and We Two May Meet.Long-time Tanya Huff fans may recognize many of these stories from the long out-of-print collection STEALING MAGIC. Each story here is accompanied by an author note, brand new for this release.

This one I found entertaining, though not highly entertaining; it's a low 4 stars.There are a number of small typos and editing errors, the most amusing of which was the unintended antisemitism of one wizard, who had an expression of "gentile superiority". It's not terribly edited, but it needs another pass.What I did enjoy was that, as the author comments in her introduction, she has pulled off an overpowered protagonist by making the character's greatest weakness be herself. I'm not usually a fan of deeply flawed protagonists, but because this one had to be in order to work (and because the flaw wasn't especially harmful to anyone), it was OK.

This is a group of short stories written by Tanya Huff over a number of years. The first time I read them they were published in chronological order, beginning with the most powerful wizard in the world (also the laziest) coming into her powers. Being lazy, very sensuousI and very very clever she enjoys herself very much, without having to actually do much magic. The magic she does do is fascinating though. In the last story in this group she faces the fact that in spite of her great power, she can not save every situation and convince everyone that life is as enjoyable as she knows it to be. This book organizes these stories in the order in which they were published, and gives directions to which story comes next in the time line. For example the third story published tells us how in her teens, when her teacher tries to steal her power, she possesses so much power that he explodes into fine dust because he cannot hold it all. I did mention she is lazy, and instead of being thrilled to be the most powerful wizard in the world, she is somewhat irritated that she has to catch a demon let loose during the fight, not to mention having to clear away the mess that used to be her mentor. She will still have to explain to the king that she blew up his courtmage. I will not try to describe the first story published because like all the rest of the stories, it is so much fun and tightly written that a plot summary would take away from the enjoyment of the work. This says a good bit about Tanya Huff's, talent because according to the front of the book, this is one of the first stories she ever published ever.Over the years I loaned my first copy of the stories and so often that I finally lost track of it. I am thrilled that they are in print again. I love them no matter which order they are presented.

I love these stories of Magdalene By Sheila Ary The most powerful wizard in the world, Magdalene, is an entertaining character, always preferring to stay at home rather than go out into the world when she is called on to deal with some magical problem. How she deals with problems when she has to is often entertaining and surprising. You get to like her more as you go through these five stories. The author points out that you can read the tales in the order that they were written, which is the order that they are presented in the book, or in the order that they proceed through Magdalene's life. Either way Magdalene is going to hold your attention because the tales are so much fun. I love Tanya Huff's books, and these stories are no exception.
