megan lyndholm also writes as robin hobb.
 i've never read a hobb book, but seen plenty on the shelves, so she's well established.
 the wizard of the pigeons is set in modern day seattle. 
 it tells a story of magic, that is set all around us, but that we never notice. 
 the story focuses on a battle of good and bad, fought by the wizard.
 it's a strange book, but good strange! it leaves you thinking about the things we 'think' to be true.
 the characters are strong, the story flows seamlessly from start to finish.
 i couldn't put the book down, read it in 2 days, lol
 10/10, i'll be looking for robin hobb books next....
