The Aubergine Spellbook — Goldeen Ogawa

Corianne Birch has come out of retirement to prove once again that no hand is as adept as hers at dramatizing the adventures of Bouragner Felpz. Although when one's subject is an immortal magician whose adventures involve giant eagles and magical wolves, arcane murders, dead gods, and otherworldly visitors, there is less need for dramatization and more for a steady, clear voice full of wit and humor—which Birch provides with assured skill. All who despaired of ever reading more tales of Felpz at the conclusion of Volume II must rejoice at this third installment, which presents three scintillating short novels published together for the first time. It also includes the special addition of an introduction written by Felpz himself, and a never-before-seen short story from a surprising new perspective.
