Master of the Five Magics

Not a bad fantasy novel, reads a bit like it was generated from quite an enjoyable (for the players) D&D campaign. But were that the case it would have been more fun for the players to play through than it is for us to read about. (I doubt that it actually /was/, but that's how it came across, to me and at least one other reader.) Some good ideas in here which might be eminently nickable for a fun D&D campaign, but only an average read, or a hair above.
